“…A growing body of research has shown that interoceptive awareness is implicated in decision making (Dunn, Evans, Makarova, White, & Clark, 2012; Dunn, Galton et al 2010; Kirk, Downar, & Montague, 2011; Werner, Jung, Duschek, & Schandry, 2009), affect regulation (Füstös, Gramann, Herbert, & Pollatos, 2013; Sze, Gyurak, Yuan, & Levenson, 2010), and in other domains of cognitive and behavioral functioning (Herbert et al, 2010; Pollatos & Schandry, 2008; Pollatos, Schandry, Auer, & Kaufmann, 2007; Werner, Mannhart, Reyes Del Paso, & Duschek, 2014; Werner, Peres, Duschek, & Schandry, 2010). Specifically, Kirk et al (2011) found that interoception drives increased rational decision-making while playing the ultimatum game, a two-person monetary exchange task.…”
