• Thinking, fast and slow 

  Kahneman, Daniel (2012)

  Psychologist Daniel Kahneman reveals the truth about our intuitions and rationality to teach us how to better our lives. He explores the fascinating flaws and marvels of human behaviour and reveals to us the common errors ...
• Individual differences in rational and intuitive thinking styles as predictors of heuristic responses and framing effects 

  Shiloh,S,; Salton,E; Sharabi,D (2002)

  Two studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that heuristic responses can be predicted from variance in two ‘thinking styles', rational-analytic and experiential-intuitive, as defined by the cognitive-experiential ...
• Conditions for intuitive expertise: A failure to disagree 

  Kahneman, Daniel; Klein, Gary (2009)

  This article reports on an effort to explore the differences between two approaches to intuition and expertise that are often viewed as conflicting: heuristics and biases (HB) and naturalistic decision making (NDM). Starting ...
• Does brain structure determine your political views? 

  Harkness, Timandra (2014)

  Timandra Harkness investigates whether our political views are linked to the physical make-up of our brains.
• Decision-making and uncertainty: The role of heuristics and experience in assessing a politically hazardous environment 

  Maitland, Elizabeth; Sammartino, André (2014)

  Heuristics have long been associated with problems of bias and framing error, often on the basis of simulation and laboratory studies. In this field study of a high-stakes strategic decision, we explore an alternative view ...
• The pitfalls of premature closure: clinical decision-making in a case of aortic dissection 

  Kumar, B.; Kanna, B.; Kumar, S. (2011)

  Premature closure is a type of cognitive error in which the physician fails to consider reasonable alternatives after an initial diagnosis is made. It is a common cause of delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis borne out of a ...
• Errors/Biases in Clinical Decision Making 

  Lilienfeld, Scott O.; Lynn, Steven Jay (2014)

  Clinicians are subject to the same errors in thinking that affect virtually all people. In particular, practitioners must be wary of (a) the misuse of certain heuristics (e.g., availability, representativeness) and (b) ...
• Optimism bias in managing it project risks: a construal level theory perspective 

  Shalev, Eliezer; Keil, Mark; Lee, Jong Seok; Ganzach, Yoav (2014)

  Prior research has shown that people have a tendency to be overly optimistic about future events (i.e., optimism bias) in a variety of settings. In this study, we suggest that optimism bias has significant implications for ...
• The Flexible Correction Model: Bias Correction Guided by Naïve Theories of Bias 

  Chien, Yi-Wen; Wegener, Duane T.; Petty, Richard E.; Hsiao, Chung-Chiang (2014)

  Psychological researchers have examined a broad array of biases and shortcomings of social perceivers. Less attention has been paid to how people react when they become concerned about the possibility of bias and attempt ...
• Is Anchoring on Estimates of Severity an Adaptive Heuristic? 

  Losee, Joy (2014)

  Decisions to either to prepare or not prepare for weather threats involve uncertainty. Uncertainty in decision making often involves the potential for making either a false positive (preparing for a storm that never ...
• A Demonstration of the Anchoring Effect 

  Kopelman, Richard E.; Davis, Anne L. (2004)

  To guess is inexpensive; to guess wrong can be very costly. Ancient Chinese proverb. In this teaching brief, we describe a technique for demonstrating how cognitive heuristics subtly (and sometimes perniciously) affect ...
• Re-examining our bias against heuristics 

  McLaughlin, Kevin; Eva, Kevin W.; Norman, Geoff R. (2014)

  Using heuristics offers several cognitive advantages, such as increased speed and reduced effort when making decisions, in addition to allowing us to make decision in situations where missing data do not allow for formal ...
• Gigerenzer’s ‘external validity argument’ against the heuristics and biases program: an assessment 

  Polonioli, Andrea (2012)

  Gigerenzer’s ‘external validity argument’ plays a pivotal role in his critique of the heuristics and biases research program (HB). The basic idea is that (a) the experimental contexts deployed by HB are not representative ...
• Cognitive Biases and the Strength of Political Arguments 

  Arceneaux, Kevin (2012)

  Competition in political debate is not always sufficient to neutralize the effects of political rhetoric on public opinion. Yet little is known about the factors that shape the persuasiveness of political arguments. In ...
• Judgment under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases 

  Tversky, Amos; Kahneman, Daniel (1974)

  This article described three heuristics that are employed in making judgements under uncertainty: (i) representativeness, which is usually employed when people are asked to judge the probability that an object or event A ...
