摘要
Simple heuristics that make us smart offers an impressive compilation of work that demonstrates fast and frugal (one-reason) heuristics can be simple, adaptive, and accurate. However, many decision environments differ from those explored in the book. We conducted a Monte Carlo simulation that shows one-reason strategies are accurate in "friendly" environments, but less accurate in "unfriendly" environments characterized by negative cue intercorrelations, that is, tradeoffs.
