Heuristic psychology

A heuristic is a mental shortcut, or a general problem-solving strategy that allows us to make fast

judgements. Yet again, these judgments may be biased and logically flawed. The two most well studied

forms of heuristics in cognitive psychology are the availability heuristic and the representativeness

heuristic

For this assignment, describe an example of either the availability OR representativeness heuristic from

your life (or someone you know). Be sure to identify which of the two you are referring to, and how it is an

example of biased cognition. Finally, discuss whether or not you think there is anything that could be done

to avoid bias in that situation.
