Zajchowski, Chris A. B.; Brownlee, Matthew T. J.; Furman, Nate N. – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2016
Heuristics--cognitive shortcuts used in decision-making events--have been paradoxically praised for their contribution to decision-making efficiency and prosecuted for their contribution to decision-making error (Gigerenzer & Gaissmaier, 2011; Gigerenzer, Todd, & ABC Research Group, 1999; Kahneman, 2011; Kahneman, Slovic, & Tversky,…

Culp, Clinton A. – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2016
From an examination of the current textbooks and literature concerning judgment and decision-making models used in outdoor adventure leadership, it is easy to see that they are still deeply rooted in the classical decision-making theory. In this article, I will (a) outline the importance of good judgment and decision making in an outdoor adventure…

Collins, Loel; Collins, Dave – Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2012
As a comparatively recent development, the adventure-sports coach struggles for a clear and distinct identity.

Mehm, Florian; Göbel, Stefan; Steinmetz, Ralf – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2013
The genre of educational adventure games is a common and successful choice in game-based learning.
