Deadlines seem to have different effects on human activities. For example, when located far in the distant future, they may slow down a decision or a problem-solving process because there is so much time available. When the deadline for the completion of a task is closer, it may speed up and make the solution process more efficient. However, when still closer, deadlines may alter decision or problem-solving processes resulting on some occasions in inferior outcomes; on other occasions improvements result as compared with situations when more time is available (cf. the review by Edland and Svenson, this volume; Payne et al., 1992).
