To organize decision-making into manageable steps that support ACC up-regulation and effective decision-making

To minimize deliberate thought and focus on automatic responses

To ensure all steps can be skipped if time is limited

How does task induction within the DDMP enhance brain area activation? *

By suppressing cognitive activity to reduce energy usage

By stimulating specific brain areas, preparing them for optimal performance during each step

By bypassing brain activation to save time in decision-making

By relying solely on emotional responses to activate the brain

Why is it important to follow the steps of the DDMP in sequence? *

To reduce unnecessary brain activation

To ensure decisions are made without considering prior steps

To support effective decision-making and reduce errors by building each step upon the previous one

To allow for random decision-making

What is the primary benefit of using a structured decision-making process like the DDMP? *

It reduces anxiety and uncertainty by providing a clear, step-by-step approach

It eliminates the need for deliberate decision-making entirely

It simplifies decisions by avoiding any structure or sequence

It allows decisions to be made based solely on past experiences

Which of the following activities best supports ACC activation during the DDMP? *

Skipping the initial steps to save time

Following the initial DDMP steps to build awareness and establish relevance

Focusing only on the final decision without reviewing previous steps

Avoiding deliberate decisions to conserve cognitive energy

What is the primary purpose of recording decision steps during DDMP practice? *

To avoid revisiting prior steps in case of errors

To document each step, ensuring consistency and supporting reliable decision tracking

To rely on memory instead of written records for efficiency

To reduce the importance of structured decision-making
