A unified theory of distraction in human perceptual, cognitive and economic decision-making

2017-07-06

Abstract excerpt

When making decisions, humans are often distracted by irrelevant information. Distraction has different impact on perceptual, cognitive and value-guided choices, giving rise to well-described behavioural phenomena such as the tilt illusion, conflict adaptation, or economic decoy effects. However, a single, unified model that can account for all these phenomena has yet to emerge. Here, we offer one such account, ba...
