Based on where you are in your exploration

Heuristics(as used in epistemology and ethics): Quick mental shortcuts or rules of thumb that help us make decisions without having to think through every detail from scratch.
Optimization framework(as used in economics and rational choice theory): A way of thinking about decision-making that assumes people are trying to get the absolute best outcome by carefully weighing all their options and information.
bounded rationality(Decision theory and cognitive psychology): Models of decision-making that take into account that human agents face resource limitations, as a counterpoint to normative models requiring optimization over all alternatives.
mechanism(Nineteenth-century scientific worldview that challenged interactionist dualism): The scientific and philosophical view that the physical world is causally closed and that all events are explicable solely in terms of physical laws
mischaracterizes(what conditioning political expression does to national self-determination): Describes something inaccurately or in a misleading way—getting the nature or basis of something wrong.
