Dissertation: An investigation of the effects of reward and metabolic cost on movement vigor
Published in CU Boulder, 2021
Nearly every movement we make reflects a decision. This decision likely involves a trade-off between maximizing reward and minimizing effort. How fast we move, vigor, can reveal how we value reward and effort when making movement decisions. The goal of this dissertation is to gain further insight into how reward and effort affect movement vigor, and how we can use computational models of effort to improve predictions of movement effort.
