under conditions of risk, uncertainty, and ambiguity; 2) the effect of
sudden changes in wealth on a person's attitude toward risk (such as the
effects of winning a prize in the lottery on financial decisions); 3) effects
of the judge's point of view on judgments and decisions; and 4) combinations
of information from sources of varied expertise and bias to form judgments
and decisions. The center is located in H-532, phone 714 278-2102. For more
