    "title": "The ecological rationality of children’s option generation and decision making",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In everyday life, before deciding what to do, one has to think\nabout what could be done. We investigate option generation\nfrom a developmental perspective, testing the predictions of the\nTake-The-First-heuristic (TTF). Moreover, we examine the\ninfluence of time limitation on decision-making processes.\nUsing soccer as a testbed, 6- to 13-year-old children (N = 97)\nwere tested in a video-based option-generation paradigm.\nChildren’s performance was aligned with predictions of TTF:\nChildren generated a mean of 2.21 options, did so in a\nmeaningful way and selected the first as final option in 74%.\nWith shorter time, children generated fewer and higher quality\noptions, selected better options and more often the first option\nas final decision. Further, with age, an increase of the number\nof options generated and an increase in quality of the final\ndecisions emerged. This age effect was more pronounced with\nshorter time. Implications for real-life decision-making are\ndiscussed.",
