Emotional predictions and choice

Bernard Balleine

Nature Human Behaviour

October 2021

Abstract

Predicted values and feedback from errors in those predictions are fundamental to adaptive decision-making. Heffner et al. directly compare the contributions of reward predictions and emotional predictions to social decisions and find, unexpectedly, that emotional predictions are often the more important determinant of choice.
