- Describe the study in which German judges were asked to make a decision about appropriate sentences for wrong-doers. After reading about the case, judges received either harsh or more lenient recommendations from a journalist, a random roll of the dice, or a seasoned prosecutor. What did the study show? What key heuristic did it powerfully (and worryingly) illustrate? What reason can you give for why the recommendations were so powerful?
