Positive autobiographical memory recall does not influence temporal discounting: An internal meta-analysis of experimental studies
Statistical information about reward timing is insufficient for promoting optimal persistence decisions
When deciding how long to keep waiting for delayed rewards that will arrive at an uncertain time, different distributions of possible reward times dictate different optimal strategies for maximizing reward. When reward timing distributions are heavy-tailed (e.g., waiting on hold) there is a point at which waiting is no longer advantageous because the opportunity cost of waiting is too high. Alternatively, when reward timing distributions have mor…
Genetic underpinnings of risky behaviour relate to altered neuroanatomy
Previous research points to the heritability of risk-taking behaviour. However, evidence on how genetic dispositions are translated into risky behaviour is scarce. Here, we report a genetically informed neuroimaging study of real-world risky behaviour across the domains of drinking, smoking, driving and sexual behaviour in a European sample from the UK Biobank (N = 12,675). We find negative associations between risky behaviour and grey-matter vol…
Got chocolate? Bilateral prefrontal cortex stimulation augments chocolate consumption
A bias–variance trade-off governs individual differences in on-line learning in an unpredictable environment
The valuation system: A coordinate-based meta-analysis of Bold fMRI experiments examining neural correlates of subjective value
An opportunity cost model of subjective effort and task performance
Why does performing certain tasks cause the aversive experience of mental effort and concomitant deterioration in task performance? One explanation posits a physical resource that is depleted over time. We propose an alternative explanation that centers on mental representations of the costs and benefits associated with task performance. Specifically, certain computational mechanisms, especially those associated with executive function, can be de…
