title: An addition to Kurzban et al.'s model: thoroughness of cost-benefit analyses depends on the executive tasks at hand.
abstract: Though Kurzban et al.'s model explains a considerable set of empirical findings, it cannot accommodate other results without relying on extra assumptions. We offer an addition to the model, and suggest that cost-benefit analyses themselves depend on executive function, and therefore can be biased. The adapted model allows for explaining depletion effects, as well as their reversals, documented in the literature.
