Answer 1

Answer:the assumption of bounded rationality

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a bounded rationality?

A bounded rationality means we use our prototype to relate to the situation that we are trying to resolve due to the lack of information and time available to us.

This is a rule of thumb or a view of heuristic in which we can use our preexisting information in order to make a decision or make judgements.

For example if we see someone reading horoscopes frequently and they believe in visions at all times if someone were to ask us if that someone is a teacher or a spiritual healer we are likely to say that she or he is a spiritual healer due to the information that already exist in our mind.

Using a rule of thumb may result to accurate judgements and sometimes inaccurate judgements or decisions.
