Temporal trade-offs in psychophysics

Highlights • The simplicity of psychophysical measurements belies underlying behavioral complexity. • This complexity includes rational trade-offs in using time to process information. • Temporal windows on past information govern a change-stability trade-off. • Temporal windows on incoming informat...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The simplicity of psychophysical measurements belies underlying behavioral complexity. • This complexity includes rational trade-offs in using time to process information. • Temporal windows on past information govern a change-stability trade-off. • Temporal windows on incoming information govern a speed-accuracy trade-off. • Temporal windows on future expectations and goals govern an explore-exploit trade-off.
