TLDR
Treating attention as a nonunitary mechanism, the possibility of incorporating subsampling as a generic heuristic based on attentional mechanisms and the necessity to consider the role of attentional scope in addition to the allocation of attention, are suggested.Abstract:
Theoretical discussions and models of preferential choice have significantly improved our understanding of decision making over the past few decades. Although attention is a key cognitive mechanism that is often used in these theoretical discussions, formal treatment of attention is quite naive. We bring to light how attention has been used explicitly and implicitly to conceptualize some generic modes of thought followed by a discussion of results from cognitive psychology on the interaction between attention and decision making. In the process, we discuss issues with theorizations regarding the role of attention. We suggest treating attention as a nonunitary mechanism, the possibility of incorporating subsampling as a generic heuristic based on attentional mechanisms and the necessity to consider the role of attentional scope in addition to the allocation of attention, that is, conceptualized in terms of resources. These discussions also bear upon the conceptual and formal treatment of preferential choice in particular and the psychology of decision making in general.read more

Evaluating the Role of Attention in the Context of Unconscious Thought Theory: Differential Impact of Attentional Scope and Load on Preference and Memory
TL;DR: The results indicate the important role of attention in processes critical for decision making and calls for a re-evaluation of the unconscious thought theory (UTT) and the need for reconceptualizing the role of Attention.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic and controlled laboratory study of wind energy perceptions in disparate settings and found that affective experiential versus acceptability perceptions have different explanatory composition and are affected differently by information.

Rational choice and the structure of the environment.
TL;DR: A comparative examination of the models of adaptive behavior employed in psychology and economics shows that in almost all respects the latter postulate a much greater complexity in the choice mechanisms, and a much larger capacity in the organism for obtaining information and performing computations than do the former.
