How Awareness Changes the Relative Weights of Evidence During Human Decision-Making

How Awareness Changes the Relative Weights of Evidence During Human Decision-Making

Human decisions are based on accumulating evidence over time for different options. Here we ask a simple question: How is the accumulation of evidence affected by the level of awareness of the information? We examined the influence of awareness on decision-making using combined behavioral methods and magneto-encephalography (MEG). Participants were required to make decisions by accumulating evi...

The Use of Evidence by Decision-Making Committees

Common weights for the evaluation of decision-making units with nonlinear virtual inputs and outputs

In this paper, by investigating the common weights concept and DEA models with nonlinear virtual inputs/outputs, we introduce a model for evaluating the decision making units with nonlinear virtual inputs and outputs based on the common weights.

Decision Making: How the Brain Weighs the Evidence

The brain has to weigh incoming sensory evidence against prior beliefs, the relative weight given to each depending on the relative uncertainties. Neuroscience now shows how the human brain accomplishes this.

On Shared Situation Awareness for Supporting Human Decision-Making Teams

One of the challenging issues in homeland security area is the early detection and successful processing of potential terrorist threats, which demands effective team collaboration. In this research we investigate the way of incorporating naturalistic decision making models for supporting distributed team decision making. By extending Klein’s Recognition-Primed Decision model, we propose a Colla...
