Abstract: In this overview of experimental decision aid research, we examine some of the basic considerations necessary when conducting this type of research. We next look at several specific lessons we have learned over our combined careers in this research stream. Whether dealing with the basics or specific lessons learned, we provide the reader a foundational understanding of the problems involved and suggestions toward solutions. We conclude by discussing some of the unique advantages and disadvantages of doing decision aid research using experimental methods. Specifically, we note that experimental decision aid research spans a wide range of human experience, from psychology to technology, and that it is well placed to get to the “why” behind the “what” experiments find.
