Detailed explanation-1: -A heuristic is a rule-of-thumb, or a guide toward what behavior is appropriate for a certain situation. Heuristics are also known as “mental shortcuts” (Kahneman, 2011). Such shortcuts can aid us when we face time pressure to decide, or when conditions are complex and our attention is divided.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Heuristic rules are shortcuts that deliver quicker decisions than traditional methods when problem-solving in computing and elsewhere – we could even say they are used to reach educated guesses.
Detailed explanation-4: -The availability heuristic occurs when we judge the likelihood of an event based on how easily we can recall similar events. If we can vividly remember instances of that event, we deem it to be more common than it actually is.
