Answer:

Availability heuristic

Explanation:

In psychology, the availability bias or availability heuristic refers to a bias that refers to the phenomenon by which people rely on the information that first comes to their mind (or that come to their minds more easily) in order to have an opinion about a subject. In other words, you rely on the information that first comes to your mind.

In this example, Dolores has moved to a big city and she has recently read about street crime in one of the city's neighborhoods, however she is more at risk of harm from reckless drivers. Since <u>she is relying in the information that first comes to her mind (since she has been reading about it) instead of the actual risk that there is in the city,</u> she would be using the availability heuristic.

dalvyx [7]

Answer: Dams have been useful to many countries in the Middle East that depend on outside water sources, such as rivers, to survive. Dams provide extra water for farming and electricity in the countries where they are built. The people of Turkey have received these benefits from the Ataturk Dam. However, this dam has caused problems for other countries. Iraq and Syria, which are located downriver from the dam, are receiving a smaller supply of water, affecting their access to farming and drinking water. The multiple dams built in Iraq during Hussein's regime highlight other issues. These dams drained the region's largest marshlands

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

blind

Explanation:

To quantify the extent of atherosclerosis, each pathologist looked at every autopsy specimen and assigned a score. To keep the pathologists from knowing the source of the tissues beforehand, the study was <u>blind</u> to the pathologists.

Atherosclerosis is a disease resulting from the build up of fats around the arteries which could cause blood flow restriction or even bursting of the artery resulting in hemorrhage. It is more common in obesed  individuals.

The advantage of blinding the pathologist from knowing the source of the tissues is to increase objectivity in their analysis and remove any form of biased judgement based on the source of the tissue. For example, if the pathologist is aware that the source of the tissue is from an extremely obese man, he/she may likely give it a higher score.
