The association between experience-based risky choice and mathematical ability.

Mathematical ability has always been considered an important influencing factor in description-based risky choices. Experience-based risky choices, which occur frequently in daily life, are very different from description-based risky choices. The association between experience-based risky choice and mathematical ability remains unknown. This study adopts the feedback paradigm for experience-based risky choice to explore the association between multiple mathematical abilities and experience-based risky choice. The results show that, in experience-based risky choice, mathematical ability did not influence the decision to pursue higher expected value, but it did influence preference for risky. Thus, our study contributes to a more comprehensive view of mathematical ability and risky choice.
