The value of time during decisions

该项目旨在研究人们在决策过程中如何重视时间。通过精心设计的实验和最先进的数学认知模型的创新组合，该项目预计将产生关于人们在决策时如何有效分配时间的新知识，允许人们最佳表现的因素以及导致次优表现的因素。该项目的预期成果是为理解人类决策的最优性提供一个新的框架。这一结果有潜在的好处，提供洞察决策机制在一系列的情况下，特别是老龄化和应用决策模型。

This project aims to investigate how people value time during decision making. Using an innovative combination of carefully designed experiments and state-of-the-art mathematical cognitive models, this project expects to generate new knowledge regarding how efficiently people allocate time when making decisions, the factors that allow people to perform optimally and those that lead to suboptimal performance. The anticipated outcome of the project is a new framework for understanding the optimality of human decision making. This outcome has the potential benefit of providing insight into decision mechanisms across a range of contexts, particularly ageing and models of applied decision making.
