Teaching Pack: Heuristics with Joe Pliskin

2023

This teaching pack, curated by the Center for Health Decision Science, features videos introducing heuristics used in decision making. While these “mental shortcuts” can be useful in some circumstances, they can lead to more errors than deliberate, rational thinking. An awareness of these heuristics is useful to decision makers.

This series of videos on heuristics was developed by Professor Joe Pliskin during his residency with the CHDS Media Hub led by Jake Waxman. They reflect low-stakes prototypes in the multimedia lab to use "storytelling" and "personalization" to connect with learners.

Videos include:

Joe Pliskin is an Adjunct Professor of Health Decision Science at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Professor Emeritus at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel.
