refers to the tendency to persist in solving problems with solutions that have worked
in the past, may prevent other possible solutions, especially in areas where one is
knowledgable or well trained, can sometimes suggest a useful heuristic
Give this one a try later!
mental set
a mental representation of objects, can be visual or involve other senses
Give this one a try later!
mental images
,placing people or objects in a category if they are similar to the concept that is the
prototype, can lead to faulty estimates if we failed to take information into account
Give this one a try later!
representativeness heuristic
involves the sudden realization of how a problem can be solved
Give this one a try later!
insight
refers to the tendency to view objects as functioning only in their usual or customary
way, often prevented seeing the full range if ways in which an object can be used
Give this one a try later!
functional fixedness
a system for combining arbitrary symbols to produce an infinite number of meaningful
statements
Give this one a try later!
, language
making decisions based on information that comes most easily to mind
Give this one a try later!
availability heuristic
overestimating that rarity of events
Give this one a try later!
overestimation effect
breaking a problem into a series of sub goals; working backwards
Give this one a try later!
Useful heuristics
occurs when members of a group are aware of negative stereotypes about, women
perform poorly in math especially advanced math
