Biased confabulation in risky choice (2022)
Journal Article
Mason, A., Madan, C. R., Simonsen, N., Spetch, M. L., & Ludvig, E. A. (2022). Biased confabulation in risky choice. Cognition, 229, Article 105245. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2022.105245

When people make risky decisions based on past experience, they must rely on memory. The nature of the memory representations that support these decisions is not yet well understood. A key question concerns the extent to which people recall specific... Read More about Biased confabulation in risky choice.
