DECISION MAKING
:CHOOSING AMONG OPTIONS
Judgment and reasoning allow us
to expand our knowledge in important ways—when, for example, we draw some new
conclusion from our experiences, or when we deduce a novel claim from our other
beliefs. A third type of thinking, in contrast, is more closely tied to our actions. This is the thinking involved
in decision making
We make decisions all the
time—some trivial (which brand of toilet paper should you buy?) and some deeply
important (should you get that surgery, or not?). Some deci-sions get made over
and over (should you go back to that Mexican restaurant one more time?) and
some are made just once (should you get a job when you finish school, or seek
out some further education?). Researchers have proposed, however, that all of
these decisions get made in same way, with the same sort of processes, and so
we obvi-ously need to take a close look at what those processes involve.
