Decision Processes in Visual Working Memory

该项目旨在研究一个新的理论，快速人类决策和记忆过程的背景下，一个连续的选择集。 许多现实世界中的行动导向型决策，例如在开车、步行或骑自行车时做出的决策，都需要决策者从一系列连续的备选方案中进行选择，而决策往往是基于对过去事件的记忆。该项目将使用人体实验和计算建模方法来增加我们对一类重要的基于记忆的决策任务所涉及的过程的理解。预期的结果将提供更好的认知计算的理解，这可能有助于相关技术的未来发展。

This project aims to investigate a new theory of rapid human decision making and memory processes in contexts of a continuous choice set. Many real-world, action-oriented decisions, such as those made while driving, walking, or cycling, require the decision maker to choose from a continuous set of alternatives and decisions are often based on memories of past events. This project will use human experimentation and computational modelling methods to increase our understanding of the processes involved in an important class of memory-based decision tasks. The expected outcomes will provide an improved understanding of cognitive computation, which may aid in the future development of associated technologies.
