The “availability heuristic” is the related concept that the more easily people can think of example, the more often they think it happens. For example, people think murders occur all the time because of news coverage and television shows, but far more people die because of suicide.
Another example could be that a lot of people see other people use iPods so people think they are very popular, so more people buy it, and it becomes more popular.
availability is when a heuristic is judged or decided based on information that is the easiest to retrive from your memory.an example is when in the video people were asked if there were more words that started with the letter k than k being the third letter from the word, and all of them said that there are more words that start with the letter k,but it was wrong. they only focused on words that they could remember started with the k than k being the third letter from the word.
availability heuristic can also be when someone falls for something because they think everyone else is. An example of this is when people buy a song that has been bought the most even though it may not be good
