Highlights
We need criteria for evaluation, so that we can gather data on the goodness of judgments, find out what makes them better or worse, and test method for improving them when there is room for improvement. This is the main function of normative models
For judgments of the probability of unique events, one type of normative model, which is applied to a group of such judgments, scores the judgments by distance from 0 or 1 and applies some formula to these scores
We can sometimes assess their consistency with basic principles of decision making, such as dominance. 5
Summary
In principle, define normative models in terms of the behavioral steps involved in making a good judgment or decision. JDM makes distinctions among three types of models: normative, descriptive, and prescriptive.
