research on memory and decision making

Research on memory and decision-making explores how our past experiences and knowledge influence the choices we make. When faced with decisions, we often rely on memories of similar situations or information we've learned. This process involves our ability to recall relevant facts and experiences, which can guide us toward better choices. However, biases and inaccuracies in memory can lead to poor decisions. Understanding this relationship helps us improve decision-making strategies, such as using tools or techniques to better access and evaluate our memories in various scenarios.
