In this new eye-tracking-study, we could replicate our previous findings that better remembered options were chosen, even when they were comparatively unattractive, a phenomenon we refer to as “memory bias”. In addition, we found that decisions that require the retrieval of relevant information from memory are influenced by attention even more than conventional decisions. Finally, we adopt and expand a recently proposed computational model to provide a comprehensive description of the role of attention in memory-based decisions. The paper titled „The influence of visual attention on memory-based preferential choice“ was published in the journal Cognition. Link
