How do people make investment decisions when they receive outcome feedback? We examinedhow well the standard mean … risk and covariance of the investments into account. The experimental results illustrate thatpeople reacted sensitively to … different correlation structures of the investment alternatives, whichwas best predicted by the extended reinforcement model …
