The Naturalistic Decision-Making Perspective

Abstract

The naturalistic decision making (NDM) approach seeks to understand human cognitive performance by studying how individuals and teams choose among alternatives in real-world settings. Unlike laboratory studies, NDM research captures human interactions with actual work settings that are typically uncertain, complex, fluid, and time-pressured. The NDM approach emphasizes the role of experience in making it possible for individuals to quickly categorize situations in order to make effective decisions. Models of behavior that have resulted from these studies inform research and performance in high hazard work settings such as revisions of military doctrine, training that is focused on decision requirements, and the development of information technologies to support cognitive work. Keywords: cognition; decision making; naturalistic decision making
