Figure 1. Outline of the ÒDecision Field TheoryÓ dynamical model of decision-making processes (Busemeyer & Townsend, 1993). The decision-making process begins (far left) with a set of possible gains and losses (M), filtered by attentional weights (W) to form the valence (momentary anticipated value, V) of an action. The decision system temporally integrates the valences to produce a preference state for each action (P). The preferences drive a motor system producing an observed action.
