Analogical Decision Making
Abstract
The overall goal of this research program is to develop a descriptive model of decision making that can be applied to tactical and strategic decision making domains. We wish to explore variables such as time pressure, risk, and levels of expertise as they affect the use of decision strategies and situational assessment. We also want to contrast analytical and recognitional models of decision making. Year 1 was devoted to field studies and knowledge elicitation interviews with decision makers including urban fire ground commanders, wildfire incident commanders, and Army Armored Division platoon leaders. In addition a study we performed comparing the quality of chess moves under speeded and non-speeded conditions served as an analogue for real-world strategic and tactical decisions. All of these studies allow a comparison of the decision making at higher and lower-levels of expertise. These studies were designed to test the generality of a Recognition-Primed Decision model as a function of different domains, varying experience levels to group decision settings and varying levels of time pressure.
