Gerd Gigerenzer            Origin/Culture/Country: German

Gerd Gigerenzer: a German psychologist who has studied the use of bounded rationality and heuristics in decision making, especially in medicine. A critic of the work of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, he argues that heuristics should not lead us to conceive of human thinking as riddled with irrational cognitive biases, but rather to conceive rationality as an adaptive tool that is not identical to the rules of formal logic or the probability calculus.[1] He has written several books intended for a lay audience on the subject of heuristics and decision-making, including Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart (1999), Bounded Rationality: The Adaptive Toolbox (2001), Reckoning with Risk: Learning to Live with Uncertainty (2002, published in the U.S. as Calculated Risks), and Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious (2007)
