Heuristic Control

Heuristic control refers to the mental shortcuts or rules of thumb that people use to make decisions quickly and efficiently, especially when facing complex or uncertain situations. Instead of analyzing every detail, we rely on past experiences, intuition, or simple guidelines to arrive at a satisfactory choice. While this approach speeds up decision-making, it can sometimes lead to biases or errors. Heuristics are valuable tools for navigating daily life efficiently, but understanding their limitations helps us make more informed and balanced decisions.
