Gli errori della mente: bias cognitivi ed euristiche

🧠 Immerse into the Mind's Labyrinth: Unveiling Cognitive Biases and Heuristics

Course Overview

What are Cognitive Biases?

These mental shortcuts are the result of evolutionary adaptations that have become ingrained in our thought processes, affecting both reasoning and behavior. Understanding these biases is crucial as they can lead to irrational decisions, errors in perception, and flawed problem-solving approaches.

The Extensive World of Cognitive Biases

Euristics: The Mental Pathways

Groundbreaking Research on Euristics

Course Highlights

• Exploring Common Cognitive Biases: We will delve into a variety of biases such as the "availability heuristic," "anchoring bias," and "the halo effect," to name a few. By examining these, we can recognize when our own thought processes might be leading us astray.

• Understanding Heuristics: We will explore the role of heuristics in decision-making and how they can sometimes lead to biases that skew our perception of risk, probability, and causality.

• Real-World Applications: From financial investments to interpersonal relationships, we will look at real-life scenarios where cognitive biases and heuristics play a crucial role in influencing outcomes.

• Mindful Approaches to Overcoming Biases: We will discuss strategies to become more aware of these mental pitfalls and how to counteract them to make better decisions.
