The idea that evidence accumulation is the only crucial factor for decision making has been recently challenged. Even during simple visual tasks, both impulsivity/prudence and working memory (WM) may also play a crucial role in its dynamics. We wanted to investigate how a wide range of sequences of visual evidence and the presence of a time gap (located in between such sequences) would interact with participants’ impulsivity (measured with a personality scale) to bias WM and/or the prioritization of speed over accuracy. 34 human adults (65% females, aged 18-48) performed a version of the token
