Suboptimality in Perceptual Decision Making

2016-06-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Short Abstract</h4> Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal, but this view remains controversial. To elucidate the issue, we review the vast literature on suboptimalities in perceptual tasks and compile the proposed hypotheses about the origins of suboptimal behavior. Further, we argue that general claims about optimality are virtually meaningless and result in a false sense of progress. Ins...
