Abstract
The research project «Adapted heuristics and architecture: towards an understanding of personalities and phenotypic diversity» has studieed how animals make choices, especially how hormonal systems, emotions, and brain processes help individuals make decisions which lead to growth, survival, and in the long run to offspring. The goal has been to understand how decision architectures emerged and can evolve by natural selection. The research has focused on cognitive and hormonal aspects of this architecture.
