really well explained. Thanks. this is nothing like the explanation given by Steven Novella in the Great Courses series on Critical thinking, he said "The representativeness heuristic is the assumption that, typically, causes must resemble effects. Emotionally charged effects, for example, we assume must have emotionally charged causes. Theassassination of John F. Kennedy is an example. Could it be that onederanged man acting on his own caused something so momentous? That doesn’t seem right." - it mentions nothing of odds. what's going on?
Thanks! I'm not sure what's going on, I don't know the rest of the context for his explanation but that doesn't make much sense to me for explaining the representativeness heuristic.
You can think of schema as the building blocks of how we organize our thoughts into groups by connecting things together. So you have schema for terms like "lawyer" or "engineer" that include many associations beyond the basic definitions. The representativeness heuristic reveals that we have a tendency to make decisions using these schema, even when other kinds of information are available and more relevant. Hope this helps!
Good question, these are closely related because they both demonstrate our tendency to think in categories and prototypes. That said, stereotyping usually refers more specifically to expectations about people based on their groups while the representativeness heuristic is more related to solving problems using categories as a shortcut.
I think you could say that base rate neglect explains why people aren't sure for the 3rd profile, but that the activation of prototypes in addition to base rate neglect is why they tend to answer lawyer and engineer for the 1st and 2nd profiles.

Difference between schemas and representative bias?
You can think of schema as the building blocks of how we organize our thoughts into groups by connecting things together. So you have schema for terms like "lawyer" or "engineer" that include many associations beyond the basic definitions. The representativeness heuristic reveals that we have a tendency to make decisions using these schema, even when other kinds of information are available and more relevant. Hope this helps!
@@PsychExamReview Yes, thanks:)
is there any difference between representative heuristic with stereotype?
Good question, these are closely related because they both demonstrate our tendency to think in categories and prototypes. That said, stereotyping usually refers more specifically to expectations about people based on their groups while the representativeness heuristic is more related to solving problems using categories as a shortcut.

You're welcome!
Isn’t this simply base rate neglect?
I think you could say that base rate neglect explains why people aren't sure for the 3rd profile, but that the activation of prototypes in addition to base rate neglect is why they tend to answer lawyer and engineer for the 1st and 2nd profiles.
