Research Type Experimental Our analysis and simulations of two-armed bandit tasks present that the task domain (underlying outcome distributions) and framing (reference point selection) influence experienced utilities and in turn, the subjective discriminability of choices under uncertainty. Experiments demonstrate that subjective discriminability improves on objective discriminability by the use of the experienced-utility function with appropriate framing for a given task domain, and that bigger subjective discriminability leads to more optimal decisions in learning under uncertainty.

Experiment Setup Yes Subplots (a), (b) and (c) in Figure 4 show the simulation results on how the reference point selection (framing) influences subjective discriminability on different domains... for a decision maker employing a subjective value function (experienced-utility (EU)) function with shape parameters a = 0.8, b = 0.5, λ = 2.5.
