A heuristic | '''A cognitive heuristic refers to a mental shortcut or a simplified thinking strategy that individuals use to make decisions or solve problems more efficiently'''. Cognitive heuristics can provide efficient problem-solving approaches, but they are also prone to biases and errors. They simplify information processing by employing rules of thumb or general guidelines, which can lead to systematic deviations from rational judgment. | ||
