This Graphic Demonstrates 10 Cognitive Biases That Shape Our Thinking, With Examples.
Critical thinking is an important skill in this age of constant information (and disinformation), but our own subconscious biases don’t matter much when it comes to separating truth from viral nonsense . This figure shows some of these biases along with examples so you can see how common they really are.
We’ve covered some of these before, with a description of each one, but brief illustrated examples of each offset are especially helpful here. From the professor’s vision of the “curse of knowledge” in front of a class full of children, to the “Dunning-Kruger effect” where someone from a small championship tries to do something far beyond their ability or experience, every example is good and clean. Check out the entire picture below to see more examples (which you might even have caught from time to time), or click the link below.
