Abstract
In an interesting paper in Behavioral Science, Volume 12 (1967) Professor Amnon Rapoport reported on his tests of the dynamic decision making capabilities of a group of students. He found that the students did not perform well relative to the normative results predicted by two quantitative inventory models he had chosen. It is the purpose of this paper to point out that the wrong normative models were chosen and that if the appropriate inventory model is picked, the students actually performed reasonably well.
