The speaker used a strategy to examine human decision-making using a large dataset of over 10,000 scenarios, which is significantly more than previous studies./nThe speaker used a machine learning model to analyze the data and found that while basic psychological principles still explain human behavior, they don't apply uniformly to all problems./nThe use of this strategy improves the accuracy of predictions about human behavior and allows for the exploration of more complex theories./nThe ability to collect and analyze more data is a natural progression that leads to a better understanding of human behavior.
