computational limitations  

Definition

  • There are two aspects to computational limitations in decision making. On the one hand, there is the idea that the human brain is computational and that optimal decisions require lengthy computations but that the human computational capacity is limited, and therefore human decision performance is less than optimal and humans must use alternative strategies (heuristics, etc.) to make decisions.
