For the last week, Adam has been sleeping very little, yet still seems full of energy and enthusiasm. His extreme optimism has led him to take foolish risks. He has lost a lot of money - for instance, betting on a horse that he was sure would win. Adam may be in a manic state.
Answer:
availability heuristic
Explanation:
An availability heuristic is a mechanism by which a person can easily form a conclusion of a situation. People are inclined to believe in the things that can be easily recalled, while other alternatives are not thought of. These memories are formed in the recent past.
Here, Jim watched a documentary about the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. When he thought about his flight to San Francisco he thought about the documentary first without thinking of anything else.
Hence, the statement here is referring to availability heuristic.
