Schemas

11.6K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Decision Making

108
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

Reason and Intuition

6.4K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Nonconscious mimicry occurs when individuals alter their mannerisms to match the behaviors and expressions of those nearby, without intention.

Summary

Extended deliberation time reduces cognitive crosstalk in decision-making, but not motor costs. Humans anticipate future body states for decisions, though this is limited in new tasks.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human Factors

Background:

  • Embodied decision-making involves biases related to motor costs and cognitive crosstalk.
  • The influence of deliberation time on these embodied biases is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how extended deliberation time affects embodied decision biases, specifically motor costs (MC) and cognitive crosstalk (CC).
  • To determine if individuals integrate immediate or anticipated body states when making decisions under time constraints.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed a tracking task alongside reward-based decisions with varying preview times.
  • Two experiments (N=58, N=67) manipulated preview time and assessed tracking and decision behavior.
  • Statistical analyses examined the influence of preview time and state integration on biases.

Main Results:

  • Extended preview time significantly reduced cognitive crosstalk (CC) bias.
  • Participants adapted tracking to serialize with decision-making, partially explaining reduced CC.
  • Motor cost (MC) bias was marginally affected and showed no anticipatory adjustments.
  • Results suggest integration of anticipated body states, not immediate states, during decision adaptation.

Conclusions:

  • Humans anticipate their future body state when implementing decisions, considering associated motor and cognitive demands.
  • Anticipatory adaptations for motor costs are limited in low-practice tasks, unlike overlearned behaviors.
  • Decision-making processes are sensitive to anticipated bodily states, with CC being more adaptable than MC.
