Confirmation bias | Looking for evidence to support a preconceived opinion, rather than looking for information to prove oneself wrong |
Diagnosis momentum | Accepting a previous diagnosis without sufficient scepticism |
Framing effect | Making a decision based on the positive (or negative) way in which situation presented |
Overconfidence bias | Over-reliance on one’s own ability, intuition and judgement |
Premature closure | Similar to ‘confirmation bias’ but more ‘jumping to a conclusion’ |
Self-satisfying bias | The ‘eureka’ moment that stops all further thought |
