The role of intuitive heuristics in students' thinking: Ranking chemical substances (2010, methodology): “In this latter type of situations, a recognition heuristic (i.e., if one of the objects is recognized and the others are not, then infer that the recognized object has the higher value) may be more useful (Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002).”
Homo Heuristicus: Why Biased Minds Make Better Inferences (2009, background): “The conditions under which the recognition heuristic (discussed below) leads to a less-is-more effect have been derived analytically (Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002) as have the conditions in which a beneficial degree of forgetting improves accuracy in inference (Schooler & Hertwig, 2005).”
Why are some entrepreneurs more innovative than others? (2007, background): “In general, when exercising judgments about probabilities and outcomes, people often use simple heuristics (Gigerenzer and Todd 1999, Goldstein and Gigerenzer 2002) or intuitive optimization rules (Lévesque and Schade 2005) to guide their choices in situations that are characterized by risk and…”
Take The First: Option-generation and resulting choices (2003, background): “In particular, our argumentation follows a variation of the ‘‘less-is-more’’ effect that has been used to support the benefits of other fast and frugal heuristics (Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002).”
Social Influence, Binary Decisions and Collective Dynamics (2008, background): “…DOI: 10.1177/1043463108096787 attention to others may serve as a means of reducing the complexity of decision making processes (Gigerenzer et al. 1999), or as a way of inferring otherwise inaccessible information about the world (Bikhchandani et al. 1998; Goldstein and Gigerenzer 2002).”
The Effect of Recommendations on Network Structure (2016, background): “First, in many domains it has been found that people confer higher value to that which they recognize or are familiar with [14], and so individuals may simply believe (accurately or not) that recommendations of popular people are of relatively higher quality.”
The recognition heuristic: A decade of research (2011, methodology): “In our original work, we had speciﬁed one condition for the ecological rationality of the recognition heuristic (Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002, p. 87): Substantial recognition validity.”
Attention and choice: a review on eye movements in decision making. (2013, background): “More recently, the priority heuristic (Brandstätter, Gigerenzer, & Hertwig, 2006) and the recognition heuristic (Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002) have also been proposed.”
Deciding Analytically or Trusting your Intuition? The Advantages and Disadvantages of Analytic and Intuitive Thought (2002, methodology): “intuitively to a stimulus by using the recognition ( Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002 ) or”
Heuristics: Tools for an Uncertain World (2015, background): “Because many of them recognize the name of Detroit but have not heard of Milwaukee, they can apply the recognition heuristic (RH; Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002): If only one of two alternatives is recognized, infer that it has the higher value with respect to the criterion.”
Heuristic decision making. (2011, neutral): “For two alternatives, the heuristic is defined as (Goldstein & Gigerenzer 2002): Recognition heuristic: If one of two alternatives is recognized and the other is not, then infer that the recognized alternative has the higher value with respect to the criterion.”
Intuition in Judgment and Decision Making: Extensive Thinking Without Effort (2010, background): “…an object for a certain category (representativeness heuristic: Tversky & Kahneman, 1974), or when deciding between two objects, they might choose the one that they recognize over the one they do not, while ignoring all other information (recognition heuristic: D. G. Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002).”
