Detailed explanation-1: -Intuition is the effortless, immediate, automatic feeling or thoughts we often use instead of systematic reasoning. Heuristics enable snap judgments. Using the availability heuristic, we judge the likelihood of things based on how readily they come to mind, which often leads us to fear the wrong things.
Detailed explanation-2: -The use of heuristics rather than algorithms is most likely to: save time in arriving at solutions to problems. Scientists are trained to carefully observe and record any research outcomes that are inconsistent with their hypothesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Smart thinkers welcome their intuitions (which are usually adaptive), but when making complex decisions they gather as much information as possible and then take time to let their two-track mind process all available information.
Detailed explanation-4: -algorithm. Persistent use of an inappropriate heuristic is known as: a mental set.
