Take-the-best heuristic

Take-The-Best is a type of thinking people do when trying to make decisions quickly. It's a way of figuring out what the best thing to do is by looking at all the available evidence and making an educated guess. Imagine you're trying to decide what to have for dinner, you can look at all the options you have and then narrow it down to the best one by asking yourself some questions like: Is it healthy? Is it delicious? Is it easy to make? This is the same idea behind Take-The-Best but applied to more complicated decisions. It means looking at evidence in a logical and organized way to figure out what the best decision is.
