ScienceJudgment under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases
28,003 Citations1974Amos Tversky, Daniel Kahneman
Three heuristics that are employed in making judgements under uncertainty are described: representativeness, availability of instances or scenarios, which is often employed when people are asked to assess the frequency of a class or the plausibility of a particular development.

357 Citations1979Arthur C. Graesser, Sallie E. Gordon +1 more
The hypothesis predicts that memory discrimination is better for atypical actions in a passage than for typical script actions and there is no memory discrimination for very typical actions and suggested that discriminative accuracy is best explained by properties of a passage's representation rather than the amount of cognitive resources allocated at acquisition.

222 Citations1976Richard C. Anderson, James W. Pichert +4 more
Three experiments investigated the hypothesis that, when interpreted in context, general terms are typically encoded on the basis of an instantiation, and indicated that a particular term naming the expected instantiation of a general term was a better cue for the recall of a sentence than the general term itself.
