According to Tversky and Kahneman's research on heuristics, individuals often rely on heuristics (mental shortcuts) rather than a systematic and thorough evaluation of information when making judgements or decisions. Therefore, Ben is more likely to rely on a heuristic (such as his gut feeling or general impression of the performance) rather than developing a mental chart (A), asking Serge for his opinion (C), or using deductive reasoning (D).
