===One-reason decisions===
{{See also|Optimal stopping}}

One-reason decisions are [[algorithm]]s that are made of three rules: search rules, ''confirmation rules'' (stopping), and decision rules<ref>{{Cite journal

    | quote = TTB consists of three building blocks. (1) Search rule: Search through cues in the order of their validity, a measure of accuracy equal to the proportion of correct decisions made by a cue out of all the times that cue discriminates between pairs of options. (2) Stopping rule: Stop search as soon as one cue is found that discriminates between the two options. (3) Decision rule: Select the option to which the discriminating cue points, that is, the option that has the cue value associated with higher criterion values.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal
