No próximo dia 3 de novembro às 12h30 na Sala de Atos do Ispa, o investigator Marco Vasconcelos vai dar uma palestra com o título Making sense of animal misbehavior: The case of suboptimal choice.

Abstract:

We use irrational decisions as tools to understand the mechanisms that regulate behavior. On the one hand, they expose the shortcomings of our theories; on the other, they reveal situations wherein evolved psychological mechanisms backfire and thus allow us to study them in detail. The case of suboptimal choice is used to highlight how we can reconcile oddity with theory and ultimately increase our knowledge of basic learning processes.

Speaker:

Marco Vasconcelos, William James Center for Research / Univesity of Aveiro
