== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Rationality''' β The quality of being based on or in accordance with reason or logic; often divided into instrumental and epistemic. * '''Utility''' β A measure of the total satisfaction or value received from consuming a good or service. * '''Heuristic''' β A mental shortcut or "rule of thumb" used to solve problems or make decisions quickly. * '''Cognitive Bias''' β A systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment. * '''Bounded Rationality''' β Herbert Simon's idea that rationality is limited by available information, time, and the mind's processing power. * '''Prospect Theory''' β Kahneman and Tversky's theory describing how people choose between probabilistic alternatives that involve risk. * '''Loss Aversion''' β The tendency to prefer avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains (the "pain" of losing $100 is greater than the "joy" of winning $100). * '''Anchoring''' β The tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered (the "anchor") when making decisions. * '''Availability Heuristic''' β Judging the frequency or probability of an event based on how easily examples come to mind. * '''Confirmation Bias''' β The tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information in a way that confirms one's prior beliefs. * '''Sunk Cost Fallacy''' β Continuing an endeavor as a result of previously invested resources (time, money, effort) even when it's no longer optimal. * '''Framing Effect''' β People react to a particular choice in different ways depending on how it is presented (e.g., as a loss or as a gain). * '''Expected Value''' β The sum of all possible values for a random variable, each multiplied by the probability of its occurrence. * '''System 1 vs. System 2''' β Dual-process theory: System 1 is fast/intuitive; System 2 is slow/deliberative. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
