A

Recognition Primed Decision making

29
Q

Model implies 9 out of 10 cases does not make decision based on selection choices, but rather based on previous experience; and the option is based on whether it has worked effectively in previous similar situations.

A

Recognition Primed Decision making

30
Q

  • Theory states people make decisions based on past experience
  • IC uses ability to recognize signs of smoke movement and color, type of structure, and visible location
  • IC must use both recognition knowledge base and procedural knowledge base.
