- Class will meet in N423 Elliott Hall. Anxiety-Related Choice: Psychology, Neurobiology, and Clinical Relevance Over the past 30 years, decision science has made significant advances in understanding the mechanisms of choice and the underlying brain processes, but has done so almost exclusively for economic or reward-based decisions to the exclusion of anxiety-related choice. This is a significant omission given broad consensus that anxious reactivity is often a crucial factor motivating human choice. Furthermore, decision-making abnormalities are a core component of clinical anxiety whereby heightened anxiety motivates excessive decisions to avoid the source of threat at the cost of missed opportunities to pursue valued outcomes. Anxiety-related choice is thus critical to both basic decision science and clinical applications of this knowledge. This seminar surveys the fundamental concepts, methods, and psychobiological findings on reward-related choice with an eye toward applications to anxiety-related choice. Furthermore, we will review the existing literature on the basic psychological and neural mechanisms subserving anxiety-related choice and what goes awry with such mechanisms in the case of clinical anxiety. No enforced prerequisites, PSY 3001W or equivalent recommended. Meeting pattern is TBA and will be based on instructor & student availability. Class will meet 2 x week for 1 hr 15 min (2.5 hrs week).
