|
We generalize our views to other, nonrepresentativeness heuristics
|
|
|
The representativeness algorithm does not match the representativeness heuristic
|
|
|
Possible variations in the prototype are considered
|
|
|
We fail to consider the approximate number of prototypes that actually exist
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The representativeness heuristic can contribute to prejudice and systemic discrimination. Because we rely on categories and prototypes to guide our perception of others, we can easily end up drawing on stereotypes to make judgments about other people.
Detailed explanation-2: -Representativeness heuristic bias occurs when the similarity of objects or events confuses people’s thinking regarding the probability of an outcome. People frequently make the mistake of believing that two similar things or events are more closely correlated than they actually are.
Detailed explanation-3: -It can lead to faulty estimates and judgments. Which statement can be made about the representativeness heuristic?-It is not contingent on one’s prototype of an event.
Detailed explanation-4: -Representativeness heuristic bias occurs when the similarity of objects or events confuses people’s thinking regarding the probability of an outcome. People frequently make the mistake of believing that two similar things or events are more closely correlated than they actually are.
