What are cognitive biases?
Cognitive biases are systematic deviations from rationality or logic in decision-making and judgment. They arise from evolutionary, social, and cognitive factors, leading individuals to interpret information in biased ways that can result in errors and inaccuracies. These biases impact various aspects of life, from personal choices to societal dynamics, and understanding them is crucial for mitigating their effects. By recognizing common biases such as confirmation bias and availability bias, individuals can employ strategies like critical thinking and seeking diverse perspectives to make more rational decisions and navigate the complexities of modern life effectively.
