Abstract
The purpose of the present chapter is to introduce a model for explaining the noxious effects of time stress on decision-making optimality. Although the impact of time stress on decision making is well documented, there is no clear explanation for that phenomenon. So far, no specific theoretical model of decision making under time stress has been developed. The model presented here is based on time perception processes, a cognitive domain that is usually neglected in the decision-making literature.

There is no relationship between the alpha rhythm and temporal estimations (Adam et al 1971), however, Coffin & Ganz found in the estimation of a 5 sec task a high correlation between the estima tions and the weighted mean frequency of the EEG close to the alpha frequency.

This chapter reviews recent human and nonhuman animal studies investigating neural signatures of time estimation and concludes that the neural signatures recorded during the to‐be‐timed period are insufficient to explain various aspects of interval timing.

Those who were exposed to either controllable or uncontrollable stress showed a significantly stronger tendency to offer solutions before all available alternatives had been considered and to scan their alternatives in a nonsystematic fashion than did participants who were not exposed to stress.

195 Citations1984Dan Zakay, Stuart Wooler
It was found that training resulted in more effective decision making only under the ‘no time pressure’ condition, and under time pressure training did not improve the quality of decision making at all, and the effectiveness of the decisions was significantly lower than under no time pressure.

It was found that subjective time estimations were a decreasing function of task difficulty, and that durations for ‘empty’ intervals were estimated to be longer than those for “filled” intervals, supporting a cognitive timer model of subjective time estimation.
