Information Search in Decisions from Experience
Do different patterns of sampling influence the decisions people make, even when the information the decisions are based on is equivalent? Do more and less switching between options correlate with different kinds of decision policies? In past research, the correspondence between search and decision patterns has been difficult to ascertain because the information obtained has often been confounded with its consequences in an exploration-exploitation trade-off. I will report on several studies that show a relationship between individual differences in the way information is sampled and the subsequent decisions people make.
