TLDR
A word search puzzle paradigm was used to examine the effects of task environment and individual differences in ability on information foraging and suggest that individuals may differentially optimize information gain through self-regulation of exploration and exploitation.About:

Foraging across the life span: is there a reduction in exploration with aging?
TL;DR: Overall, the evidence suggests that foraging behavior may undergo significant changes across the life span across internal and external search, and finds evidence of a trend toward reduced exploration with increased age.

TL;DR: A cognitive model of web-navigation called CoLiDeS was used to predict which search engine result a user would choose to click and match between model-predicted clicks and actual user clicks was found to be significantly higher for difficult tasks compared to simple tasks.

TL;DR: Evidence for preservation with age in the ability to adapt to changing learning environments so as to improve performance is provided, based on an ecological paradigm of reading that affords choice and self-regulation.

Positive explorers: modeling dynamic control in normal aging
Brian D. Glass,Magda Osman +1 more
TL;DR: Older adults exhibit a positivity effect in which they are more influenced by positively valenced feedback, congruent with previous research, as well as enhanced exploratory behavior.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal foraging, the marginal value theorem.
TL;DR: This paper will develop a model for the use of a “patchy habitat” by an optimal predator and depresses the availability of food to itself so that the amount of food gained for time spent in a patch of type i is hi(T), where the function rises to an asymptote.

TL;DR: The motivation for this project, the methods used to collect the data, and the search engine that affords access to the behavioral measures and descriptive lexical statistics for these stimuli are described.
MonographDOI
Foraging : behavior and ecology
TL;DR: This volume brings together twenty-two experts from throughout the field to offer the latest on the mechanics of foraging, modern foraging theory, and foraging ecology, and will be the definitive guide to the field.

Category Norms: An Updated and Expanded Version of the Battig and Montague (1969) Norms.
TL;DR: An expanded version of the Battig and Montague (1969) category norms are reported, based on responses from three different sites varying in geographical locations within the United States, to meet the need for updated norms.
