Assignment: For each of the following heuristics outlined in Chapter 2 (Social Cognition), write a two-page (in total) typed assignment paraphrasing the definitions of the following heuristics:


 * Representativeness heuristic
 * Availability heuristic
 * Anchoring & adjustment heuristic
 * Status Quo heuristic
 * Unit Bias heuristic (incorporate information from the Unit BiasLinks to an external site. Research Article)

In addition to defining each heuristic, provide an ORIGINAL example (not one from the eBook) that illustrates how people make decisions using these heuristics.

For each heuristic, explain how the use of the heuristic can lead to incorrect inferences. DRAFT
