Suppose that you are trying to decide whether to take a course from Professor Jones or Professor Smith. Your friends have made many positive comments about both professors.

You decide to take a course with Professor Jones, because today you heard more praise about Professor Jones. You are using
a. the availability heuristic.
b. the anchoring and adjustment heuristic.
c. the representativeness heuristic.
d. the recognition heuristic.

Question 2

In contrast to the representativeness heuristic, the availability heuristic

a. begins with a specific situation, and you must judge its likelihood.
b. begins with a set of assumptions.
c. involves recalling some examples of a general category.
d. is related to hindsight bias.

Question 3

Psychologists have published an article which shows that many U.S. residents avoided flying in airplanes after the 2001 terrorist attacks. In fact, for several months afterwards, many people decided to drive, rather than fly.

This phenomenon can best be explained by
a. the influence of recency on availability.
b. the conjunction fallacy.
c. the illusory-correlation effect.
d. too much emphasis on the likelihood ratio.
