Heuristics

94
Heuristics are problem-solving strategies that use mental shortcuts to simplify decision-making. Unlike algorithms, which must be followed precisely to achieve a correct result, heuristics offer a general problem-solving framework. They save time and energy but can sometimes lead to less rational decisions.
People often rely on heuristics when faced with an overload of information, limited time, low importance of the decision, limited information, or when a heuristic readily comes to mind. For...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.0K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

192
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key...

Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

6.5K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.3K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

    Area of Science:

    • Data Visualization
    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Information Systems

    Background:

    • Dashboards have evolved from static metric displays to interactive tools supporting analysis and communication.
    • Current design guidelines often overlook the expanded scope, focusing primarily on visual design.
    • Dashboards need to facilitate analytical conversations for effective data interaction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To reframe dashboard design as facilitating cooperative analytical conversations.
    • To develop a set of design heuristics for effective analytical conversations.
    • To assess the utility of the cooperative dashboard concept and its heuristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Defined cooperative dashboards based on conversational principles.
    • Derived 39 dashboard design heuristics for analytical conversations.
    • Evaluated heuristics with 52 graduate students critiquing and designing dashboards.

    Main Results:

    • Participant feedback indicated heuristics surfaced novel dashboard failure points.
    • The proposed heuristics encouraged more fluid, supportive, and responsive dashboard design.
    • The cooperative dashboard framing proved useful in practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Dashboard design should prioritize facilitating analytical conversations.
    • The 39 heuristics offer practical guidance for creating more effective dashboards.
    • Future work includes developing authoring tools and extending principles to other analytical workflows.
