使用纸和铅笔实验管理的高级中心，我们研究决策性能的多属性决策问题。我们区分了老年人随着年龄的增长，认知能力下降和认知过程变化对决策能力的影响。我们发现，随着年龄的增长，表现显着下降，这是由于我们最老的受试者对普通技能的依赖减少和决策随机性增加。然而，我们发现，在决策问题中增加选项的数量会增加任务中所需的技巧。这挑战了人们在面临太多选择时放弃的选择超载观点。
Using paper and pencil experiments administered in senior centers, we examine decision-making performance in multi-attribute decision problems. We differentiate the effects of declining cognitive performance and changing cognitive process on decision-making performance of seniors as they age. We find a significant decline in performance with age due to reduced reliance on common heuristics and increased decision-making randomness among our oldest subjects. However, we find that increasing the number of options in a decision problem increases the number of heuristics brought to the task. This challenges the choice overload view that people give up when confronted with too much choice.
