Abstract
This chapter summarizes what has been learned about the dynamics of cognitive workload and fatigue and the extensions of the two cusp models to financial decision making in which an element of risk is involved. Other interesting findings concerning individual differences in response to cognitive workload and fatigue and the performance-variability paradox followed from the study of the two models. The last section of the chapter considers new directions for research that encompass greater levels of complexity that are found in the broader scope of financial decision making.
