Description
The Intelligence of Intuition by Gerd Gigerenzer Gerd Gigerenzer challenges common misconceptions about intuition in this thought-provoking analysis. He argues that intuition is not irrational caprice, but rather a form of unconscious intelligence based on years of experience and evolved to deal with uncertain situations. In opposition to the idea that human intuition should be replaced by perfect algorithms, Gigerenzer introduces the scientific study of intuition and shows that it relies on smart heuristics. This book provides valuable insights for researchers, students, and anyone interested in decision making, heuristics, cognitive psychology, and behavioral public policy. By exploring the war on intuition in the social sciences, Gigerenzer offers a fresh perspective on how we make decisions and arrive at our judgments.
