Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Grandma Grace's decision making is influenced by the availability heuristic, which means that she is basing her decision on the most easily available information, which in this case is the recent airplane crash she heard about. She is assuming that the same thing will happen to her on her future flights, even though such incidents are rare.
