Metacognitive Prompting Aids Dynamic Decision-Making

چکیده
Recent research suggests that incubation is superior to metacognition in tasks involving many decision alternatives (Dijksterhuis et al., 2006). One explanation for these findings is the limited information processing capacity of working memory. The current study further investigates this topic by using more complex tasks as many errors in Dynamic Decision-Making (DDM) are thought to be related to limited processing. Our results indicate that metacognitive prompting results in better performance in DDM over incubation via a better strategy selection. Results are explained referring to methodological reasons and to literature on metacognition. In addition to the theoretical relevance, findings may be relevant for training programs using DDM simulations.

Diagnostic classification is an important part of clinical care, which is often the main determinant of treatment and prognosis. Clinicians underor over-confidence in their performance on diagnostic tasks can result in diagnostic errors which can lead to delay in appropriate treatment and unnecessary increase in the cost of medical care.

متن کاملTraining for Complex Decision-Making: A Test of Instruction Based on the Recognition / Metacognition Model
A model of decision making is proposed that integrates recognitional and metacognitive processes. The metacognitive functions supplement recognitional skills in situations in which events are novel or the meaning of events is unclear for other reasons. Such situations are common in military settings, such as Naval anti-air warfare, where it is often the case that stakes are high, time is short,...

متن کاملWhat Do Physicians Believe About the Way Decisions Are Made? A Pilot Study on Metacognitive Knowledge in the Medical Context
Metacognition relative to medical decision making has been poorly investigated to date. However, beliefs about methods of decision making (metacognition) play a fundamental role in determining the efficiency of the decision itself. In the present study, we investigated a set of beliefs that physicians develop in relation to the modes of making decisions in a professional environment. The Solomo...
