\n\nAs we move throughout the world, we process large amounts of information and make many choices with limited amounts of time. Hence when information is missing, or an immediate decision is necessary, heuristics act as \u201crules of thumb\u201d that guide our behavior down the most efficient pathway.\n\nHeuristics are the name given to your brain\u2019s mental reflexes and rapid insights. The human mind can only handle so much information at once, so the brain develops these shortcuts to help you compensate for limitations on time, mental energy, and information. In summary, the mind uses heuristics to simplify decision-making.\n\nHeuristics are created due to prior experiences, and people often give these mental reflexes names such as common sense, intuition, or prejudice. But these shortcuts aren\u2019t always optimal. In fact, heuristics are often inflexible toward change.\n\nSource: https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/ca\/basics\/heuristics#understanding-heuristics<\/a><\/em><\/span>\nHow Heuristics can Lead us to Mistaken Conclusions?<\/h1>\n[embed]https:\/\/youtu.be\/ReFqFPJHLhA[\/embed]\nHow Heuristics Sometimes Leads to Cognitive Biases<\/h1>\nHow Cognitive Biases Shape Our World?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n[embed]https:\/\/youtu.be\/8_i3LhBO-rk[\/embed]\n\nNow that you\u2019re familiar with how our mind is susceptible to various kinds of unconscious biases, the role of heuristics, and how they can impact our mind to form different kinds of cognitive biases, check the infographic below for more information.
