Effects of information sequence and irrelevant distractor information when using a computer-based decision aid

Article Abstract:

This study looked at the behavioral aspects of computer-aided decision-making programs, determining that the presence of irrelevant distractor information will detract from judgment accuracy. The study focused on auditing of client-banks and used four alternative decision aids. Another finding is that diagnostic information presented later in the process, rather than earlier, will have better effect on the resulting decisions. Judgment confidence is unrelated either to the sequence with which information was presented or to irrelevant distractor information.
