Some of which may be replicated.
I'd be tempted to down-vote myself for snarky trolling except that I work in the field of psychological research, and perhaps it is my bias, but many of the cognitive biases that came from social-psychology research do not stand up to scrutiny, too frequently resulting from bad statistical practice...at least two decades ago.
- mycl 7y agoCan you expand on that? My impression is that Kahneman and Tversky "proved" that human cognition is not Bayesian and now much of cognitive psychology is turning around and saying, no, they didn't, and it is. As a layperson, I don't know whom to believe.
- reallydontask 7y agoRichard Nisbett claims that with training a lot of the biases can be overcome (I'm paraphrasing) There is an interesting course of his on Coursera ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/mindware https://www.coursera.org/learn/mindware)
- raxxorrax 7y agoAs someone who had pseudo-scientific anti-bias techniques applied on myself as an infant, I tend to agree. Now that may actually be real bias... I believe many biases listed here can substantiate themselves.
