Optimizing decision-making by delaying decision onset

Humans Optimize Decision-Making by Delaying Decision Onset

Why do humans make errors on seemingly trivial perceptual decisions? It has been shown that such errors occur in part because the decision process (evidence accumulation) is initiated before selective attention has isolated the relevant sensory information from salient distractors. Nevertheless, it is typically assumed that subjects increase accuracy by prolonging the decision process rather th...

Lung Cancer Treatment Decision-Making by Descriptive Decision-Making Framework

The need of shared decision-making has been discussed by researchers since last few decades and is being practiced in several fields. Medical field is also experiencing its consequent positive impact. Keeping this ongoing trend in mind, this paper proposes a theory-based approach of descriptive decision-making (DM) under the realm of uncertainty along with its application to DM of treatment alt...

Decision-making by Children

Moving beyond previous economic models that treat children as goods consumed by adults, we develop a noncooperative model of parental control of child behavior and child resistance. Using child reports of decision-making and psychological and cognitive measures from the NLSY79 Child Supplement...
