decision fatigue

Decision fatigue refers to the deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual after a long session of decision making.

It is a psychological condition in which a person's ability to make decisions becomes impaired after being subjected to a prolonged period of decision-making tasks.

This can lead to simplistic decision-making, avoidance of decision-making altogether, or making impulsive decisions without fully considering the consequences.

Decision fatigue highlights the importance of managing mental resources and the impact of cognition load on decision-making processes.
