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.

Answer: overextension of words

Explanation:

When children are still around the age of three they may confuse the meaning of words. As a result they may use one word for different things which are not even related maybe because in their still developing mind they see some minor similarities.

For example a car and a bus both have wheels and travel on the road these similarities may cause a child to refer to them both as cars.

If there are these minor similarities that they observe between things, they are likely to use one word to name those things that show similarities.

This occurs because children haven't really grasped the use of langauge, definition of words and all its collect grammar.

What could a historian infer about the Maya from the codex pages
dezoksy [38]

The correct answer is that Mayan writing was in the form of images.

<em>A historian can infer about the Maya from the codex pages that Mayan writing was in the form of images. </em>

A codex is a scientific Mayan manuscript. The Maya codices are folding books dated from the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. The written style or images on the codex are formally known as a Maya hieroglyphic script. It is written on Mesoamerican paper taken from the wild fig tree named by the Mayas, Huun. The images on the codes and the many inscriptions on stone monuments called stelae relate the history, life, and culture of the Maya civilization.
