Decision Making & The Brain
Prefrontal lobe is involved in judging risks and anticipating consequences of behaviours
- People with prefrontal lobe damage make riskier decisions than people without damage
- Post-decision emotional reaction is the same in people with damage, but they don't show anticipatory responses that help us judge what is and isn't risky
Practice: Decision Making & The Brain
Peter had a stroke which affected his prefrontal cortex. Which of these behaviours is likely to result from that damage?
