Perceptual Decision-Making: Picking the Low-Hanging Fruit?

Floris P de Lange et al. Trends Cogn Sci. 2017 May.

Abstract

How do we decide what we perceive? Obviously, we base our decisions on sensory evidence. However, a new and surprising study by Hagura et al. shows that our perceptual decisions are also biased by the action costs that are associated with our decisions.

Keywords: decision bias; drift-diffusion model; motor action; perceptual decision making.
