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.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

To the north and west of Ancient China were two of the world's largest deserts: the Gobi Desert and the Taklamakan Desert. These deserts also provided borders that kept the Chinese isolated from the rest of the world. This is why the Great Wall of China was built to protect the Chinese from these northern invaders.

A student reported that a limp stalk of celery became crisp when placed in ice water if a hypothesis is shown to answer several
Bezzdna [24]
Thank you for posting your question here. It can be considered to be consistent with the given facts. As you know, an hypothesis, much less a theory, is never proven. It can be shown to be consistent with given observations. As new observations are collected, the given hypothesis may have to be modified.

If the celery became crisp when it was soaked in ice water, then clearly that the water has rehydrated the celery is a reasonable hypothesis. But did it have to be ice cold water? Would room temperature water work? What about boiling water?

And thus most of the time, the success of an hypothesis leads to the design of new experiments to test and expand the original hypothesis.
