Assignment Details Heuristics in Social Cognition: For each of the following heuristics from Ch. 2., provide an ORIGINAL example (not one from the textbook) that illustrates how people make decisions. Be sure to explain how the use of the heuristic can lead to incorrect inferences. Representativeness heuristic Availability heuristic Anchoring & adjustment heuristic Status Quo heuristic If you use any outside sources be sure to include a separate reference page. Refer to the Guidelines APA Style 1997 Power Point presentation under the Course Information folder in Blackboard for specific format requirements. Criteria This assignment needs to meet the following criteria: · Include the following sections (with a minimum of 2 double-spaced pages of text beyond the title & reference pages): -Title page – Description of each of the heuristics (2 paragraphs) – Give an example of each of the heuristics (4-5 paragraphs) – Describe how the use of the heuristics leads to incorrect inferences (2-3 paragraphs) – Reference page (if you used any outside resources to garner your opinions) · Do not “directly quote” outside resources (e.g., the textbook). You should get used to paraphrasing outside resources, whereby you put the information in your own words while still citing the source from which you derived your information. Keep in mind that using anything more than three consecutive words of the outside source is considered plagiarism.
