  • A Cognitive Computational Approach to Social and Collective Decision-Making

    Open AccessAlan Novaes Tump, Dominik Deffner et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2023Cited by: 2References: 15

    Collective dynamics play a key role in everyday decision-making. Whether social influence promotes the spread of accurate information and ultimately results in adaptive behavior or leads to false information cascades and maladaptive social contagion strongly depends on the cognitive mechanisms underlying social interactions. Here we argue that cognitive modeling, in tandem with experiments that allow collective dynamics to emerge, can mechanistic…

    Collective dynamics play a key role in everyday decision-making.

  • Strategies for integrating disparate social information

    Lucas Molleman, Alan Novaes Tump et al.PREPRINT2020

    Note that the paper has been published on https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2020.2413.** Our increasingly interconnected world provides virtually unlimited opportunities to observe the behavior of others. This affords abundant useful information but also requires navigating complex social environments with people holding disparate or conflicting views. It is, however, still largely unclear how people integrate information from multiple social sources …

  • Wise or mad crowds? The cognitive mechanisms underlying information cascades

    Alan Novaes Tump, Timothy J Pleskac et al.PREPRINT2019

    Whether getting vaccinated, buying stocks, or crossing streets, people rarely make decisions alone. Rather, multiple people decide sequentially, setting the stage for information cascades whereby early-deciding individuals can influence others' choices. To understand how information cascades through social systems, it is essential to capture the dynamics of the decision-making process. We introduce the social drift-diffusion model to capture thes…
