出于几个原因，用于推理的有限理性启发式方法可以出人意料地准确和节俭。他们可以利用环境结构，利用复杂的能力，并通过利用自动到达心理舞台的信息来逃避费力的搜索。流利性启发式是启发式最好的例子，它最大限度地利用了从记忆中检索的自动副产品，即检索流畅性。在4个实验中，作者表明提取流畅度可以代表真实世界的数量，人们可以区分两个物体的提取流畅度，并且人们的推理符合流利性启发式(特别是快速推理)和实验操作的流畅度。作者得出结论，流利性启发式可能是大脑策略库中的一种工具，这些策略巧妙地探测记忆中能够真实反映世界统计规律的封装频率信息。
Boundedly rational heuristics for inference can be surprisingly accurate and frugal for several reasons. They can exploit environmental structures, co-opt complex capacities, and elude effortful search by exploiting information that automatically arrives on the mental stage. The fluency heuristic is a prime example of a heuristic that makes the most of an automatic by-product of retrieval from memory, namely, retrieval fluency. In 4 experiments, the authors show that retrieval fluency can be a proxy for real-world quantities, that people can discriminate between two objects' retrieval fluencies, and that people's inferences are in line with the fluency heuristic (in particular fast inferences) and with experimentally manipulated fluency. The authors conclude that the fluency heuristic may be one tool in the mind's repertoire of strategies that artfully probes memory for encapsulated frequency information that can veridically reflect statistical regularities in the world.
