Do people make good decision makers?

Every day we make numerous decisions. Is it better to deliberate or to go with your first instincts? Join our psychology lecturers as we take a look at some of the cognitive mechanisms that help us to make decisions. Plus, we explore how to evaluate our decisions. After all, a decision is only good or bad in the context of how we review it.
