Detailed explanation-1: -The availability heuristic makes assumptions based on recent information or events because it makes a fresh or lasting impression on the mind. Representative heuristic makes assumptions based on superficial similarities or patterns in events, whether recent or dated.
Detailed explanation-2: -Representative heuristic is where people use existing memories to identify associated characteristics of an object or a person. By contrast, the availability heuristic is where we use existing memories to identify the likelihood of an outcome occurring.
Detailed explanation-3: -The availability heuristic makes us estimate the likelihood of an event based on our ability to recall similar events, while the representativeness heuristic makes us estimate the probability of something based on the degree to which it resembles (or is representative of) a known situation.
Detailed explanation-4: -The availability heuristic involves estimating the probability of an event outcome on information readily available to the individual. The representativeness heuristic involves estimating the probability of an event outcome on how similar the event is to the norm or on a typical event representing the situation.
