Models of human behavior in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) have played a pivotal role accounting for behavioral differences during decision-making. One critical difference between models that been used to account IGT is inclusion or exclusion assumption participants tend persevere, stay with same option over consecutive trials. allow this include win-stay-lose-shift (WSLS) and reinforcement learning (RL) decay rule where expected values each as they are chosen less often. shortcoming RL...
To reduce the spread of COVID-19 transmission, government agencies in United States (US) recommended precautionary guidelines, including wearing masks and social distancing to encourage prevention disease.

Therefore, using these common frameworks, we conducted a web-based experiment with 94 participants, who were younger (ages 19-22) older (65+) adults, how perceived app trust, sensitivity data, and benefits influence users decisions.

This study sought to assess how framing effects modulate age-related differences in effort-based decision-making. Consistent with the selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) model's loss prevention account of aging, we predicted that older adults would be more willing select high-effort options contexts than gain contexts. Older younger completed effort expenditure for rewards task (EEfRT) either a or context. The EEfRT is an decision-making paradigm which participants choose between...
