Question

Recent personal experiences often overwhelm us as they are etched in our memory and distort our judgments. This is identified as an example of the heuristic because the experiences are more likely to be readily brought to mind and to be easily accessible. True or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

The availability heuristic explains that we are likely to reccur to information that is easily available, especially when it's recently learned information or a belief we've held for a long time. This mental shortcut may lead to biased opinions and misjudgement.
