| Why it’s on the list | The 1982 volume, edited by Kahneman, Slovic and Tversky, that collected the heuristics-and-biases programme — representativeness, availability, anchoring, base-rate neglect — in the researchers’ own papers. The primary literature behind Thinking, Fast and Slow*, which is the version most people have read instead.* |
