DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2020.112748
Abstract: Addictions are characterized by choices made to satisfy the addiction despite the risk it could produce an adverse consequence. Here, we developed a murine version of a 'risky decision-making' task (RDT), in which mice could… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2018.12.009
Abstract: Both humans and non-human animals regularly encounter decisions involving risk and uncertainty. This paper provides an overview of our research program examining risky decisions in which the odds and outcomes are learned through experience in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jebo.2018.11.010
Abstract: Abstract It is becoming increasingly common to accept that heterogeneity of preferences is an appropriate approach to describe aggregate experimental data on risky choice. We propose a parametric form of utility consistent with Markowitz’s (1952)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/pha0000300
Abstract: Risky choice is the tendency to choose a large, uncertain reward over a small, certain reward, and is typically measured with probability discounting, in which the probability of obtaining the large reinforcer decreases across blocks… read more here.

Noisy Preferences in Risky Choice: A Cautionary Note
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Psychological Review"
DOI: 10.1037/rev0000073
Abstract: We examine the effects of multiple sources of noise in risky decision making. Noise in the parameters that characterize an individual’s preferences can combine with noise in the response process to distort observed choice proportions.… read more here.

Living Near the Edge: How Extreme Outcomes and Their Neighbors Drive Risky Choice
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Experimental Psychology: General"
DOI: 10.1037/xge0000414
Abstract: Extreme stimuli are often more salient in perception and memory than moderate stimuli. In risky choice, when people learn the odds and outcomes from experience, the extreme outcomes (best and worst) also stand out. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.592584
Abstract: In the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, people are often faced with uncertain risky choice. Risky choice will be affected by different descriptions of the event’s gain or loss framework, this phenomenon is known as… read more here.

Toward an attentional turn in research on risky choice
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.953008
Abstract: For a long time, the dominant approach to studying decision making under risk has been to use psychoeconomic functions to account for how behavior deviates from the normative prescriptions of expected value maximization. While this… read more here.
