CHAPTER 36 Embarrassment

  Calista

  Once home, I dashed inside the study room, pulled out my notes, and began reviewing my work from psychology- the recent assignment focused on the cognitive processes underlying decision-making. The task was to analyze a case study using principles of cognitive psychology to explain the subject's choices and behaviors.

  As I flipped through my notes, it didn't take long for me to spot the error- a fundamental misunderstanding rooted in concepts from behavioral economics rather than cognitive psychology. In my analysis, I had mistakenly applied theories related to rational choice and economic decision-making models, which were more suited to Draven's area of expertise in economics, not mine in psychology.

  Frustration crept in as I realized the implications of my mistake. The assignment was due the next morning, and correcting it meant I had to rethink my entire approach.

  "I have no choice..." I muttered to myself, running my fingers through my hair nervously.
