Choice is an integral component of adaptive behaviour in humans and other living organisms. In this seminar-style course, we discuss rational choice, as well as deviations from rationality that can bias decisions. We focus on psychological and economic theories of choice, but we also consider choice from biological, philosophical, and neuroscientific perspectives.
