THE PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

MEMORY AND EMOTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Experts in a given field prefer heuristics to algorithms because heuristics:
A
Guarantee solutions to problems
B
Prevent mental sets
C
Often save time
D
Prevent fixation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main advantage of adopting a heuristic approach is that it offers a quick solution, which is easy to understand and implement. Heuristic algorithms are practical, serving as fast and feasible short-term solutions to planning and scheduling problems.

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: -While algorithms provide step-by-step procedures that can guarantee solutions, heuristics are faster and provide shortcuts for getting to solutions, though this has the potential to cause errors.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main advantage to using heuristics is that they allow us to make good-enough decisions without having all of the information and without having to undertake complex calculations.
