Human decision-making shows systematic simplifications and deviations from the tenets of
rationality ('heuristics') that may lead to suboptimal decisional outcomes ('cognitive biases') …

The ability to change initial decisions in the face of new or potentially conflicting information

The generation of new ideas and scientific hypotheses is often the result of extensive
literature and database searches, but, with the growing wealth of public and private …

Making optimal decisions in the face of noise requires balancing short-term speed and
accuracy. But a theory of optimality should account for the fact that short-term speed can …

Current theories of deliberative decision making suggest that deliberative decisions arise
from imagined simulations that require interactions between the prefrontal cortex and …

Because of its role in psychiatric disorders, frontal cortex and its contributions to reward …

Although the phenomenon of sunk costs is common in tourism situations, tourism research
