Availability bias is a cognitive bias that occurs when people rely on information that is readily available to them, rather than considering all relevant information when making decisions or judgments. This bias can lead individuals to overestimate the likelihood of events or scenarios that easily come to mind due to their recent occurrence, vividness, or salience in memory, while underestimating the probability of less memorable events. Availability bias can skew perceptions and lead to faulty decision-making by placing undue weight on easily recalled information, regardless of its actual statistical significance or relevance to the situation at hand.
