Update: 2020-06-01

Description

In this brief episode, we apply psychology concepts to the River Crossing Riddle, including slow thinking strategies (trial and error) and fast thinking strategies (heuristics, or mental shortcuts). We also explore why people fear the wrong thing, using a common shortcut, the availability heuristic. Enjoy exploring Ted Ed videos and EdPuzzle videos this week!
