Researchers have developed a new computational model called Risk-sensitive Satisficing (RS) that explains how goal-directed behavior can occur even when targets are not met. This model, also framed as Attention Competitive Bayes (ACB), suggests that unattained goals act as a prior mean, influencing action selection alongside limited attentional resources. The model predicts a phenomenon termed 'pseudo-forgetting,' where estimates for unselected actions drift towards the aspiration level without explicit data decay, and demonstrates that adjusting unattainable aspirations can reduce regret in decision-making.
