Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A strategy in which the likelihood of an event is estimated on the basis of how easily other instances of the event are available in memory is called the:
A
Availability heuristic
B
Availability algorithm
C
Representativeness heuristic
D
Representativeness algorithm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The availability heuristic refers to the tendency to assess the probability of an event based on the ease with which instances of that event come to mind. This heuristic has been investigated in a variety of domains and relates probability estimates to memory access.

Detailed explanation-2: -The representativeness heuristic involves estimating the likelihood of an event by comparing it to an existing prototype that already exists in our minds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The availability heuristic involves making decisions based upon how easy it is to bring something to mind.

Detailed explanation-4: -Heuristics, or “rules of thumb, ” are problem-solving methods that are based on practical experience and knowledge. They allow you to use a “quick fix” to solve a minor problem or to narrow down options. They’re also a great starting point for brainstorming or exploring new ideas.

Detailed explanation-5: -The availability heuristic occurs when we judge the likelihood of an event based on how easily we can recall similar events. If we can vividly remember instances of that event, we deem it to be more common than it actually is.
