Abstrakt: The inherence heuristic is a cognitive process that supplies quick and effortless explanations for a wide variety of observations. Due in part to biases in memory retrieval, this heuristic tends to overproduce explanations tiiat appeal to die inherent features of die entities in die observations being explained (hence die heuristics name). In this response, we use the commentators' input to clarify, refine, and expand the inherence heuristic model. The end result is a piece tiiat complements die target article, amplifying its dieoretical contribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
