In response to a question, like “Which job is more damaging to one’s health: being a gas plant operator or dentist?”, someone may intuitively generate thoughts that lead to a seemingly automatic and quick judgment. After all, in the latest news, they’ve observed related events, vividly repeated over and over again. As a result, the episodes may just be more memorable—the dramatic instances are more easily retrievable and available. In this case, the person uses the availability heuristic—the process whereby judgments of frequency or probability are based on how relevant instances come to mind with ease. Unfortunately, their response is distorted, as dentists are more likely to be exposed to deadly diseases, infections, radiation, and prolonged sitting according to compiled data. While the availability heuristic can speed up decisions that may sometimes be accurate, be aware that such quick conclusions can also lead to incorrect reflections and overestimated contributions within the real world.
