This project addresses three fundamental questions about human decision-making; 1) how does exploratory choice lead to “learning traps”, persistent patterns of poor decision-making that cause us to miss rewards and experience losses? 2) how does susceptibility to traps change with age? 3) what strategies prevent traps or facilitate escape? The project will advance our understanding of the cognitive processes underlying adult and child decision-making, using innovative experimental paradigms and computational modeling. Expected outcomes include a novel computational model that explains developmental change in trap formation. The results will guide strategies for improved decision-making in educational, financial, and social settings.

这个项目解决了关于人类决策的三个基本问题：1）探索性选择如何导致“学习陷阱”，即导致我们错过奖励和经历损失的持续的不良决策模式？2)对陷阱的敏感性如何随年龄变化？3)什么样的策略可以防止陷阱或帮助逃脱？该项目将使用创新的实验范式和计算建模，促进我们对成人和儿童决策的认知过程的理解。预期成果包括一种新型计算模型，可以解释陷阱形成的发育变化。研究结果将指导改善教育、金融和社会环境决策的战略。
