Approach-Induced Biases in Human Information Sampling. by Laurence T Hunt, Robb B Rutledge, W M Nishantha Malalasekera, Steven W Kennerley, Raymond J Dolan

“…We identified three novel approach-related biases, formalized by comparing subject behavior to a dynamic programming model of optimal information gathering. These biases reflected the amount of information sampled ("positive evidence approach"), the selection of which information to sample ("sampling the favorite"), and the interaction between information sampling and subsequent choices ("rejecting unsampled options"). …”
