Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular course
of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that focuses
N
on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective
thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making and problem
KS
solving.
2. What
O
1. A) Its need for implementation time
2. B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
3. C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
LU
4. D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives
Ans: A
Feedback:
TI
The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time constraints are a
consideration. Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem
O
solving. Because problem solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much
time and energy are spent on identifying the real problem.
N

same problems
