Primes

• Relevance Substitution
  • In cognitive psychology, heuristic substitution names a mechanism in which an easy-to-assess attribute is substituted for the hard-to-assess attribute the decision actually requires, systematically and below conscious access.

    This sourceDefines attribute substitution: an easy-to-assess attribute substituted for the hard target attribute, below awareness.

Domain-specific

• Scope Neglect
  • Kahneman and Frederick call this attribute substitution — a hard target attribute (scope-weighted value) is unconsciously replaced by an easier one (the prototype's affect), and the easy answer reported as if it answered the hard question
