AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Algorithm: a methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem. Heuristic: a simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but also more error-prone than algorithms.

Detailed explanation-2: -algorithm a methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem.

Detailed explanation-3: -Below are the six steps: Recognize that a problem exists Analyze the problem-Collect information Identify possible causes (solutions) to the problem Evaluate the possible causes (solutions) Develop an action plan to correct the problem and take action Verify that the problem has been corrected.

Detailed explanation-4: –An algorithm is a methodical, logical rule or procedure (such as a step-by-step description for evacuating a building during a fire) that guarantees a solution to a problem.-A heuristic is a simple thinking strategy that is usually speedier than an algorithm but is also more error-prone.

Detailed explanation-5: -Heuristics are simple, thinking strategies that allow us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently. Heuristics are less time consuming, but more error-prone than algorithms. Heuristics make it easier for us to use simple principles to arrive at solutions to problems.
