Cognitive Bias Episode 3 - Availability Bias

Episode 3 of the series on cognitive bias! 

There are a few of the different cognitive biases that have a powerful influence on how you think, how you feel, and how you behave. Each episode will touch on a different bias. So make sure you tune in to them all!

This week Peter and Mirta talk about the Availability Bias, which is the human tendency to think that examples of things that come readily to mind are more representative than is actually the case. Naturally, the things that are most memorable can be brought to mind most quickly. However, there are a number of factors that influence how well we remember things. For example, we tend to remember things that we observed ourselves more easily than things that we only heard about.

If your enjoying the series and getting value out of the episodes please remember to share it around!

The hosts also love to hear any feedback or answer questions you may have, so feel free to send them a message!
