What is the cognitive judgement decision making based on?
The judgment of an individual can be divided into:
- Perceptual Judgement. It is the ability to make a judgement based on learned skills or experience by interpreting sensory information to make decisions. The individual senses stimulus from the environment, analyzes them based on previous experience and makes a decision on how to deal with them. Perceptual judgement may be affected by mental models.
- Cognitive judgement. It involves decision making based on a complex thought processes by analyzing all available data. The individual collects information, interprets it, analyzes the available options and reaches a reasoned conclusion. This process is not automatic; it requires active thinking.
Perceptual Judgement → Skills and experience
Cognitive Judgement → Logical reasoning
Let's examine the given options:
Automatic motor programmes. → INCORRECT. Motor programmes are learned skills. Cognitive judgement refers to logical reasoning instead of applying a skill.
A complex thought processes. → CORRECT. Cognitive judgement involves decision making based on a complex thought processes by analyzing all available data.
Purely sensory reflexes. → INCORRECT. Sensory reflexes may be a part of perceptual judgement instead. Cognitive judgement requires thinking before acting.
Previous repetitive physical practice. → INCORRECT. Physical practice is required in order to apply a skill. Cognitive judgement is a mental process so physical practice is not required.
