Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The featured study suggests that engaging in a different task during the period between gathering information and making a decision (i.e. letting your unconscious mind process the information) can lead to better decision-making. Therefore, choice B is the best option. Gathering more information (choice A) or thinking very carefully about the information (choice C) are not recommended as it may lead to overthinking and analysis paralysis. Making a decision immediately after gathering information (choice D) may not allow for sufficient processing time by the unconscious mind.
