Decision-making requires two different brain areas that mature at different times during the teenage years. This may help parents understand why their teens are more prone to making risky decisions.
Motivation influences neural networks associated with perception and impacts our decision-making skills.
Even though people engage in seemingly impulsive decision-making, they may actually be predisposed to curtail it.
Moral illusions can fool our decision-making, making us more selfish, a new study reveals.
Video game players are faster and more accurate in their responses, and excel at decision-making tasks. The differences in accuracy and reaction time correlated with enhanced brain activity.
Study reveals how specific tasks are distributed to different areas within the prefrontal cortex to help with decision-making processes.
A new mathematical model has the potential to accurately distinguish a misunderstanding from false information and lies.
A new theory of decision-making helps explain why humans often make decisions that are simply adequate, not optimal. According to the theory, people often use relative thinking when they should use absolutes, and vice-versa.
The brain maximizes performance while minimizing cost by using data compression to help optimize decision-making.
Decisive people may be more confident in their choices, but that does not mean they are better at making decisions than the rest of us.
Sometimes, changing your mind about an initial decision can lead to a better overall outcome and success.
Study explores brain activity in primates and humans when presented with a choice between one option that maximizes information and another which prioritizes reward during decision making.
