Cognitive psychologists have shown that people judge a type of event as being more likely to occur if they can more easily retri

eve instances of that event from memory. This is called the "availability heuristic." Child abductions are now reported in the media more widely than they were 50 years ago, and parents now have a greater fear of child abduction. A social psychologist might explain this greater fear in terms of the availability heuristic: Because of greater media coverage of abductions, parents can more easily retrieve instances of abductions from memory and therefore overestimate how common they are.

What is the most likely punishment for a traffic violation?
USPshnik [31]

In the case of minor offenses a ticket is normally issued. The ticket gives two options: you can either pay the stipulated fine, which in effect means that you are admitting your guilt; or you can contest the ticket if you feel that you are not guilty of the violation. The same applies to major traffic violations, although these are more involved than simply being issued with a ticket. For serious, major traffic violations you can be arrested and even imprisoned after a court hearing if you are found to be guilty.

The words pilgrims and puritans are sometimes used interchangeably. are they the same?
vredina [299]

Answer: No

The words pilgrims and puritans are sometimes used interchangeably but they are not the same.

Puritans and Pilgrims both fled to America away from the Church of England. They are loyal to England and believed that the Church of England was one true church but they differ in the way they worship.

Pilgrims called Separatists were poor and fewer in number than the Puritans (called non-separating Congregationalists)

The Pilgrims strongly believed that the Church of England, and the Catholic Church, had went against the teachings of the Bible thus they break away and form independent congregations that follow strictly the divine requirements.

The Puritans believed that God expected them to live according to Christ’s teachings. They attempted to reform the Anglican Church but they had not been successful thus they began to look for a new home in the colonies and there practice their religious beliefs.
