Decision Making Under Acute Stress Modeled by an Adaptive Temporal–Causal Network Model

Abstract

The influence of acute severe stress or extreme emotion based on a Network-Oriented modeling methodology has been addressed here. Adaptive temporal causal network model is an approach to address the phenomena with complexity which cannot be or hard to be explained in a real-world experiment. In the first phase, the suppression of the existing network connections as a consequence of the acute stress modeled and in the second phase relaxing the suppression by giving some time and starting a new learning of the decision making in accordance to presence of stress starts again.
