The Dynamic Processes Underlying Decision Making Under Time-Pressure

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Every day we encounter situations where we must rapidly decide on a course of action. For instance, we may need to quickly reach to turn off pot that is boiling over on the stove without burning ourselves or detect and then react to avoid possible road dangers while driving. Overall, we need to select and perform actions that achieve our goals and avoid negative outcomes. To do this, we must first attend to the appropriate information in the environment to gain the necessary information to make a decision. Once we have gained the information we then have to weigh the information appropriately when selecting and planning actions. The long-term goal of the proposed research is to understand these processes that influence rapid visuomotor decision-making.
