About the Author
Valerie F. Reyna, PhD, is director of the Human Neuroscience Institute at Cornell University and former president of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making, professor and codirector of the Center for Behavioral Economics and Decision Research at Cornell University, and codirector of the Cornell University Magnetic Resonance Imaging Facility.
She is a developer of fuzzy trace theory, a model of memory, decision making, and development that is widely applied in law, medicine, and public health. Her recent work has focused on numeracy, medical decision making, risk perception and risk taking, neurobiological models of development, and neurocognitive impairment and genetics.
Dr. Reyna has been a leader in using memory principles such as accessibility and mathematical models of memory to explain judgment and decision making. Among her theoretical proposals, she is particularly well known for a model of intuition that places it at the apex of judgment and decision making, rather than treating it as a developmentally primitive process. She also helped to initiate what is now a burgeoning area of research on developmental differences in judgment and decision making.
Her research supports an evidence-based explanation of neural and psychological processes of risk taking in adolescence and adulthood, which predicts real-world behaviors. The author of more than 75 publications that have been cited more than 8, times, Dr. Reyna is a fellow of numerous scientific societies and has served on scientific panels of the National Research Council, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the MacArthur Foundation, and the National Academy of Sciences.
Vivian Zayas, PhD, is an associate professor of psychology at Cornell University.
Her research examines the cognitive and affective processes involved in delay of gratification and the interplay between attachment and affiliative processes, on the one hand, and self-control processes, on the other, using theoretical frameworks and methods that cross traditionally defined boundaries between social and personality psychology and cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience and developmental psychology.
Her research has appeared in journals such as Psychological Science, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Child Development, Nature Neuroscience, and the Journal of Personality.
She has received funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
