The Information Processing Model helps us understand how we think and make choices. However, it has some big challenges to deal with:
Understanding Human Behavior: Our thinking is shaped by feelings, social situations, and things we don’t even realize. The model doesn’t fully capture this complexity.
Accuracy Issues: The model believes our thinking works in a straight line, but in reality, decision-making can be messy and unpredictable because of biases.
To improve this model, we can combine it with ideas from behavioral economics and social psychology. This mix could give us a better way to understand how these biases influence our decisions.
