Objectives
Different types of decision making descriptions and the implications for design
Heuristics and biases affecting decisions Levels of cognitive control describe qualitatively different
types of human performance Levels of cognitive control span many theories of DM
and can identify training and cognitive support strategies Skill-based processing and affect are key elements of
decision making

Decision making defined
Decision making defined as:• Select one choice from many• Some information available regarding choices• Time frame is relatively long (> 1 sec)• Uncertainty regarding best or acceptable choice
Builds upon basic cognitive mechanisms of: perception, working memory, attention and LTM

Decision making types
Intuitive • Quick• Automatic
Classical Decision Theory• Optimal, rational decision
determined through use of expected values
• Description of bias and heuristics that reflect human limits
Analytical • Slow• Deliberate, controlled
Naturalistic DM• Experienced people• Complex, dynamic
environments• Based on experiences and
mental simulations
![Page 5: Human information processing: Chapters 4-9](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ad6550346895da31676/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Expected utility calculations exampleExpected value of choice “v” equals the sum of the probabilities and values
E(v)= p(i)v(i)
For the most simple case of the lottery:
Purchase ticketp(winning)=1x10-7
v(winning) =1x106
E(ticket value-ticket cost)=0.10-1.0
Save money p(bank surviving)=1-1x10-7
v(with interest) =1.02E(money saved)=1.019999

Types of classical decision theory
Normative models• What people SHOULD do• Basis of computer aids• Basis for understanding
when people make rational decisions
• Basis for training
Descriptive models• What people ACTUALLY
do• Heuristics used/ Biases
that undermine performance
• Information processing model as a descriptive model of DM

Elements of decision process
Obtain and combine cues (selective attention) Generate hypotheses (LTM) Hypothesis evaluation and selection (working
memory) Action selection (working memory, LTM)

Factors influencing heuristics and biases
Selective attention Limited capacity of working memory Time available Limited attentional resources Limited knowledge (LTM) Ability to retrieve appropriate information (inert
knowledge)
![Page 10: Human information processing: Chapters 4-9](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ad6550346895da31676/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Which penny: Precise decisions with imprecise knowledge
![Page 11: Human information processing: Chapters 4-9](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ad6550346895da31676/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Heuristics and biases: Obtaining and selecting cues
Attention to limited number of cues (landing gear light fixation)
Cue primacy (first cues get greater weight) Inattention to later cues (ignore later cues) Cue salience Inappropriate weight to unreliable cues
![Page 12: Human information processing: Chapters 4-9](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ad6550346895da31676/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Heuristics and biases: Hypothesis generation
Limited number of hypotheses generated Availability heuristic (frequent, recent) Representative heuristic (take as typical of
category) Overconfidence
![Page 13: Human information processing: Chapters 4-9](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ad6550346895da31676/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Heuristics and biases: Hypothesis evaluation and selection
Cognitive fixation (continue along path, ignoring contrary information)
Confirmation bias• Seek only evidence to confirm NOT to disconfirm• Fail to use absence of important cues
![Page 14: Human information processing: Chapters 4-9](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ad6550346895da31676/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Heuristics and biases: Action selection
Retrieve small number of actions Availability heuristic for actions Availability heuristic for possible outcome
• Subjective probability does not equal actual
![Page 15: Human information processing: Chapters 4-9](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ad6550346895da31676/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Characteristics of naturalistic decision making situations
Ill-structured problems Uncertain high-risk environments Cognitive processing as an iterative
action/feedback loop Time constraints and time stress Multiple persons involved in decision People with extreme domain expertise

Cognitive continuum theory
Factors inducing Intuition:• Large number of cues• Brief display of cues• Complex relationship between cues• Short DM time• Analog display
Factors inducing Analysis:• Few cues • Long availability of cues• High consequence• Digital display

Recognition-primed decision making
Pattern matching used to recognize situation Recognition “primes” the selection of a plausible
solution Action selected without comparison with alternates Action evaluated through simulation using a
mental model Particularly effective in time-constrained situations 40-80% based on condition-action rules
![Page 30: Human information processing: Chapters 4-9](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ad6550346895da31676/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Training
Train analytic methods, has proven marginally successful
Train better metacognition (e.g., manage time pressure), has proven marginally successful
Focus on job-relevant knowledge and procedures Train skill-based with actual cues Cognitive feedback rather than performance
feedback

Decision aids
Fallacy of “expert” systems • No basis for evaluation of the input• Output mistrusted• “Joint cognitive breakdowns” due to unanticipated
complexity Cognitive support
• Interactive system that improves DM by extending user’s capabilities
• Tool rather than prosthesis
