One of the most successful enterprises of experimental psychology and systems neuroscience has been the elucidation of mechanisms underlying simple forms of decision-making.
Given the success of diffusion models in accounting for large classes of behavioral data, neurophysiologists have naturally employed these models to examine the neural mechanisms underlying simple forms of decision-making.
Sustainability assessment models are based on an inter-disciplinary approach that recognizes the need for "accountings" that facilitate more participatory forms of decision-making and accountability.
Alternative, non-classical performance evaluation methods may be used, such as fuzzy logic, a mathematical technique of set-theory that can be applied to many forms of decision-making including research on engineering and artificial intelligence.
In the spirit of trial-and-error, why couldn't the two giants conduct experiments designed to discover forms of decision-making that are better suited to deal with the technological, environmental, and political challenges that we face?
These moves partly reflect broader socio-political changes, in this case for more participatory forms of decision-making [ 5], but, especially when it was first being undertaken, there was often confusion about what patient involvement entailed [ 46].
