Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Impulsivity is linked to naturalistic risk-taking, but its relation to laboratory measures of risky decision-making is unclear.
  • Differences in task parameters across laboratory measures may explain inconsistent findings regarding impulsivity and risky decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate neural correlates of risky decision-making using the Angling Risk Task (ART) and the Balloon Analog Risk Taking (BART) task.
  • To determine if neural activation patterns are specific to the ART or generalizable across different risky decision-making tasks.
  • To explore relationships between neural activation, task performance, impulsivity, and self-reported risk-taking.

Main Methods:

  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine brain activity in 23 healthy adults.
  • Participants completed both the ART and the BART, which are laboratory-based measures of risky decision-making.
  • Exploratory analyses correlated neural activation with performance metrics, impulsivity scores (e.g., dysfunctional impulsivity scale), and self-reported risk-taking behaviors.

Main Results:

  • Neural activation differed between the ART and BART, with a valuation network associated with reward tracking in ART but not BART.
  • Increased fronto-cingulate activation was observed during risky choice trials in BART compared to ART, potentially due to differences in ambiguity and probability of loss.
  • Sensitivity of neural response to reward magnitude in ART correlated with suboptimal performance, higher dysfunctional impulsivity, and increased risky behaviors, unlike BART.

Conclusions:

  • The Angling Risk Task (ART) exhibits distinct, decomposable patterns of neural activation.
  • Differences in task parameters (ambiguity, probability of loss) likely drive variations in neural responses between ART and BART.
  • The ART may offer a more nuanced measure for understanding naturalistic risk-taking and its relationship with impulsivity.
