Directions: After watching the video, please Create a Discussion Blog that addresses the following questions:
1. In your own words, define the availability and representativeness heuristic.
2. Why do we use heuristics? Are they helpful or a hindrance?
3. Explain a time when you have used one of these heuristics.
4. Describe the implications of heuristics. You can either number your responses or break them into paragraphs for clarity. This helps the reader know that the writer understands what question they are answering.
Get creative! Attach a picture, video, etc., to make your intro more interesting!
Please elaborate by providing examples—the minimum word requirement is 500 words. This does not include retyping the questions.
