EXPLANATION:Representation bias occurs through memory recall. When a decision maker has to analyze the options of a decision, he tends to recall a memory or experience that is similar to the present decision-making situation. In the representative heuristic we compare the similarity of two objects and assume that one is like the other (Aronson, 1999).

The representativeness heuristic argues that people see commonality between items or people of similar appearance, or between an object and a group it appears to be a part of.

If I meet three people from a company and they are all aggressive, I will assume that the company has an aggressive culture and that most other people from that firm will also be aggressive.

whenever we see a beggar, he or she must be poor, that’s our first thought. However, there are cases where some of them live in big houses!

Another example, bad drivers – if you see a bad driver, it must be a lady! So all these are stereotyping!
