[重庆南开中学2025高一月考]How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? There are people who go over every detail before making a choice. 1 Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency towards a specific mental mistake.
To study “jumping”, we examined decision-making patterns among more than 600 people from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. 2 In a quiz, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right much more than other participants did—even when their answers were wrong.
So what is behind “jumping”? Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: the automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, and the controlled system including careful and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and non-jumpers are equally influenced by the automatic thought. 3 A lack of controlled thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.
4 A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their bias, which can help people think more cautiously. In this training, participants can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the problem at hand. It helps to weaken participants’ overconfidence.
In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our guts (直觉) is a frequent and important one. Recent studies have given us the answer which I quite agree with. 5 Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.

A.Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.
B.Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.
C.But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.
D.It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to make a decision.
E.We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.
F.Even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.
G. The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as the non-jumpers.
