AI Article Synopsis
- - The study used eye-tracking to examine how people make decisions about losses over time, comparing scenarios with and without time pressure.
- - Findings showed that time pressure led to quicker decisions and less selection of larger rewards in the future, indicating a change in decision-making strategy.
- - Analysis indicated that reduced attention and focus, measured by Mean Fixation Duration and Search Measure, contributed to more intuitive (heuristic) decision-making when under pressure.
Article Abstract
This study utilized eye-tracking techniques to investigate decision-making behavior in intertemporal loss scenarios under both time pressure and no time pressure conditions. Results revealed shorter decision-making times and decreased large later (LL) option selection frequency under time pressure. Participants under time pressure exhibited reduced Mean Fixation Duration (MFD) and Search Measure (SM) values, indicating altered information processing. Mediation analyses confirmed that task choice outcomes were influenced by SM and MFD, suggesting a shift towards heuristic decision-making under time pressure.
