Précis of Simple heuristics that make us smart.
How can anyone be rational in a world where knowledge is limited, time is pressing, and deep thought is often an unattainable luxury? Traditional models of unbounded rationality and optimization in cognitive science, economics, and animal behavior have tended to view decision-makers as possessing supernatural powers of reason, limitless knowledge, and endless time. But understanding decisions i...
متن کاملSimple Heuristics That Make Us Smart
To survive in a world where knowledge is limited, time is pressing, and deep thought is often an unattainable luxury, decision-makers must use bounded rationality. In this precis of Simple heuristics that make us smart, we explore fast and frugal heuristics—simple rules for making decisions with realistic mental resources. These heuristics enable smart choices to be made quickly and with a mini...
متن کاملSimple Forecasting Heuristics that Make us Smart: Evidence from Different Market Experiments
We study a model in which individual agents use simple linear first order price forecasting rules, adapting them to the complex evolving market environment with a smart Genetic Algorithm optimization procedure. The novelties are: (1) a parsimonious experimental foundation of individual forecasting behaviour; (2) an explanation of individual and aggregate behavior in four different experimental ...
متن کاملHomes That Make Us Smart 1 Alex
In this article we consider what it should mean to build ‘smartness’ or ‘intelligence’ into the home. We introduce an argument suggesting that it is people who imbue their homes with intelligence by continually weaving together things in their physical worlds with their everyday routines and distinct social arrangements. To develop this argument we draw on four ongoing projects concerned with d...
متن کاملEnvironments That Make Us Smart Ecological Rationality
Traditional views of rationality posit generalpurpose decision mechanisms based on logic or optimization. The study of ecological rationality focuses on uncovering the ‘‘adaptive toolbox’’ of domain-specific simple heuristics that real, computationally bounded minds employ, and explaining how these heuristics produce accurate decisions by exploiting the structures of information in the environm...
