DESCRIPTION:Whether the decision is to have unprotected sex\, save or spend
 \, consent to surgery\, or have an extra helping of dessert\, risky decisi
 ons permeate our lives\, sometimes with disastrous consequences. How and w
 hy risk taking occurs has important implications\, yet we have many unansw
 ered questions about what influences risky behavior. The new book The Neur
 oscience of Risky Decision Making (American Psychological Association\, Ja
 n. 2014) aims to help us understand the neural roots of bad decisions and 
 paves the way for translation of science into practice and policy.\n\nJoin
  us for a Chats in the Stacks book talk with Dr. Valerie F. Reyna\, profes
 sor of human development\, director of the Human Neuroscience Institute in
  the College of Human Ecology and co-director of the Cornell MRI Facility.
  She is a developer of fuzzy trace theory\, a model of memory\, decision m
 aking\, and development that is widely applied in law\, medicine\, and pub
 lic health. The book\, edited by Reyna and Vivian Zayas\, associate profes
 sor of psychology at Cornell\, will transform the next phase of research i
 n the field and inform policy and practice innovations that can save lives
  and improve health.\n\nLight refreshments will be available throughout th
 e event\, and books will be available for purchase and signing.
