C. Mohr and Ming HsuFrontiers Media SA2015France :Frontiers Media SA,20151 online resource (143 pages) illustrationsFrontiers Research TopicsIncludes bibliographical references.Most decisions in life are based on incomplete information and have uncertain consequences. To successfully cope with real-life situations, the nervous system has to estimate, represent and eventually resolve uncertainty at various levels. A common tradeoff in such decisions involves those between the magnitude of the expected rewards and the uncertainty of obtaining the rewards. For instance, a decision maker may choose to forgo the high expected rewards of investing in the stock market and settle instead for the lower expected reward and much less uncertainty of a savings account. Little is known about how different forms of uncertainty, such as risk or ambiguity, are processed and learned about and how they are integrated with expected rewards and individual preferences throughout the decision making process. With this Research Topic we aim to provide a deeper and more detailed understanding of the processes behind decision making under uncertainty.NeurosciencesBiological psychiatryNeuropsychiatryDecision MakingContextual influencessituational influencesneuroeconomicsriskdecision neuroscienceuncertaintyindividual differencesNeurosciences.Biological psychiatry.Neuropsychiatry.153.8/3Kerstin Preuschoffauth1366914Preuschoff KerstinMohr Peter N.
