Question
Can I please get some help to understand this question. I got it incorrect thank you.
Your aunt Carla is in her eighties. Her memory is fading.
You take her to a neurologist who diagnoses her with
Alzheimer's disease. In reality, she has vitamin
B12 deficiency. The neurologist formulated a diagnosis
too quickly because “Alzheimer's disease" was most
readily available in the physician's memory. This
reasoning mistake is caused by a(n)
heuristic.
