The dynamics of explore-exploit decisions suggest a threshold mechanism for reduced random exploration in older adults

Caroline E. Phelps, Alec Frisvold, Meghna Sreeram, Victoria Antoniou, Larissa E. Oliveira, Sierra R. Tooke, Yan Z. Lu, Anna Catherine Lemon, Joseph U. Fraire, Alexe G. Delval, Betsy K. Smith, Devynn Hailey Spangenberg, Madelien Nicola Mithelavage, Michelle Nhi Ngo, Elizabeth MO. Keller, , Robert C. Wilson

This paper uses a drift diffusion model to show that older adults have higher decision thresholds, which may compensate for lower signal-to-noise ratios, leading to reduced random exploration.
