Heuristiques

Heuristics are mental shortcuts or “rules of thumb” that help people make quick decisions and solve problems efficiently. Instead of analyzing every detail, our brains rely on previous experiences and general principles to reach a likely solution. While this approach speeds up decision-making, it can sometimes lead to errors or biases. Heuristics are useful in everyday life when time or information is limited, enabling us to navigate complex situations efficiently without exhaustive analysis.
