ISS05 Judgment and Decisions

When making decisions, our cognitive processes operate at both a conscious and unconscious, or automatic, level. When we operate out of a conscious level, we make decisions by carefully considering our choices. In contrast, decisions made on an unconscious level are done without our awareness. This course will explore how we judge processes and behaviors that lead to conscious decisions, the concept of heuristics, and how fallacies in our thinking impact our judgment.
