Engineering design is a systematic process of identifying needs and their translation into functional systems. This is a cyclic process that alternates between the acquisition of data and the synthesis of said data to inform design decisions. Conventionally, data from physical experiments are used to explore the efficacy of alternative...
Decision making is an essential and indispensable element in everyday life. It is posited that parallel, distinct systems subserving deliberative, goal-directed control and automatic, habitual control underlie decision making. Computational accounts suggest that model-based and model-free learning strategies give rise to these two systems respectively. The model-based system is a...
