I see and experience mindbugs all the time whether I know they happened or not. One of the most common mindbugs I face everyday is availability heuristic mindbug. This mind bug happens when you are given events and which event gets more media coverage and you hear more about you assume it must happen more. An example of the availability heuristic mind bug is when you hear on the national news that a group of white police officers shot and killed an unarmed black citizen somewhere in the country‚

The danger‚ of course‚ is that you leave this belief unchecked and start to act as though it were true. Confirmation bias occurs from the direct influence of desire on beliefs. When people would like a certain idea/concept to be true‚ they end up believing it to be true. They are motivated by wishful thinking. This error leads the individual to stop gathering

Since the inception of the study of the mind‚ psychologists have endeavored to isolate the characteristics and causes of errors in human thinking. Researchers and theorists have developed categories of such errors: representativeness heuristics‚ availability heuristics‚ memory and hindsight biases‚ etc. . . . In other words‚ to err is human.

The question we where asked by Professor Gilbertson‚ was to focus on a decision and evaluate it using any two of the following biases that where listed below. I chose availability heuristic biases related to representative heuristic. The availability heuristic is based upon convenience.The simplest heuristic to us is based upon available memory(Tversky and Kahnemann‚1973).What people remember will often guide their decision.
