Discuss the impact of human cognitive functioning on problem-solving when people face real-world contemporary problems. Lifestyle problems (like lack of sleep) or biological issues (like changes in brain activation).

We also consider the role of decision-making on cognitive functioning when faced with real-world problems and how someone might make a decision using theories of decision-making when faced with PSTD. Would they use heuristics or deductive reasoning? What are the potential outcomes of the real-world problem and the possible decisions in terms of cognitive psychology?
