Talk:Decision fatigue

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article has this early sentence: "For instance, judges in court have been shown to make poorer quality decisions late in the day than they do early in the day." But it looks like subsequent work has cast serious doubt on the study that claimed to find this. See here and here. I think this sentence referring to judges should be removed. If possible, another example of decision fatigue should be included in its place. 67.86.134.97 (talk) 14:57, 26 October 2018 (UTC)anon.[reply]

I came to this article and was surprised to see the study about judges referenced uncritically. Since the talk page is like this I went ahead and removed the sentence. If someone wants to put it back that's fine but should include mention of criticism. Also, I am not sure that the original study or NY Mag article support the phrasing "poorer quality decisions" - I think their decisions were simply not to give parole, which was a more safe / conservative decision. --Polm23 (talk) 05:43, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possible additions/changes

[edit]

Hello, I am editing this article as part of PB101 at the LSE for a Psychology project, and I've been tasked with getting it out of "Start Class". My plan is to develop a definition & context section, as well as definiting the cognitive, behavioural and physiological attributes of decision fatigue. I might also add in some impacts of decision fatigue, such as susceptibility to biases, failure to identify decisional opportunities and decision regret. Any advice would be great!
