许多决策都依赖于过去的经验。最近的研究表明，人们的选择偏向于选择记忆力更好的选项，即使这些选项相对来说没有吸引力（即，记忆偏差）。在本研究中，我们使用眼动追踪来比较视觉注意对基于记忆和非基于记忆的决策之间的偏好选择的影响。参与者完成了记忆和决定任务。在这项任务中，他们首先学习了屏幕位置和零食之间的联系。然后，他们在零食之间做出二元选择。这些零食要么是隐藏的，需要回忆（基于记忆的决策），要么是可见的（非基于记忆的决策）。值得注意的是，与非基于记忆的决策相比，基于记忆的决策更受注意力的影响。然而，视觉注意并没有介导偏好选择的记忆偏差。最后，我们采用并扩展了最近提出的计算模型，以提供一个全面的描述的作用，注意力在基于记忆的决定。总之，本工作阐明了视觉注意如何与情景记忆和基于记忆的决策中的偏好形成相互作用。
Many decisions rely on past experiences. Recent research indicates that people's choices are biased towards choosing better-remembered options, even if these options are comparatively unattractive (i.e., a memory bias). In the current study, we used eye tracking to compare the influence of visual attention on preferential choice between memory-based and non-memory-based decisions. Participants completed the remember-and-decide task. In this task, they first learned associations between screen locations and snack items. Then, they made binary choices between snack items. These snacks were either hidden and required recall (memory-based decisions), or they were visible (non-memory-based decisions). Remarkably, choices were more strongly influenced by attention in memory-based compared to non-memory-based decisions. However, visual attention did not mediate the memory bias on preferential choices. Finally, we adopt and expand a recently proposed computational model to provide a comprehensive description of the role of attention in memory-based decisions. In sum, the present work elucidates how visual attention interacts with episodic memory and preference formation in memory-based decisions.
