_Goal-Directed Decision Making: Computations and Neural Circuits_
examines the role of goal-directed choice. It begins with an
examination of the computations performed by associated circuits, but
then moves on to in-depth examinations on how goal-directed learning
interacts with other forms of choice and response selection. This is
the only book that embraces the multidisciplinary nature of this area
of decision-making, integrating our knowledge of goal-directed
decision-making from basic, computational, clinical, and ethology
research into a single resource that is invaluable for
neuroscientists, psychologists and computer scientists alike.
The book presents discussions on the broader field of decision-making
and how it has expanded to incorporate ideas related to flexible
behaviors, such as cognitive control, economic choice, and Bayesian
inference, as well as the influences that motivation, context and cues
have on behavior and decision-making.
* Details the neural circuits functionally involved in goal-directed
decision-making and the computations these circuits perform
* Discusses changes in goal-directed decision-making spurred by
development and disorders, and within real-world applications,
including social contexts and addiction
* Synthesizes neuroscience, psychology and computer science research
to offer a unique perspective on the central and emerging issues in
goal-directed decision-making
