Significance Recent behavioral research has made rapid progress toward revealing the processes by which we make choices based on judgments of subjective value. A key insight has been that this process unfolds incrementally over time, as we gradually build up evidence in favor of a particular preference. Although the data for this ‟evidence-integration” model are compelling, they derive almost entirely from single-step choices: Would you like chocolate or vanilla ice cream? Decisions in everyday life are typically more complex. In particular, they generally involve choices between sequences of action, with accompanying series of outcomes. We present here results from two experiments, providing the first evidence to our knowledge that the standard integration model of choice can be directly extended to multistep decision making. Research on the dynamics of reward-based, goal-directed decision making has largely focused on simple choice, where participants decide among a set of unitary, mutually exclusive options. Recent work suggests that the deliberation process underlying simple choice can be understood in terms of evidence integration: Noisy evidence in favor of each option accrues over time, until the evidence in favor of one option is significantly greater than the rest. However, real-life decisions often involve not one, but several steps of action, requiring a consideration of cumulative rewards and a sensitivity to recursive decision structure. We present results from two experiments that leveraged techniques previously applied to simple choice to shed light on the deliberation process underlying multistep choice. We interpret the results from these experiments in terms of a new computational model, which extends the evidence accumulation perspective to multiple steps of action.
