The availability bias is a cognitive bias where people make judgments and decisions based on the ease with which examples come to mind. This can lead to systematic errors in thinking and information processing, especially when highly vivid and rare events are more easily recalled. The Barnum effect is a related phenomenon where people believe generic and vague statements about themselves to be highly accurate, while continuous variable refers to a type of variable that can take on any value within a certain range. Post-hoc error and the fundamental attribution error are both separate cognitive biases from availability bias.
