      "heading": "The threshold before the response",
      "point": "Roger Ratcliff and Gail McKoon (2008, Neural Computation) present a model in which a choice between two responses results from evidence accumulating to a threshold."

      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that simply slowing down improves decisions."

      "heading": "What the evidence does not allow us to transfer",
      "point": "The models discussed are primarily tested on repeated, relatively simple tasks for which correct responses can be defined."

      "point": "Within SHR's [decision-making](/formation/prise-de-decision/bale) programme, an exercise suitable for a Basel-based interface between pharmaceuticals, life sciences, Rhine logistics and international R&D is to track a recurring category of coordination decisions that are not safety-critical."
