Under what circumstances can decision support systems cause decision-makers to switch to a higher quality cognitive strategy of decisiobn making?

    BASIC STATISTICAL
    Testing theories, models, or hypotheses that are of interest to an identified research community, through statistical analysis of large bodies of data, either existing or newly collected through survey, simulation, or experiment.
5.
The authors adapted and extended a theoretical framework to evaluate strategy choices,  incorporating both the cost benefit theory and the bounded rationality theory.  Results from past research were interpreted within the framework, and the framework was also used to successfully predict outcomes from a new experiment.  The data indicate that is inaccurate to speak of "effort minimization" or "effort reduction" as the determining factor in how computerized decision aids are used.  A more accurate characterization is that effort and quality play a joint role. in that they are traded off in determining what cognitive strategy will be used for decision-making

The article would appeal to persons interested in advances in the underlying body
of knowledge that supports development and deployment of decision support
systems. It weould also be of interest to persons interested in studying the factors
imfluencing the choice of decision making strategies by professionals.
