Let’s take a look at the kinds of thought processes that can be affected by cognitive bias:
- Jumping to conclusions: Like guessing the end of a story from the start, cognitive bias might make us jump to conclusions without all the facts.
- Favoritism: Our brains might play favorites, leading us to prefer one thing over another, even without a solid reason.
- Sticking to beliefs: Sometimes, we want to keep our minds the same, no matter what new information we learn. That’s a cognitive bias at work too.
Cognitive bias is like a set of rules in your brain, sometimes leading us astray without noticing.
