Abstract

The fast and frugal heuristics of ABC and rules of thumb of behavioural biologists represent strategies that humans and other animals might use to make decisions under time constraints and with a minimum of information. If experimental psychologists could demonstrate use of simple heuristics by non-humans in experimental settings, quantitative and empirical evaluation of those heuristics would benefit from additional formal, controlled avenues of study.
