How can these strategies lead to errors in reasoning

Reference no: EM133721086

Heuristics help us manage the amount of sensory information we get daily, but it should be employed carefully when making social judgements. It is harmful when the anchor, the starting point, is influenced negatively. Some studies have found that mood can influence anchoring bias. People who are sad are more likely to experience anchoring bias (Myers 2023). Studies also suggest that cognitive overload affects anchoring bias. When I visit my son who lives and works in Manhattan, I quickly find myself in sensory overload. It is impossible to process everything and mental shortcuts in that case are beneficial. How can these strategies lead to errors in reasoning? On balance are heuristics more beneficial or harmful for people to employ when thinking about the world?
