Moments later the teller gives us our money and we leave. often, something learned experientially and recalled when needed. Heuristic Function - function applied to a state in a search space to indicate a likelihood of success if that state is selected. heuristic search methods are known as “weak methods” because of their generality and because they do not apply a great deal of knowledge .
