Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are Heuristics?
A
A simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgements and solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but also more error-prone than algorithms.
B
A sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem; it contrasts with strategy-based solutions
C
A tendency to search for information that confirms one’s preconceptions
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heuristics are mental shortcuts that allow people to solve problems and make judgments quickly and efficiently. These rule-of-thumb strategies shorten decision-making time and allow people to function without constantly stopping to think about their next course of action.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heuristics are mental shortcuts that can facilitate problem-solving and probability judgments. These strategies are generalizations, or rules-of-thumb, reduce cognitive load, and can be effective for making immediate judgments, however, they often result in irrational or inaccurate conclusions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heuristics are mental shortcuts for solving problems in a quick way that delivers a result that is sufficient enough to be useful given time constraints. Investors and financial professionals use a heuristic approach to speed up analysis and investment decisions.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Insight: a sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem; it contrasts with strategy-based solutions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Heuristics are problem-solving techniques that result in a quick and practical solution. In situations where perfect solutions may be improbable, heuristics can be used to achieve imperfect but satisfactory decisions. Most heuristic methods involve using mental shortcuts to make decisions based on prior experiences.
