    | quote = The most important work in heuristic teaching has been done by George Polya. His ''How To Solve It'' has been a best seller since its first printing in 1945-copies sold number in the hundreds of thousands. Complementary to ''How To Solve It'' are two other works, each in two volumes: ''Mathematical Discovery'' and ''Mathematics And Plausible Reasoning''.}}</ref><ref name=origin01/>

| quote = Mauritz Johnson (1966) observes that the idea is hardly new, and that, ignoring the classical accreditation of its use to Socrates in the ''Meno'', one finds an early discussion of discovery learning by David P. Page in his ''Theory and Practice of Teaching'' in 1847 as well as by later writers, Herbert Spencer in 1860, Frank and Charles McMurry in 1897, and William Chandler Babley in 1905.}}</ref>

    | quote = Lakatos ([1965]) also adopted the term to characterize his methodology of scientific research programmes, which would lead researchers to either avoid or pursue certain lines of inquiry 'negative' and 'positive' heuristics, respectively).}}</ref>

	| access-date = 5 May 2024
    | quote = Wimsatt's ([1980], [1981], [2006], [2007]) work on reductionist modelling strategies - also built upon Simon's programme of bounded rationality - provides an alternative starting point that is more useful for understanding the role that heuristics play in science.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal

| quote = In a series of papers beginning in 1980 and represented in his 2007 book, Bill Wimsatt analyzed a series of 'heuristics,' thought of as guides or 'rules of thumb,' which are employed when scientists proceed in a reductionist manner (1980, 2007).}}</ref>

| quote = In summary, Hodgkin and Huxley use heuristics in the Wimsatt sense, and the heuristics fall both into what Wimsatt calls reductionistic heuristics and also nonreductionistic heuristics.}}</ref>
