Individual risk attitudes arise from noise in neurocognitive magnitude representations

2022-08-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Humans are generally risk averse: they prefer options with smaller certain outcomes over those with larger uncertain ones. This risk aversion is classically explained with a concave utility function, meaning that successive increases in monetary payoffs should increase subjective valuations by progressively smaller amounts. Here, we provide neural and behavioural evidence that risk aversion may...
