Why a dynamic multicomponential model of decision making: some milestones and a preliminary tool

Abstract

Why is it necessary today to propose a new tool to evaluate decision-making skills? The neuroscientific approach proposed in this paper constitutes a new frontier for grasping the multi-component nature of the decision-maker’s thought and action skills, using an innovative tool, through a modular methodology (5 domains that characterize the decision-making process: style, strategy, efficacy, awareness and metacognition), a multimethodological approach (through tasks, tests and self-report measures, in addition to the neurophysiological level) and a digitized format, thus restoring a 360-degree perspective on the potential of making decisions in real-life contexts. DassDec - Decisional Assessment for Decision-making-sets out to do all of this.
