Summary: Concerns have been raised about the inclusion of cost attribute in healthcare choice experiments when individuals do not have to pay. This study used eye-tracking technology to examine attention to cost in valuing publicly financed health care. The findings suggest that most individuals pay attention to cost and its inclusion does not increase mental effort but facilitates more structured decision-making.

Summary: This paper proposes a model that describes how fluctuations in attention to choice set features impacts decision-making. Two laboratory studies found that only 80% of an unattended attribute's value and 60% of an unattended option's value were integrated in the evidence accumulation process. Additionally, attentional bias identified here causally affects decisions and has implications for understanding multiattribute choice.

Summary: This study compared eye-tracking data obtained in real-life and virtual settings, finding that the selected food items in the virtual setting were looked at for a longer duration, indicating a differential relationship between data from these two settings. However, dwell time is insufficient to fully capture the complex cognitive processes underlying real-life food choices, with non-significant differences in dwell time for selected versus unselected foods.

Summary: Informative food labels can help increase nutritional awareness, and PACE labeling is one approach to achieve this goal. In a simulated purchase situation, it was observed that healthier products attracted more visual attention and led to healthier food choices, especially for participants with little involvement in physical activity and health behavior.

Summary: This study used eye-tracking technology to investigate attention bias in schizophrenia patients during social information processing. The findings suggest that patients with schizophrenia exhibit altered attention bias towards pictures of communicating individuals, with male patients showing significantly lower attention ratio than male controls. Moreover, the study also found that attention bias is correlated with symptom severity in both male and female patients.

Summary: This study uses eye-tracking experimentation to explore the role of contextual information in Chinese metonymy processing. The results show that readers take longer to arrive at a literal interpretation than at a metonymic one when the logical relationship between the preceding contextual information and the target word is weak. Additionally, both the preceding and the spillover contextual information contribute to metonymy processing, especially when the spillover information does more to the metonymy than it does to the literal meaning.

Summary: The study suggests that individuals aggregate information into meta-attributes and adopt different decision rules in multi-attribute choices. Individuals with homogeneous attribute information, shorter response times, and who fail the dominance test are more likely to adopt attribute aggregation. Considering attribute aggregation has significant implications for welfare estimates.

Summary: This study conducts a discrete choice experiment to estimate turfgrass producers' willingness to accept (WTA) values using different logit models and specifications to capture respondents' attention. The study finds that marginal WTA values are biased when individuals' attention changes are not properly accounted for in the model specification. Additionally, testing six alternative model specifications reveals that attention changes cannot be fully captured in the absence of eye tracking data.

Summary: The study reviews the current implementations of mock website experiments in selective exposure research, proposes a procedure to conduct mock website experiments that addresses methodological shortcomings, and demonstrates an application of the procedure in a study on selective exposure to search engine content.

Summary: The use of technological resources, such as eye tracking methodology, has provided important tools for cognitive researchers to better understand the learning process. This study aimed to analyze the results obtained with eye tracking methodology through statistical tests and supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques, finding differences in eye movements parameters and learning profiles of participants. Both types of data analysis, statistical and machine learning, are considered complementary for a comprehensive understanding of the learning process.

Summary: The study used eye-tracking and ERP experiments to investigate how the language processing system handles formulaic language such as idioms. The results suggest that participants showed early decompositional processing of idioms and facilitated processing of correct completions across various regions of interest and time windows.

Summary: The study found that impulsive decisions often prioritize smaller but sooner rewards compared to larger but later rewards, and the contribution of neural activity and attention to choice alternatives to reward decisions is not yet clear.

Summary: This study examined the effect of incentives on intertemporal choice using an eye-tracking experiment and measured participants' decision confidence. The results showed that incentives did not affect intertemporal choice in the gain domain, but in the loss domain, participants in the incentivized group were more likely to choose the larger-later options. Furthermore, the decision confidence and mean fixation duration differed between the incentivized and non-incentivized groups in both gain and loss domains.

Summary: Standard models assume that subjective value is associated with each option, regardless of whether it is inferred from experience or explicitly instructed. However, this study challenges the assumption of unified representation of experiential and symbolic value. Through nine experiments, participants' choices showed a systematic neglect of experiential values. This normatively irrational decision strategy persisted even when alternative explanations were considered and had an economic cost. Overall, these findings challenge the dominant models commonly used in value-based decision-making research.

Summary: Playing ethnic music in restaurants enhances consumer experience. Research shows that the ethnic congruence of music and food influences food selection but not customer liking. An eye-tracking study with 104 participants reveals the impact of ethnic music on choosing ethnic foods. Results indicate that visual attention decreases with any background music, but the highest attention is recorded during Spanish music. Similarly, the most visual attention and food choice frequency are observed for Spanish dishes. Aggregating music and dishes from different cultures enhances congruent choices. Additionally, the prediction models perform significantly better with the presence of ethnic music, indicating that music aids in faster decision making.
