English term or phrase: Prototype heuristic
Prototype heuristics can be roughly de-scribed as the substitution of an average for a sum – a process that has been extensively studied by Anderson in other contexts (e.g., Anderson, 1981)

A prototype heuristic is the label for the process of substituting an attribute of a prototype for an extensional at-tribute of its category (Kahneman & Frederick, 2002).
