Information on Naturalistic Decision-Making

Naturalistic decision-making was formulated by Klein et al (1993) to explain how decision-makers formulate decisions. Klein’s naturalistic decision-making model is based on extensive field work and differs from a decision event model in the following ways:
    

  • much effort is devoted to situation assessment or figuring our the nature of the problem;

    •     
  • single options are evaluated sequentially through mental simulation of outcomes; and

    •     
  • options are accepted if they are satisfactory, rather than optimal.


    • Other topics in our resources on Risk Management and Decision Making related to Naturalistic Decision-Making include: 
     
  • decision event model of decision making
