Summary Introduction

Introduction

Representativeness heuristic is a mental shortcut that involves estimating the probability of an instance being a member of a group or category based on the similarity of the instance to other members of the group. Thus, in this heuristic, the similarity between the cases rather than the probability of the outcome influences judgment.
