0 (of a method of teaching) allowing students to learn by discovering things themselves and learning from their own experiences rather than by telling them things
1 a method of learning or solving problems that allows people to discover things themselves and learn from their own experiences:
2 the study and use of heuristic methods:
Heuristics aren't taught in medical school and are in fact discouraged.
Further, there is no sound theoretical basis for the two heuristics that it uses.
But the agent may also be aware of her own lack of relevant knowledge and thereby choose a different (less riskprone) heuristic.
Although post hoc classification of youth to various developmental trajectories has heuristic value, this method is fraught with problems as well.
Thus, we introduce two specialpurpose heuristics: the "follow-boundary" and the "avoid-region".
This strategy is difficult to transfer to heuristics, for they perform well precisely because they are not general, but issue-specific or even situation specific.
Next, each remaining interpretation receives a heuristic rating based on the case importance and case filler preference values.
When there is more than one available heuristic, the choice set of possibilities may still be small.
Focusing on simple cognitive heuristics does not make the application of rational standards derived from formal calculi unnecessary.
