Availability Heuristic
Cognitive Bias进阶
Definition
The tendency to judge the frequency or likelihood of events based on how easily examples come to mind.
Example
Because plane crashes are frequently covered in the news, many people think flying is more dangerous than driving, even though statistics show driving is more dangerous.
如何避免
不要仅凭印象判断概率,查看实际的统计数据。问自己:我的判断是否被媒体报道影响了?
