o Support with reference to literature and evidence.
IMPORTANT!! Your own work is expected and critique of the group discussion should
be included.

the questions are
1) Outline the role intuitive and analytical reasoning in the diagnosis and clinical
decisions made in the case you discussed within the tutorial?
• Think about the idea of the Duel Process Theory!!
Support your discussion using literature.
(200 words – provide at least two (2) references to literature on
intuitive & analytical reasoning)
(10 marks)
2) Consider what biases may have influenced how you prioritised information and
made decisions in the case?
• Include reference to the different types of bias and how they influence the
decision making process.
• Choose the biases that are most relevant to your case.
Support your answers using literature and reference to the case.
(250 words – provide at least two (2) references to literature
