Analytical Thinking Intuitive thinking is very quick and reflexive. It requires minimal mental effort and is often correct. It relies on heuristics (defined below). Analytical thinking is very slow and reflective. It requires more mental effort than intuitive thinking. It is also more reliable, but it takes time. VI. Algorithm Vs. Heuristic Thinking Algorithm thinking is guaranteed to be correct if used correctly. An example of this would be math equations because when you are given an equation if you plug in the numbers correctly, you are guaranteed to get the correct answer. Heuristic thinking is a mental-shortcut or rule of thumb. It is generally fast and easy. It usually works, but sometimes does not. There are two different types of heuristic thinking. One is representative heuristic, in which we judge the probability of an event by its superficial similarity to a well-known example. When we do so, we are committing something known as the base rate fallacy. The other is known as availability These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

This is often highly influenced by the media. VII. Definition of operational The definition of operational is a variable in terms of how it’s measured. An example of this would be aggression in children. It has to be measureable. VIII. What is naturalistic observation? Naturalistic observation is observing behavior without interfering. A pro of this is high external validity with low internal
