What problem-solving strategies involve making educated guesses and making efficient use of time?

A) heuristics
B) algorithms
C) mnemonic devices
D) cognitive shortcuts

Heuristics

Heuristics are mental shortcuts or rules of thumb that simplify decision making, often at the cost of accuracy or completeness.

Algorithms

Step-by-step procedures or formulas for solving problems or performing tasks.

Mnemonic Devices

Techniques used to help remember information, often through associations, patterns, or acronyms, facilitating easier retrieval from memory.
