Answer:

The answer is the availability heuristic.

Explanation:

The availability heuristic is a mental short-cut that takes place when a person relies on immediately available, often recent information to justifiy their ideas or take decisions. In the example, when George notices his new professor was young, he was surprised because the only available information he had about psychology teachers was completely different.

This heuristic may result in poor decision-making and even <u>stereotyping</u>.

Answer: Available Heuristic

Explanation: Heuristic can simply be explained a problem solving or decision making technique which employs the use of mental shortcuts for making quick decisions. Decisions made using available Heuristic may not necessarily by rational, correct or perfect. However, they provide an immediate and quick answer to problems. Methods of available Heuristic include guesstimate, mental perception, trial and error or intuition.

George's surprise was due to the fact that previous psychologist he has seen were bearded, middle-aged men and was surprised on sighting a young woman in his first psychology class based on his use of available heuristic.

How did the geography and climate of the colonies affect the economy of the colonies (3-5 sentences)?
Paul [167]
Indigenous<span> cultures shaped, and were shaped by, the </span>geography<span> of North America. The first North Americans are believed to have </span>migrate<span>d from Siberia, in northeast Asia, by crossing a </span>land bridge<span> over the Bering Strait. These populations fanned out southward, to present-day Florida, California, Mexico, and Central America. </span>

<span>The Olmec and the Maya, indigenous to Central America, built the first cities on the continent, eventually leading to the great urban areas of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan. These cities, in what is now central Mexico, boasted </span>sophisticated engineering<span> structures, such as </span>canal<span>s, apartment buildings, and </span>irrigation<span> systems. </span>

<span>Many of these early North American cultures were scientifically and agriculturally advanced. Mayan calendars and </span>almanac<span>s recorded </span>celestial<span>events such as </span>eclipse<span>s and </span>seasonal<span> changes. The Mayans were also mathematically advanced. Their counting system was able to represent very large numbers using only three symbols: dots, lines, and a football-shaped symbol that indicated a zero. The Mayans were, in fact, the first culture to have a written symbol for zero. </span>

<span>Cultures throughout southern North America harvested corn, squash, and beans in regular cycles. This sort of </span>agriculture<span> allowed major </span>civilization<span>s to develop. People were no longer bound to produce food and shelter for their families—some people could work in the food and construction industries while others became engineers, artists, and political leaders. Leading North American civilizations include the Maya and Aztec, in what is now Mexico, and the Iroquois, native to southeastern Canada and the northeastern United States.  .................</span>
