The explore/exploit tradeoff principal which is known well by computer scientists helps up to make better decisions.
For example, imagine that you are in a town where you visit first time.
which do you choose trying some new restaurants or going to the restaurant which you already have know as the good one?
The answer depend on how long are you going to stay the town.
If you stay long, you should explore to find better restaurants for a future dinner.
But if you stay short, you should exploit because a little information is enough to have several dinners.
It means that the more opportunity you will use the information, the more important you explore.
In our life, what we take and don't take is important.
Computer scientists who specialize memories know some good strategies to answer the question.
When did you use it for the last time?
Some computer memories are limited, so they had studied how to choose unimportant information to remove and make room for important one.
Thanks of those studies, it becomes more easy to find important one because options that you have to consider become less.
Therefore, to reduce options rationally makes more easy to decide.
