An automatic valuation system in the human brain: evidence from functional neuroimaging.

TLDR
It is verified that brain regions encoding preferences can valuate various categories of objects and further test whether they still express preferences when attention is diverted to another task.

Engaging and Exploring: Cortical Circuits for Adaptive Foraging Decisions

TL;DR: A process model for making foraging choices that integrates the value of short-term options and compares that value to a decision threshold determined by long-term reward rates is described, provocatively implying that maladaptive impulsive choices can result from dysregulated foraging neurocircuitry.

Filling the gaps: Cognitive control as a critical lens for understanding mechanisms of value-based decision-making

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide a complementary perspective: how cognitive control research has informed understanding of decision-making, highlighting three particular areas of research where this critical interchange has occurred: how different types of goals shape the evaluation of choice options, how people use control to adjust the ways they make their decisions, and how people monitor decisions to inform adjustments to control at multiple levels and timescales.

Neural antecedents of social decision-making in a partner choice task

TL;DR: The authors used functional MRI to investigate whether the nucleus accumbens and the right anterior insula served a similar function during an analogous social decision-making task without the influence of monetary outcomes.

Smith’s practicality requirement meets dual-process models of moral judgment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw on dual-process models of moral judgment to develop an externalist response to Smith's argument that moral judgments can also be formed via an alternative pathway that does not necessarily affect motivation, and so motivation and judgment can come apart.

Temporal Chunking as a Mechanism for Unsupervised Learning of Task-Sets

TL;DR: It is shown that task-set learning can be achieved provided the timescale of chunking is slower than the timesscale of stimulus-response learning, and specific predictions linking chunking and task- set retrieval that were borne out by behavioral performance and reaction times are identified.

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior

TL;DR: Theory of games and economic behavior as mentioned in this paper is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based, and it has been widely used to analyze a host of real-world phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations.

Parallel Organization of Functionally Segregated Circuits Linking Basal Ganglia and Cortex

TL;DR: The basal ganglia serve primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to "funnel" these influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex.

A perspective on judgment and choice: Mapping bounded rationality.

TL;DR: Determinants and consequences of accessibility help explain the central results of prospect theory, framing effects, the heuristic process of attribute substitution, and the characteristic biases that result from the substitution of nonextensional for extensional attributes.

The Neural Basis of Decision Making

TL;DR: This work focuses on simple decisions that can be studied in the laboratory but emphasize general principles likely to extend to other settings, including deliberation and commitment.

Separate Neural Systems Value Immediate and Delayed Monetary Rewards

TL;DR: The authors examined the neural correlates of time discounting while subjects made a series of choices between monetary reward options that varied by delay to delivery and demonstrated that two separate systems are involved in such decisions.
