- Availability Heuristic.

Explanation:

The availability heuristic is described as the general approach or tendency to make evaluations or judgments based on the instant examples that a person can recall at the moment and giving significance to the recalled(available) information only and ignoring the other(unrecalled) substitute solutions which however leads to make the judgment biased and unreliable.
