Researchers have found that when people make decisions, they tend to use cognitive biases, heuristics (mental “shortcuts”), critical-thinking errors, and cognitive illusions. Decision making can be influenced by the situation, or by the characteristics of the person making the decision. Reflect on a decision you are currently considering in your own life. What heuristics or cognitive biases might influence your decision-making process? Are there other factors that might play a role, such as a situation or a personality trait? How could you avoid some of the typical critical-thinking errors that people commit when making decisions? How might the knowledge that you have accumulated from this class improve your decision-making process?
