Value is a central concept in the field of Economics: rational decision-makers are said to make choices that maximize value. The subjective value of options has generally been shown to predict choice, such that when making a decision, individuals consistently select the more highly valued option, yet how value is discerned from the multitude of attributes that characterize options remains unclear. Recent work has indicated that individual attributes are processed by distinct brain circuits, and that these processes may be happening on different time courses, potentially leading to more basic or easily processed attributes having a disproportionate influence on decision-making. The work presented in this thesis aims to shed light on the way ...
