economic practices. Today‚ science is tackling the explanations of our tendencies for instant gratification in terms of heuristics: shortcuts in analysis that are hardwired into our brain to optimize survival. We are evolutionarily programmed to employ these cognitive biases‚ to use our energy sparingly‚ to “be frugal with our mental resources” (Sundar 74); the use of these heuristics is an adaptation that explains our proclivity for all these myopic behaviors definitive of our popular culture.

A Decison Making Model There is a tendancy to make decisions automatically rather than taking a systematic approach. It is still important to monitor yourself‚ and when possible follow this decision making model (Smith‚ 2002[2]): Detect - Detect that a change has occured Estimate - Estimate the need for action to adapt to the change Choose - Choose the most desirable outcome Identify - Identification of actions which will successfully control the change Do - Carry out the chosen actions

GLOBAL CODE ALGORITHM Get the data point from the STL file. These points are saved in form of Matrices. For Example‚ the Vertex matrix is saved a 3-dimensional matrix‚ having 3 vertices for each face‚ and each vertex have three coordinates. So the size of the matrix V will be D1x3x3‚ where D1 is the number of faces. In order to simplify mesh‚ we have used the method where we combine the two vertices of the face if they are less than a threshold value‚ say t= 1.1 units. For a particular face Fn

1. Identify the possible heuristics and/or biases that may have influenced your co-worker ’s opinion. There are three items I see that may have influenced the other senior manager ’s opinion: 1) The candidate is female 2) The candidate is Hispanic 3) The candidate has been working at a competitor The representativeness heuristic may be applicable for item one and two. Perhaps the senior manager has a personal judgment (bias) toward a Hispanic woman ’s ’ ability to be successful as a marketing

rule of thumb to make judgments and decisions easier‚ known as heuristics. Availability heuristics are defined as using the strength of association to estimate the frequency or probability of an event‚ based on how easily the associations can be brought to mind. Basically‚ one is making decisions based on what easily comes to mind‚ and if something is available in memory‚ it is more likely to be remembered. Although availability heuristics have some benefits‚ it also has some disadvantages that can

I see and experience mindbugs all the time whether I know they happened or not. One of the most common mindbugs I face everyday is availability heuristic mindbug. This mind bug happens when you are given events and which event gets more media coverage and you hear more about you assume it must happen more. An example of the availability heuristic mind bug is when you hear on the national news that a group of white police officers shot and killed an unarmed black citizen somewhere in the country‚

Since the inception of the study of the mind‚ psychologists have endeavored to isolate the characteristics and causes of errors in human thinking. Researchers and theorists have developed categories of such errors: representativeness heuristics‚ availability heuristics‚ memory and hindsight biases‚ etc. . . . In other words‚ to err is human. In 1957‚ Festinger identified another phenomenon in human cognition--cognitive dissonance. Festinger theorized that humans experience negative emotions when
