Making Naturalistic Decision Making “Fast and Frugal”
نویسنده
چکیده
The Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) addresses how human decision makers can deal with constraints of time and information. In general, NDM theories are consistent with expert decision making but tend to be very general, referring to broad categories of cognitive processes such as recognition, pattern matching, and mental simulation, without explaining exactly how these processes are performed. The fast and frugal heuristic approach offers a computationally rigorous framework in which to explore specific decision making processes and environmental constraints. A synthesis of NDM and fast and frugal heuristic approaches is proposed as a research framework that will allow clear and precise hypotheses to be tested and serve as bases for development of support tools.

Empirical tests of a fast-and-frugal heuristic: Not everyone. ''takes-the-best''
The fast-and-frugal heuristics approach to decision making under uncertainty advocated by Gigerenzer and colleagues (e.g., Gigerenzer & Goldstein, 1996) has achieved great popularity despite a relative lack of empirical validation. We report two experiments that examine the use of one particular heuristic—‘‘take-the-best’’ (TTB). In both experiments the majority of participants adopted frugal s...
متن کاملPsychological plausibility of the theory of probabilistic mental models and the fast and frugal heuristics.
The theory of probabilistic mental models (PMM; G. Gigerenzer, U. Hoffrage, & H. Kleinbölting, 1991) has had a major influence on the field of judgment and decision making, with the most recent important modifications to PMM theory being the identification of several fast and frugal heuristics (G. Gigerenzer & D. G. Goldstein, 1996). These heuristics were purported to provide psychologically pl...
متن کاملNaive and yet Enlightened: From Natural Frequencies to Fast and Frugal Decision Trees
An evolutionary view of rationality as an adaptive toolbox of fast and frugal heuristics is sometimes placed in opposition to probability as the ideal of enlightened rational human inference. Indeed, this opposition has become the cornerstone of an ongoing debate between adherents to theories of normative as opposed to bounded rationality. On the one hand, it has been shown that probability pro...
متن کاملUsing Cognitive Decision Models to Prioritize E-mails
E-mail prioritization involves placing all of the ‘useful’ or ‘good’ unread e-mails at the top of the inbox, and all of the bad ones at the bottom. We use two cognitive decision models—a rational model, which considers all of the available information, and a fast and frugal model that uses one reason decision making— to prioritize e-mails. Experimental results, using real data obtained by unobt...
متن کاملConstruction of Probabilistic Inferences by Constraint Satisfaction
It has been shown that in decision making evaluations of evidence and attributes are modified. In three studies it was investigated if this finding of coherence shifts generalizes to real-world probabilistic inference decisions which are made from given probabilistic cues. Using a within-subjects design, cue validities were measured before, after (Exp. 1) and during decision making (Exp. 2 & 3)...
