Representative Heuristic
A B
Based on the picture, you can see two handsome men. The person on the left side is
person A while on the right side is person B. You can see person A wearing jersey, short,
stocking and boots, looks like he is very energetic and eager to do something. On the other side,
person B is well dressed, gentleman, wearing high class suit and tie and also classy shoes. If I
ask you to guess who is more likely to go to football field to play football, who would you
choose?
Definitely, most people will choose person A because they use their past experiences to
make their decision. When they see this picture, their brains automatically rely on past
experiences and mental representations to make their judgments which is person A.
