Answer:

The correct answer is: availability heuristic

Explanation:

The availability heuristic occurs when people judges the likelyhood of an event based on how easily an example of the event comes to mind. Under the availability heuristic, people tend to base their judgement on recent information that can be easily recalled, ignoring other relevant facts.

By basing their opinions on the latest news people can overestimate the likelyhood of an event, resulting in an important bias.

________ are mental shortcuts that provide serviceable but often inexact answers to common judgmental problems.
RideAnS [48]

Heuristics are mental shortcuts that provide serviceable but often inexact answers to common judgmental problems.

<h3>What is Heuristics?</h3>

Heuristics are general principles that can be used to direct decision-making based on a more constrained subset of the information at hand. Heuristics are thought to enable quicker decision-making than techniques that require more information because they rely on less information.

The three heuristics that attracted the greatest attention are:

  • Anchoring,
  • Adjustment,
  • Availability.

Heuristics allows to quickly handle information volumes that are greater than what our social cognitive abilities can handle. These mechanisms play a role in the fact that most of our social thought happens automatically.
