Decision making is one of the most studied and interdisciplinary subjects in psychological research. Every given day, we all make countless decisions, starting from choosing the route in which we drive to work, to decisions regarding housing, career and family. This class overviews the central models in decision making- how a rational person “should” make decisions. Additionally, this class overviews reasons and situations in which people deviate from the behavior predicted by the normative models, and how these deviations lead to sub-optimal decisions.
