Attractiveness bias: A cognitive explanation

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017
AbstractAccording to cognitive averaging theory, preferences for attractive faces result from their similarity to facial prototypes, the categorical central tendencies of a population of faces. Prototypical faces are processed more fluently, resulting in increased positive affect in the viewer.

Cognitive bias in software engineering

Communications of the ACM, 1995
Developer's thought processes are a fundamental area of concern. Cognitive scientist have discovered that people's intiative inferences and probality judgments do not strictly conform to the laws of logic or mathematics, and that people are willing to provide plausible explanations for random events. This article examines the role these phenomena might

Cognitive Bias in Inpatient Pediatrics

Hospital Pediatrics, 2014
The contribution of cognitive bias toward diagnostic error has been well documented.1–7 Previous research exploring the effects of these cognitive pitfalls centers on examples from internal and emergency medicine, but it is fair to presume that pediatric hospitalists remain equally vulnerable to such cognitive error.8 To improve the overall awareness ...

The construction and the initial validation of the Cognitive Bias Scale for the Personality Assessment Inventory

Clinical Neuropsychologist, 2019
Objective: This study describes the derivation and initial validation evidence of a novel Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) scale designed to be sensitive to cognitive response bias, as defined by poor performance on performance validity tests (PVTs)

Cognitive bias in network services

Proceedings of the 11th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks, 2012
The assumption of rationality is fundamental to large part of network economics literature. In this paper, we use a simple definition of rationality based on economic self-interest and test for such behavior using real data on how users purchase and consume mobile network services.

Cognitive bias in health leaders

Healthcare Management Forum, 2017
Cognitive bias can be a serious impediment to rational decision-making by health leaders. We use a hypothetical case study to introduce some basic concepts of bias with examples of mitigation strategies. We argue that the effect of biases should be considered when making every significant administrative decision.

A risk-based approach to cognitive bias in forensic science.

Science & justice : journal of the Forensic Science Society, 2019
Over the past decade, the potential impact of cognitive bias in forensic science has instigated much discussion and debate between academics, scientists and those in the justice sector.

Toward a Design Space for Mitigating Cognitive Bias in Vis

Visual .., 2019
The use of cognitive heuristics often leads to fast and effective decisions. However, they can also systematically and predictably lead to errors known as cognitive biases. Strategies for minimizing or mitigating these biases, however, remain largely non-

Confirmation and Cognitive Bias in Design Cognition

Volume 7: 9th International Conference on Design Education; 24th International Conference on Design Theory and Methodology, 2012
The desire to better understand design cognition has led to the application of literature from psychology to design research, e.g., in learning, analogical reasoning, and problem solving. Psychological research on cognitive heuristics and biases offers another relevant body of knowledge for application.

Quantum cognition and projection bias

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
The innovative application of quantum mechanical concepts of probability to cognitive science has provided new, meaningful ways to more accurately model human decision making. Leveraging the dynamic geometric principles associated with the mathematics of quantum theory, we use the idea of probability interference to explain projection bias and its ...
