Neuropsychological correlates of risky decisions: What is the role of working memory?
Abstract
Previous studies have shown the special importance of executive functions for making advantageous decisions in risky situations. of advantageous decisions in risky situations, measured by means of e.g. gambling tasks. This is in line with the neuropsychological model of decision-making behavior under risk conditions under risk conditions by Brand et al. (2006). Also assumed in the model is, that working memory skills play an important role in risk decisions, although this has not been demonstrated in previous work. The investigation of the hypothesized relationship between working memory and making advantageous decisions in a gambling task (Game of Dice Task, GDT, Brand et. al, 2005) is the subject of the present study.
