Understanding animal decision-making involves simultaneously dissecting and reconstructing processes across levels of biological organization, such as behavior, physiology, and brain function, as well as considering the environment in which decisions are made. Over the past few decades, foundational breakthroughs originating from a variety of model systems and disciplines have painted an increasingly comprehensive picture of how individuals sense information, process it, and subsequently modify behavior or states. Still, our understanding of decision-making in social contexts is far from complete and requires integrating novel approaches and perspectives. The fields of social neuroscience and cognitive ecology have approached social decision-making from orthogonal perspectives. The integration of these perspectives (and fields) is critical in developing comprehensive and testable theories of the brain.

社会世界中的决策：整合认知生态学和社会神经科学。

了解动物决策涉及同时剖析和重建跨生物组织水平的过程，例如行为、生理和大脑功能，以及考虑做出决策的环境。在过去的几十年里，源自各种模型系统和学科的基础性突破描绘了一幅越来越全面的关于个人如何感知信息、处理信息以及随后修改行为或状态的图景。尽管如此，我们对社会背景下决策的理解还远未完成，需要整合新的方法和观点。社会神经科学和认知生态学领域已经从正交的角度处理社会决策。
