In recent years, several authors have called to ground descriptive and normative decision theory on neuropsychological measures of utility. In this article, I combine insights from the best available neuropsychological findings, leading philosophical conceptions of welfare, and contemporary decision theory to rebut these prominent calls. I argue for two claims of general interest to philosophers, choice modelers and policy makers. First, severe conceptual, epistemic, and evidential problems plague ongoing attempts to develop accurate and reliable neuropsychological measures of utility. Second, even if these problems are solved, neuropsychological measures of utility lack the potential to directly inform welfare analyses and policy evaluations.

近年来，几位作者呼吁将描述性和规范性决策理论建立在效用的神经心理学测量上。在这篇文章中，我结合了来自最佳可用神经心理学发现、领先的福利哲学概念和当代决策理论的见解，以反驳这些突出的呼吁。我支持哲学家、选择建模者和政策制定者普遍感兴趣的两种主张。首先，严重的概念、认知和证据问题困扰着正在进行的开发准确可靠的效用神经心理学测量的尝试。其次，即使这些问题得到解决，效用的神经心理学测量也缺乏直接为福利分析和政策评估提供信息的潜力。
