Abstract:
Humans have a drive to maximize knowledge of the world, yet decision making data also suggest a contrary drive to minimize cognitive effort using simplifying heuristics. The trade-off between maximizing knowledge and minimizing effort is modeled by simulation of a challenging decision task. The task is to choose which of two gambles has the highest probability of success when the alternative with higher success probability also has lower success frequency.
