چکیده
The study of judgment and decision making (JDM) is traditionally concerned with the comparison of judgments to standards, standards that allow evaluation of the judgments as better or worse.

We argue that such approaches provide little insight into the cognitive processes which govern human decision making. The dominance of normative theories cannot be accounted for by the intractability of processing models. In support of this ...
