“…On a broader level, CIB is often considered as an instance of confirmation bias [11,61], which has been proposed to to facilitate group cooperation and stability [48]. A different line of argumentation would claim that human brains are not well suited for solving task consisting of independent samples, which provide a constraint on our rational processing capacities [62,63]. Such an inductive bias might be a product of evolutionary adaptation to temporally-dependent environments, such as foraging patches [64].…”

Within and Cross-Domain Effects of Choice-Induced Bias

Recent evidence suggests choices influence evaluation, giving rise to choice-induced bias. It is however unknown whether this phenomenon is constrained to the domain of choice, or spans across domains, allowing a decision to influence evaluation of unrelated item-specific information. In a set of 5 experiments (4 preregistered, total of 425 participants) we show that people can be influenced by their choices not only when the choices are relevant to the evaluation (within-domain), but also when they are not (across-domains), and explore the differences between the two. Our generative cognitive model reveals that the bias is driven jointly by two mechanisms: a domain-general, conflict-sensitive consistency bias, and a domain-specific value-update. These two mechanisms can be mapped to two prevalent theories of choice-induced bias: cognitive dissonance, and self-perception theory.

“…Yoo, Hayden and Pearson [50] deal, in their contribution, with one crucial problem of this nature-one that again lies at the core of how we should conceive, model and test the interplay between decisional capacities and the environment outside, in order to be as close as possible to valid ethological observations. Real-world decisions, the authors point out, have no temporal or spatial boundaries.…”

Do we have any valid reasons to affirm that non-human primates display economic behaviour in a sufficiently rich and precise sense of the phrase? To address this question, we have to develop a set of criteria to assess the vast array of experimental studies and field observations on individual cognitive and behavioural competences as well as the collective organization of non-human primates. We review a sample of these studies and assess how they answer to the following four main challenges. (i) Do we see any economic organization or institutions emerge among groups of non-human primates? (ii) Are the cognitive abilities, and often biases, that have been evidenced as underlying typical economic decision-making among humans, also present among non-human primates? (iii) Can we draw positive lessons from performance comparisons among primate species, humans and non-humans but also across non-human primate species, as elicited by canonical game-theoretical experimental paradigms, especially as far as economic cooperation and coordination are concerned? And (iv) in which way should we improve models and paradigms to obtain more ecological data and conclusions? Articles discussed in this paper most often bring about positive answers and promising perspectives to support the existence and prevalence of economic behaviours among non-human primates. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Existence and prevalence of economic behaviours among non-human primates’.

“…by design. It is unlikely that information-processing was optimized for choices like that (Gabay & Apps, 2020;Yoo et al, 2021). It is instead much more likely that we rely on our experience not only to retrieve the values of options, but also to decide how to decide (Griffiths et al, 2019), and what information to pay attention to, and remember solutions that might be useful in the future (Dasgupta & Gershman, 2021).…”

Filling the gaps: Cognitive control as a critical lens for understanding mechanisms of value-based decision-making

Research into value-based decision making has made tremendous progress in identifying behavioral and neural correlates of choice value. However, these correlates have been primarily viewed through a field-specific lens, focusing on how they contribute to the evaluation and selection between options to arrive at a choice. Here, we reveal blind-spots resulting from this limited perspective, and how they can be filled in through taking the perspective of cognitive control. We highlight three particular insights that this perspective offers: (1) a view towards the goal-relevance of one’s options and their features; (2) a view of decision-making correlates as a proxy for monitoring to determine control adjustments; (3) a view of those correlates as a proxy for monitoring that extends temporally and hierarchically beyond the immediate choice task. We show how adopting these complementary perspectives offers new insight into the determinants of both decisions and control; alternative interpretations for common findings in the neuroeconomic literature; and fruitful directions for future research.
