TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - On second thoughts: changes of mind in decision-making JO - Trends in cognitive sciences A1 - Stone, Caleb A1 - Mattingley, Jason B. A1 - Rangelov, Dragan SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - The ability to change initial decisions in the face of new or potentially conflicting information is fundamental to adaptive behavior. From perceptual tasks to multiple-choice tests, research has shown that changes of mind often improve task performance by correcting initial errors. Decision makers must, however, strike a balance between improvements that might arise from changes of mind and potential energetic, temporal, and psychological costs. In this review, we provide an overview of the change-of-mind literature, focusing on key behavioral findings, computational mechanisms, and neural correlates. We propose a conceptual framework that comprises two core decision dimensions - time and evidence source - which link changes of mind across decision contexts, as a first step toward an integrated psychological account of changes of mind.
