Heuristics & Biases: Mental Shortcuts 🧠

Heuristics are mental shortcuts. They are essential tools that help us navigate a complex world with constrained cognitive bandwidth. But heuristics can also lead to systematic biases.

This video introduces the playlist in which I explore how we use heuristics to form judgments and make decisions under uncertainty. I will also examine how these mental shortcuts can lead to biases and errors in our reasoning.
