Answer: Heuristic refers to experience-based techniques for problem solving,
learning, and discovery that give a solution which is not guaranteed to be
optimal. Where the exhaustive search is impractical, heuristic methods are used
to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution via mental shortcuts
to ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples of this method
include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive judgement,
stereotyping, of common sense. Heuristics are strategies using readily accessible,
though loosely applicable, information to control problem solving in human
beings and machines.
