How do people process distinct input signals and make complex choices? Researchers have sought to discard increased light on the inner workings of the human brain and how different inputs are processed by individuals and make complicated choices. The topic is of particular interest to supervisors.
This article reviews an array of recent articles from academic journals. The researchers examined the following topics associated with decision making: --How "psychological distancing"can mitigate the negative effects of information overload; --How greater ambidexterity -- the capability to switch between practices supporting "exploitation"of familiar options and "exploration"of new ones -- can result in better decision making functionality; --How good-designed choice default rules may result in desired results; --How permitting one's thoughts to drift can lead to as much satisfaction with one's alternatives as managed systems; --How seeking guidance influences understandings about competence; --And how folks are inclined to overemphasize past performance in creating expectations for the future.
