Explanation:
Heuristics are simple strategies or mental processes that humans, animals,[1][2][3] organizations[4] and machines[5] use to quickly form judgments, make decisions, and find solutions to complex problems. This happens when an individual focuses on the most relevant aspects of a problem or situation to formulate a solution.[6][7][8][9]
There are many kinds of heuristics that can be tailored to solve various problems in everything from psychology to technology design to economics. Heuristic processes are used to find answers and solutions likely to work or be correct. This does not mean however, that heuristics are always right.[10] While they can differ from answers given by logic and probability, judgments and decisions based on a heuristic can be good enough to satisfy a need.[11] They can also be quicker to calculate, serving as a quick mental reference for everyday experiences and decisions. In situations of uncertainty, where information is incomplete.[12] Heuristics allow for less-is-more effects, where less information leads to more accuracy.[13] Less-is-more effects have been shown experimentally, analytically, and by computer simulations.[14]
