5203 |a"Two experiments tested predictions of Information Foraging Theory (IFT) pertaining to “patch-leaving,” the decision to abandon an information source to search elsewhere. IFT predicts that increasing the between-patch cost associated with moving from one source of information to another should lead foragers to increase the time spent in each patch. Similarly, increasing the within-patch cost associated with processing individual information items should likewise increase the time spent in each patch. Participants searched for information relevant to solving a series of simulated analysis questions using the INformation FOraging Cognitive Analysis Tool (INFOCAT) platform. Information items were separated into a number of discrete databases and participants were allowed to freely search information and select items they judged to be relevant”--Abstract, p. i.
