Preferred term

perceptual decision making  

Definition(s)

  • One can define perceptual decision making (PDM) as a categorical choice based on sensory information. For example, did you just hear an airplane flying by or was it a helicopter? PDM can be contrasted with economic, emotional, reward-based, or value-based decision making, in which the decision is driven by the desirability of an option.
