General Information
Description
Gerd Gigerenzer is a German psychologist who has studied the use of bounded rationality and heuristics in decision making. Gigerenzer is currently director of the Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and director of the Harding Center for Risk Literacy, both in Berlin, Germany. How do humans make inferences about their world with limited time and knowledge? Gigerenzer?s answer is that in an uncertain world, probability theory is not sufficient; people also use smart heuristics, that is, rules of thumb. He conceptualizes rational decisions in terms of the ?adaptive toolbox? and the ability to choose a good heuristics for the task at hand. A heuristic is called ?ecologically rational? to the degree that it is adapted to the structure of an environment. Gigerenzer argues that heuristics are not irrational or always second-best to optimization, as the accuracy-effort trade-off view assumes, in which heuristics are seen as short-cuts that trade less effort for less accuracy.
