Question:

What is 3 cognitive biases

Author: Gen Bailey



Answer:

Contextual bias: Occurs when irrelevant information about an event, or the way in which some information is presented, influences reasoning. E.g. Stereotyping. Confirmation bias: Occurs when people interpret information, or look for new evidence, in a way that confirms their pre-existing beliefs or assumptions. Role Effects: This can exist where experts identify themselves within adversarial judicial systems as part of either the prosecution or defence team. This may introduce a subconscious bias that can influence decisions, especially when some ambiguity exists.
