Context, as well as inputs, shape decisions, but are people aware of it?

Erik G Helzer et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2014 Feb.

Abstract

Even if people are experts at understanding how various input cues landed them at a particular decision (something the authors refer to as cue utilization), they may still fail to appreciate how context influences the weight given to those input variables. We review evidence suggesting that people are unaware of contextual influences on their decisions.
