Availability heuristic: availability heuristic refers to how easily something that you"ve seen or heard can be accessed in your memory. People tend to think of things they remember as more important than things they don"t remember as easily. A romantic relationship may grow because a person you"ve seen comes to mind after you"ve left them, leading you to assume this person must be important. In the same way, new friendship possibilities might have been overlooked because a person you"ve met several times has never seemed familiar, or they didn"t make an impression on you. Anchoring heuristic: refers to the human tendency to accept and rely on, the first piece of information received before making a decision.
