Article Synopsis
- Computer-simulated microworlds, like Networked Fire Chief (NFC), can help study naturalistic decision making (NDM) but their effectiveness for producing real-world applicable outcomes is uncertain.
- In a study with 20 participants completing 20 scenarios in NFC, data showed limited improvement in decision-making performance across speed, accuracy, efficiency, and planning.
- The study highlighted that while NFC is useful for understanding perceptual-cognitive processing in NDM, it has limitations when compared to actual decision-making contexts, suggesting careful regulation is needed for using microworlds in research.
