You read a description about a woman named tyra, who happens to be extremely beautiful and almost six feet tall. you are asked to predict whether tyra is a model or a science teacher. to do this, you think of your prototypes of a model and a science teacher, and decide that tyra is a model. your reasoning may be faulty due to

(a) an algorithm.
(b) framing.
(c) the availability heuristic.
(d) the representativeness heuristic.

Representative heuristics

Explanation:

Representative heuristics is the mental shortcuts that are used in making the decision and judgments. It is also called a thumb rule called heuristics. Many times we are in a hurry and we don't have time to compare all the information with the past information to make the choices. So the heuristics help us in making the decision quickly and instantly. But this type of decision leads to cognitive error or biases. This heuristics is specially making for the judgment when we compare the events with the pre-existing heuristics in our mind. Our prototype is the image that we already stored in our mind related to a specific events.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
