Today is the sixth episode of The Daily Decision

A theory is like a story. It helps think through a complex set of events in a coherent manner.

A theory is an explanation for phenomena (the singular in phenomenon). And theories must be tested. For example,

her teaching method is based on the theory that all children want to learn

 Within decision making there are three theories or ways to think about decision making

  1. Normative
  2. Descriptive
  3. Prescriptive

Normative is like “normal” but in this case normative is the best decision possible given all the time, money, and energy in the world.

Descriptive like it sounds describes all decisions, good and bad.

Prescriptive, like getting a prescription, is the idea that you can improve your decision making with intervention.

As always, Happy Deciding.
