Objective: We investigated how the order in which information is presented affects when a person decides to stop performing a task. Background: A stopping decision is a decision to stop performing a task on the basis of a sequence of cues. Previous order-effects models do not account for how these contexts limit available working memory for making such decisions. Method: Participants decided how long to perform a task known as the Work Hazard Game that began by rewarding points but later cost…

Survey of patients of the Tver region of Russia regarding maggots and maggot therapy
TLDR
Nearly 60% of subjects considered the images of maggots to be more repulsive than images of gangrenous wounds, which indicates that much education and support will need to be conducted to address patient fears and anxiety if patients are to be comfortable with a maggot therapy programme.

Information Order and Outcome Framing: An Assessment of Judgment Bias in a Naturalistic Decision-Making Context
TLDR
Using a simulation of state-of-the-art ship defensive systems operated by experienced, active-duty U.S. Navy officers, there is no evidence of a framing bias, while task load had a minor, but systematic effect, which is consistent with a judgment bias.
Demonstrating the effect of context on order effects for an army air defense task using the patriot simulator
The results reported herein support the hypotheses that (1) situation-specific, contextual features of a task can cause people to use explanation-based reasoning (Pennington and Hastie, 1993); (2)

Reasoning the fast and frugal way: models of bounded rationality.
TLDR
The authors have proposed a family of algorithms based on a simple psychological mechanism: one-reason decision making, and found that these fast and frugal algorithms violate fundamental tenets of classical rationality: they neither look up nor integrate all information.
Risk as Feelings
TLDR
It is shown that emotional reactions to risky situations often diverge from cognitive assessments of those risks, and when such divergence occurs, emotional reactions often drive behavior.
Task Workload and Cognitive Abilities in Dynamic Decision Making
TLDR
Investigation of workload during dynamic decision making in terms of its dependence on both task workload and cognitive abilities shows that high workload is more detrimental in individuals with low cognitive abilities than in Individuals with high cognitive abilities.
