Question

Answer 1

Answer: Availability heuristic

Step-by-step explanation:

The availability heuristic is including examples that are immediate and those examples that the person is using while considering some decisions, methods or topics. It is a helpful mental shortcut and people are using it by comparing received pieces of information and prototypes.

• Because of the immediate examples that those participants were studying, they will overestimate the films that they saw and not what they didn't.
