The article discusses cognitive biases, specifically focusing on errors of attention, which impact how we perceive and interact with information. It highlights that our ability to concentrate is limited, making first impressions (primacy effect) and recent information (recency effect) influential in our judgments. Additionally, it touches on decision fatigue, explaining how repeated decision-making can degrade the quality of our choices. The article further explains the fundamental attribution error, illustrating the difference in how we judge others versus ourselves, underlining the complexities of human cognition and biases.
When making successive decisions, our judgement becomes poorer and poorer, a phenomenon known as decision fatigue, which reflects our cognitive limitations.
Cognitive biases, such as the fundamental attribution error, reveal how we misjudge others' behaviors based on traits while rationalizing our own based on circumstances.
The primacy effect demonstrates our tendency to place undue importance on first impressions, while the recency effect highlights the influence of recent information on our judgments.
Errors of attention, such as the primacy and recency effects, show how cognitive limitations can skew our perceptions and decisions.
