Subjects were required to perform equally repetitive decisions, one form of decision making occurring in every-day work life. The authors found that manager and non-managers showed differential activation of cortical and subcortical parts of the brain during the decision process. The results, they write, support the hypothesis that <strong>managers, given their increased pressure for frequent and rapid decisions, prefer a more heuristic, automated decision-making approach than non-managers do<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Citation: Caspers S, Heim S, Lucas MG, Stephan E, Fischer L, et al.
