Learning shapes the representation of behavioral choice in the human brain.

12 May 2009 Making successful decisions under uncertainty due to noisy sensory signals is thought to benefit from previous experience. However, the human brain mechanisms that mediate flexible decisions through learning remain largely unknown. Comparing ... Read more...

Implicit misattribution as a mechanism underlying evaluative conditioning.

29 Apr 2009 Evaluative conditioning (EC) refers to the formation or change of an attitude toward an object, following that object's pairing with positively or negatively valenced stimuli. The authors provide evidence that EC can occur through an implicit ... Read more...

Automatic optimism: the affective basis of judgments about the likelihood of future events.

29 Apr 2009 People generally judge that the future will be consistent with their desires, but the reason for this desirability bias is unclear. This investigation examined whether affective reactions associated with future events are the mechanism through ... Read more...
