Spotting Cognitive Bias

Go to class Write review

Overview

You'll learn to spot the cognitive biases that quietly distort intuitive judgment—anchoring, framing, availability, confirmation, overconfidence, and the biases that skew how we judge people and commitments. You'll practice naming these biases in real decisions and applying concrete checks that make your recommendations more defensible.
