Behavioral biases. Distribution is pretty normal, but 95 always rounds to 100.

Over-reliance on English hinders cognitive science: it has led to premature claims of universality (due to over-sampling of English speakers) and limited the cognitive constructs being examined (due to the use of English as a meta-language). doi.org/10.1016/j.tics…

Studies on the types of cognitive bias in surgery, their impact on surgical performance and patient outcomes, their source, and the mitigation strategies used to reduce their effect. Teodor Grantcharov pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36752583/

I replicated this (my screenshot below). Really great example of gender bias, for those of you who need a canonical example to make the point.

Interesting article on how psychology should not be more like medicine. Psychology should be like psychology. We contribute most to treating mental suffering by being first-rate psychologists, not by aspiring to be second-rate medical doctors psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psycho…

Well done to Fiona Kerray from everyone at BJS! A fantastic achievement👏👏👏

Daniel Kahneman, who changed psychology and economics forever, dies at 90. Thanks for everything. We remember him in 10 great quotes:

🚨 New in PNASNews 🚨 We find that people see more of their #biases in #algorithms' decisions than in their own #decisions, even when algorithms are trained on their decisions and when those decisions are the same. 1/n pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Like individuals, we argue that collectives can possess intellectual humility. Our new Trends in Cognitive Sciences paper explains who groups can achieve better decisions by catching each other's biases, expressing dissent, and more. We need to focus on building intellectual humble

🗣️ Decision-making environments must be aligned to fit adaptive human reasoning, as opposed to attempting to debias the human judge to completely eliminate any biased tendencies.
