This study examined whether people adhered to the recognition heuristic (i.e., inferred that a recognized hockey player had more total career points than an unrecognized player) and whether using this heuristic could yield accurate decisions. On paired comparisons, having participants report whether they recognized each player plus any knowledge they had about each player permitted players to be classified as either unrecognized (UR), merely recognized (MR), or recognized with additional knowledge (RK), thus producing six possible trial types. Participants adhered to the recognition heuristic on 95% of MR-UR trials and were accurate on 81% of those trials. They chose the recognized player on 98% of RK-UR trials, yielding 94% accuracy. Women had less knowledge and recognized fewer players than men, yet they were nearly as accurate as men. Future research should examine the conditions under which the recognition heuristic is an adaptive strategy.

Background: Evaluating precision oncology outcomes requires access to real-world and clinical trial data. Access is based on consent, and consent is based on patients' informed preferences when deciding to share their data. Decision-making is often modeled using utility theory, but a complex decision context calls for a consideration of how heuristic, intuitive thought processes interact with rational utility maximization.

Metabolic engineering is a rapidly evolving field that involves optimizing microbial cell factories to overproduce various industrial products. To achieve this, several tools, leveraging constraint-based stoichiometric models and metaheuristic algorithms like particle swarm optimization (PSO), have been developed. However, PSO can potentially get trapped in local optima.

To improve the safety of ship navigation in complex sea areas and reduce planning time while achieving optimal path planning. The paper proposes an improved A* algorithm that incorporates ship collision risk assessment. The paper utilizes multi-scale raster maps to divide the sea chart in the context of complex sea areas, and combines the Line-of-sight (LOS) algorithm to solve the zigzag paths that may appear in this planning context.

Article Synopsis
- - The project focuses on developing a system to identify emotions from EEG data, differentiating between positive, neutral, and negative states, utilizing Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to clean the data from artifacts.
- - Various filtering techniques segment EEG data into different frequency bands, and a hybrid optimization method combining Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Grey Wolf Optimiser (GWO) is used for feature extraction and hyperparameter tuning.
- - The resulting CNN model shows impressive accuracy rates, achieving around 99% on both the SEED and DEAP datasets, significantly outperforming other techniques and demonstrating improved emotion recognition performance.
Measuring Beyond the Standard: Informal Measurement Systems as Cognitive Technologies.

This paper explores the role of measurement as a cognitive technology across human history, emphasizing the coexistence of formal and informal measurement systems. While standardized systems dominate contemporary culture and are well documented across large-scale societies of the past, this manuscript highlights the less explored domain of informal measurement practices that have been integral to daily life from the past to the present. Through the examination of body-based measurement systems and proportional heuristics, we demonstrate how these informal strategies were not merely precursors to formal standards but essential adaptive tools for solving everyday problems.
