A study was conducted to investigate the impact of pre-frontal lobe damage on decision-making. Two subjects participate in the study:   Dawn, a 30-year-old woman with no damage to her pre-frontal lobe Myra, a 30-year-old woman with bilateral damage to her pre-frontal lobe   Both Dawn and Myra were asked to play a betting game. During each round of the game, they were given up to $50 to bet on one of four sailboats in a race. At the beginning of the experiment, participants were not told that each sailboat has a different probability of winning and a different payout for winning. Participants would lose their entire bet on rounds where they select a losing sailboat.    Sailboat A wins 50% of the time, participants collect 110% of their original bet if Sailboat A wins (a bet of $10 dollars pays out $11) Sailboat B wins 30% of the time, participants collect 150% of their original bet if Sailboat B wins (a bet of $10 dollars pays out $15) Sailboat C wins 15% of the time, participants earn 200% of their original bet if Sailboat C wins (a bet of $10 dollars pays out $20) Sailboat D wins 5% of the time, participants earn 300% of their original bet if Sailboat D wins (a bet of $10 dollars pays out $30)   After several rounds of the game, you would expect _______ to be more likely to choose Sailboat A each time and ________ to show no physiological changes (e.g., increased heart rate and sweating) when choosing (or thinking about choosing) Sailboat D.

Hal is a third-year medical student in Wisconsin. Yesterday he was reading a paper about Dengue Fever, which comes from a virus transmitted via mosquitoes. The primary symptoms are fever, vomiting, aches and pains, and fatigue. It is incredibly uncommon in the state of Wisconsin (particularly in winter). The next day, Hal is seeing a patient whose symptoms are a good fit to Dengue fever. The symptoms are also a pretty good fit to the flu (though a slightly less good fit than the fit to Dengue fever). The flu right now is very common in Wisconsin. In his mind, Hal overestimates how common Dengue Fever might be in Wisconsin right now. He also focuses strongly on the fact that the symptoms are a very slightly better fit to Dengue Fever than to flu. As such, he gives the patient a diagnosis of Dengue fever. Hal’s overestimation of the commonness of Dengue Fever based on the fact that he was just reading about Dengue Fever, is a good example of what decision-making error?
