AbstractWhen selecting actions in response to noisy sensory stimuli, the brain can exploit prior knowledge of time constraints, stimulus discriminability and stimulus probability to hone the decision process. Although behavioral models typically explain such effects through adjustments to decision criteria only, the full range of underlying neural process adjustments remains to be established. Here, we draw on human neurophysiological signals reflecting decision formation to construct and constrain a multi-tiered model of prior-informed motion discrimination, in which a motor-independent representation of cumulative evidence feeds build-to-threshold motor signals that receive additional dynamic urgency and bias signal components. The neurally-informed model not only provides a superior quantitative fit to prior-biased behavior across three distinct task regimes (easy, time-pressured and weak evidence), but also reveals adjustments to evidence accumulation rate, urgency rate, and the timing of accumulation onset and motor execution which go undetected or are discrepant in more standard diffusion-model analysis of behavior.

Gender differences are one of the main topics in mental rotation research. This paper focuses on the influence of the performance factor task complexity by using two versions of the Mental Rotations Test (MRT). Some 300 participants completed the test without time constraints, either in the regular version or with a complexity reducing template creating successive two-alternative forced-choice tasks. Results showed that the complexity manipulation did not affect the gender differences at all. These results were supported by a sufficient power to detect medium effects. Although performance factors seem to play a role in solving mental rotation problems, we conclude that the variation of task complexity as realized in the present study did not.

Left/right “fixed” responses to arrow targets are influenced by whether a masked arrow prime is congruent or incongruent with the required target response. Left/right “free-choice” responses on trials with ambiguous targets that are mixed among fixed trials are also influenced by masked arrow primes. We show that the magnitude of masked priming of both fixed and free-choice responses is greater when the proportion of fixed trials with congruent primes is .8 rather than .2. Unconscious manipulation of context can thus influence both fixed and free choices. Sequential trial analyses revealed that these effects of the overall prime context on fixed and free-choice priming can be modulated by the local context (i.e., the nature of the previous trial). Our results support accounts of masked priming that posit a memory-recruitment, activation, or decision process that is sensitive to aspects of both the local and global context.

The Impact

The reporting of comprehensive income is becoming increasingly important. After the introduction of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) reporting, as required by the 2007 IAS 1-revised, the IASB is currently seeking inputs from investors on the usefulness of unrealized gains and losses and on the role of comprehensive income. This circumstance is of particular relevance in code law countries, as local pre-IFRS accounting models influence financial statement preparers and users. This study aims at investigating the role played by unrealized gains and losses reporting on users' decision process, by examining the impact of OCI on the Italian listed companies RoE ratio and by surveying a sample of financial analysts, also content analysing their formal reports. The results show that the reporting of comprehensive income does not affect the financial statement users' decision process, although it statistically affects Italian listed entities' performance.
