Many people underestimate the proportion of heart attacks that are not fatal because they are not as memorable as heart attacks that result in death. This illustrates the shortcoming of relying on.

Availability heuristic

Explanation:

The availability heuristic estimate the frequency of events and define the likelihood with these frequencies. In other words, the likelihood of an event is based on how easy it is for the person to remember a similar event. People tend to remember only events that are more devastating than those with little damage because it is easier to remember more events that have more impact.

Many people underestimate the proportion of heart attacks that are not fatal because they are not as memorable as heart attacks that result in death. This illustrates the shortcoming of relying on the availability heuristic.

Explanation:

The availability heuristic is a mechanism (mental shortcut) that the mind uses to determine how likely it is that an event will occur or not, it is based on the recurrence of associated memories or immediate examples associated with that topic or event . Events that are common to us will be easier to remember than events that are not common or less usual, but there are also other reasons that make some things more available than others, such as impact.
