The following essay investigates how different weather factors may affect the process of decision making for a pilot,…

to making decisions, overconfidence is potentially the most harmful and persistent bias that we face. Chapter 2 of Bazerman and Moore’s Book (2013), Judgement in Managerial Decision Making, explains that although overconfidence can be good in some cases, it can also blur the decision making process. To make more effective decisions it is crucial that we understand our role in the decision making process and substantiate our judgements with evidence. Overconfidence can influence our decisions in…

This study included testing at different stages of sleep conditions in a 62 hour period.

Not only do the same genes get passed on from parent to offspring, but optimist theorists suggest that that the most favorable or, “optimal” genes are passed down. With this established, they believe in an “ optimizing selection…

Clinical decision-making is a complex and continuous process that includes dynamic interacting elements and critical thinking. This process involves both intuitive and analytic cognitive modes, which is defined in term of dual-process theory. Intuitive or non-analytical process relies on tacit knowledge and affection that depends on learners’ previous experience and pattern recognition (Marcum, 2012). It is an automatic response, low awareness less effort so it can be prone to error in decision…
