Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-making: intuitive and

analytical. Intuitive decision-making (similar to Augenblink decision-making) is based on the
L

experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and paired with fairly common errors.

In contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater reliability
