If you are not good at making choices – how do you overcome your biases and make better decisions? In the video, we explore five biases and how to mitigate their effects on us.
A cognitive bias refers to a systematic pattern of deviation from rationality or objective judgment in human thinking. It is a tendency for the human mind to make errors in processing information, often resulting in subjective judgments and decisions that deviate from logical or evidence-based reasoning.
Biases can be like Jedi mind tricks; they can work for and against us. These cognitive shortcuts can cause us to make flawed decisions, so how can you make better decisions by minimising bias?
Cognitive biases affect various aspects of our thinking, including perception, memory, attention, and decision-making. Our brains use them to process information quickly, but they can lead to errors and distortions in our understanding of the world.
At Thinking Focus, we believe that metacognition (or, as we prefer to say, thinking about thinking) influences everything we do. We aim to help you understand how you think so you can recognise thought patterns and develop strategies to change or mitigate unhelpful thought patterns. Biases are heuristics (cognitive shortcuts) that our brains create to lighten the cognitive load, enabling us to cope with the demands we face in today’s high-paced, complex world.
