The Effect of Heuristics and Cognitive Biases in Military Decision-making
The Effect of Heuristics and Cognitive Biases in Military Decision-making

Summary/Abstract: The missions of the Romanian military are becoming more and more complex and difficult to execute. Much of the difficulty of these missions is due to the operating environment characterised by the fact that most decisions are taken under stress and uncertainty. Under these circumstances, modern research has revealed that people may be prone to judgmental errors due to cognitive biases (cognitive errors). For this reason, it is essential for military specialists to understand how these biases work and to identify the methods by which the military can be educated and trained to cope with them.
