Decision making in real life

Smog, Cognition and Real-World Decision-Making

Cognitive functioning is critical as in our daily life a host of real-world complex decisions in high-stakes markets have to be made. The decision-making process can be vulnerable to environmental stressors. Summarizing the growing economic and epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution, cognition performance and real-world decision-making, we first illustrate key physiological and psychologi...

Competence and Quality in Real-Life Decision Making

What distinguishes a competent decision maker and how should the issue of decision quality be approached in a real-life context? These questions were explored in three studies. In Study 1, using a web-based questionnaire and targeting a community sample, we investigated the relationships between objective and subjective indicators of real-life decision-making success. In Study 2 and 3, targetin...

Decision Making in Uncertain Real-World Domains

DTGolog, a decision-theoretic agent programming language based on the situation calculus, was proposed to ease some of the computational difficulties associated with Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) by using natural ordering constraints on execution of actions. Using DTGolog, domain specific constraints on a set of policies can be expressed in a high-level program to reduce significantly comput...
