This paper introduces a model that explains how expectations influence perceptual decisions by integrating memory retrieval and dynamic uncertainty estimation.

This study shows early-life unpredictability affects decision-making under uncertainty by increasing discounting and overharvesting, distinct from lifelong stress effects.

This study examines how anhedonia and early-life unpredictability interact to influence threat-reward decision-making in humans.

This paper tests whether memory discrimination is supported by lossy compression or expansion of neural codes, finding that greater lossiness predicts better performance in a memory task.

The paper shows that perceptual decisions are influenced by dynamic memory retrieval and sensory evidence, with memory parameters adjusting based on trial-specific evidence.

The paper examines context-dependent choice in real-world settings using restaurant rating data, finding that valuations and choices are influenced by the context of available options.

This paper shows that high reward prediction errors (RPEs) enhance memory encoding and create event boundaries that disrupt sequential memory integration.

The paper shows that reminders of past choices influence reward-based decisions by biasing the use of individual past experiences over averaged rewards.

The paper shows that context retrieved during episodic sampling influences current choices beyond model-free RL predictions.
