Experience-based choice involves leveraging past decisions to inform current choices in various design contexts, emphasizing different techniques like recognition primed decision making, habit-based choice, and affect-based choice. These methods highlight how prior experiences and emotional associations can shape decision-making processes under time constraints. Ultimately, past experiences, reinforced by outcomes, critically impact how we approach and make decisions in the present.

• The idea that a decision
made in the past (with
some success) is likely a
decent option now.
• This is not availability
heuristic, it talks about
previous choices not
available information.

• You are a fire fighter who
just reached the situation
and you see the fire is
growing rapidly, the stakes
are high because of the
location and there is a lot
of chaos because of the
fire.
• How do you make the next
decision?

• Klein et. al. predicted based on previous experiments,
that fire fighters would typically consider two course of
actions before deciding which one to execute.
• They would apply the consequence based model.
• But decision makers, didn’t see to make any decisions
but take actions based on his previous situation.

• Past experience have a considerable effect on our
current decision making process
• New decisions might be based on a habit or might
reinforce by a positive reward
• Our past experience have a emotion associated with
it, which effects our decision making process
