Study Notes

Decision Making Theories and Approaches

The decision maker is expected to be rational, informed, and sensitive, and their actions involve recognizing and describing the problem space, analyzing options, and choosing the optimal solution.
Subjective Expected Utility (SEU) theory involves subjective probability estimates and utility functions to model decision-making in the presence of risk.
SEU suggests that a decision maker should analyze all options and choose the one with the greatest expected utility.
Janis and Mann proposed a seven-stage approach to decision making, which involves thoroughly canvassing alternatives, weighing objectives and values, and making detailed provisions for implementing the chosen course of action.
This approach assumes that the decision maker has complete and reliable information, can process all the data, identify all possible solutions, evaluate outcomes, and is not time-constrained or under stress.
Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) perspective is based on the idea that rational decision-making exceeds human cognitive capacity, leading decision makers to use heuristics and seek satisfactory solutions rather than optimal ones.
NDM research investigates how skilled operators use their experience to make decisions in operational contexts, focusing on understanding the situation, judging its familiarity, and using previous experience to frame the current situation.
Unlike Classical Decision Making (CDM), NDM does not involve generating several alternatives and comparing them using pre-determined criteria, but instead focuses on the processes underlying how an individual actually makes decisions.
NDM emphasizes that decision makers do not make a full review of alternatives but continue the review until a 'good enough' solution is identified.
The NDM approach does not consider the outcome of the decision-making process.
The Classical Decision Making approach assumes that the decision maker has complete and reliable information, can process all the data, identify all possible solutions, evaluate outcomes, and is not time-constrained or under stress.
The Naturalistic Decision Making perspective is based on the idea that rational decision-making exceeds human cognitive capacity, leading decision makers to use heuristics and seek satisfactory solutions rather than optimal ones.

Improving Decision Making in Aviation

Rasmusen's (1974) Decision Ladder outlines steps in decision-making process: problem detection, interpretation of information, sensemaking, identifying options, evaluating competing goals, selecting appropriate task, developing a procedure.
Decision making training approaches include simulator-based training for pattern recognition and structuring decision making using mnemonic-based methods like SHOR, FORDEC, DECIDE.
Focusing training around Orasamu’s decision taxonomy involves different training focuses for each decision type, such as developing perceptual patterns, conducting under realistic time pressure, and developing evaluation skills.
Decision errors in aviation are a form of decision error, which can lead to good decisions resulting in bad outcomes and vice versa.
Two major types of decision errors are error in situational assessment (misinterpreting or ignoring cues) and error in action selection (varies according to the type of decision strategy).
Errors involving rule-based decisions might depend on failing to retrieve a response from memory, while choices among alternatives may be a product of failing to retrieve an appropriate response from memory or determining the adequacy of the outcomes of the options derived.
Creative decisions can be prone to error due to the absence of support, lack of experience, lack of information, and inadequate mental simulation.
Suggested reading includes Chapter 5 of Harris, D. (2011) and the Decision Making chapter in Wickens et al (2014), which covers heuristics and factors affecting decision making performance.
