what is hot cold cognition?
<|assistant|>
Hot cold cognition is the tendency to switch between thinking about an item in an abstract, conceptual way and in a more concrete, tangible way. It is related to the mental availability heuristic, which is the idea that when something is easier to imagine, it is also easier to think about. This phenomenon can lead people to overestimate how probable or familiar an idea is when it is actually rare or unfamiliar. Hot cold cognition can also influence decision making because it can influence what ideas and outcomes a person pays attention to.
