Various internet sources have deduced that overall we make an eye-popping 35,000 choices per day. Of this number, 227 choices daily are made on just food alone according to researchers at Cornell ...
A study of the decisions of Israeli parole boards was made in 2011. [2] It found that the granting of parole was 65% at the start of a session but would drop to nearly zero before a meal break. [ 2 ] The authors suggested that mental depletion as a result of fatigue caused decisions to increasingly favour the status quo, while rest and ...
Decision fatigue is a phrase popularised by John Tierney, and is the tendency for peoples’ decision making to become impaired as a result of having recently taken multiple decisions. [ 5 ] Decision fatigue has been hypothesised to be a symptom, or a result of ego depletion . [ 6 ]

Johnson uses a case-study approach to explore the deliberate, "full-spectrum" analysis process used by successful decision-makers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Examples range widely, from the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden to the destruction of Manhattan's Collect Pond , and even include the literary depiction of decision-making under uncertainty in ...
According to Odum, "much of the current confusion and distress surrounding environmental issues can be traced to decisions that were never consciously made, but simply resulted from a series of small decisions." [2] Odum cites, as an example, the marshlands along the coasts of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Between 1950 and 1970, almost 50 ...
Dynamic decision making research uses computer simulations which are laboratory analogues for real-life situations. These computer simulations are also called “microworlds” [4] and are used to examine people's behavior in simulated real world settings where people typically try to control a complex system where later decisions are affected by earlier decisions.

Research has been conducted in the influence that time plays in decision-making. In two experiments, Finucane, Alhakami, Slovic and Johnson (2000) studied the affect heuristic under time pressure and the influence that providing risk and benefit information has on the affect heuristic.
