Introduction
The state of having incomplete or ambiguous information about outcomes, making it difficult to predict future events or decisions with confidence.
What is uncertainty?
The type of task used in experiments 1, 2, and 4
What is “Circle Quest task”?
When there was no uncertainty, the interaction between ALE and reward was ____.
What is non-significant?
The authors stated that a limitation of Experiment 4 was having a _____ sample size.
What is small?
This brain region is implicated in decision-making under uncertainty.
What is the hippocampus?
This is how reward was represented in Experiment 3, where effort was a main factor.
What are apples?
The more _______ participants collect, the less uncertain they are about the hidden target's location.
What are samples?
This was the overall conclusion of the study: the hippocampus played a crucial role in _______.
What is decision-making?
This is what ALE stands for.
What is autoimmune limbic encephalitis?
The number of ALE participants in Experiment 4.
What is 8?
Severity of hippocampal atrophy correlates with ______ reward sensitivity under uncertainty.
What is decreased?
According to the authors, the present study lacked objective measures of _____.
What is value processing?
What is autoimmune limbic encephalitis?
What is ‘mental time travel’?
This imaging technique was used to assess hippocampal volume and atrophy in patients with autoimmune limbic encephalitis.
This imaging technique was used to assess hippocampal volume and atrophy in patients with autoimmune limbic encephalitis.
This refers to the cost of obtaining clues. ALE participants were less sensitive to this, leading them to be quicker to ask for clues.
What is sampling cost?
The hippocampus seems to have a pivotal role in ________ decision processes that particularly involve episodic future thinking.
What is inter-temporal?
Three well-known functions of the hippocampus.
What are memory, imagination, and associative inference?
This type of analysis was used to compare hippocampal volume between patients and controls, assessing the relationship between brain structure and decision-making performance.
Voxel-based morphometry (VBM)
Individual's responsiveness to changes in the value of potential rewards.
What is reward sensitivity?
The authors suggested this method as a way to obtain more objective measures of value processing.
What is pupillometry?
