We conduct a lottery experiment to assess the predictive importance of simple choice process metrics (SCPMs) in … modeling approaches. The SCPMs are recorded during a fixed pre-decision phase and are derived from tracking subjects' eye … subject-specific risk preferences and is largely driven by including information on lottery design variables. As a key result …
