Individual risk attitudes arise from noise in neurocognitive magnitude representations

2022-09-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>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 aver...
