O7. Helpful Mental Shortcuts Or a Shortcut to Bias? Two Perspectives on Heuristics and One New Direction For Consumer Research

However, a second perspective posits that heuristics may be more efficient and accurate than complex computations, despite using less information. We explore what this perspective can offer future consumer research.
