ABSTRACT

The naturalistic approach to training decision making takes as its starting point the way real decision makers make decisions. Unlike normative approaches that are based on decision theory or other formal models, naturalistic training is in no rush to replace ordinary decision processes with methods that may appear to be more theoretically justified, but which are qualitatively different from the methods that proficient decision makers use. If a house is basically sound, it can be better to renovate than to tear down and rebuild from scratch.
