How to overcome the availability heuristic

  • Always consider base rates when making judgments about probability.
  • Whenever possible, base your judgments on trends and patterns—the longer term, the better.
  • Take the time to think before making a judgment. Stop and go through the relevant information, rather than assuming whatever comes to mind first is correct.
  • Don’t rely on memory. Keep track of information you might need to use in a judgment far off in the future.
  • Go back and revisit old information.
