This study investigates decision making in mental health care. Specifically, it compares the diagnostic decision outcomes (i.e., the qualityof diagnoses) and the diagnostic decision process (i.e., pre-decisional information acquisition patterns) of novice and experienced clinicalpsychologists. Participants’ eye movements were recorded while they completed diagnostic tasks, classifying mental disorders. In line withprevious research, our findings indicate that diagnosticians’ performance is not related to their clinical experience. Eye-tracking data pro-vide corroborative evidence for this result from the process perspective: experience does not predict changes in cue inspection patterns. Forfuture research into expertise in this domain, it is advisable to track individual differences between clinicians rather than study differenceson the group level.
