- We are going to be explaining 12 cognitive biases in this video and presenting them in a format that you can easily understand to help you make better decision in your life. Cognitive biases are flaws in logical thinking that clear the path to bad decisions, so learning about these ideas can reduce errors in your thought process, leading to a more successful life. These biases are very closely related to logical fallacies, which may help you win an argument or present information better.

You forgot last one.
9:05 Blind Spot bias
Learning how to critically think was the best and worst thing to happen to me. Yes, it made me smarter, but it made me realize how stupid the world really is.
It's a bummer, you discover how messed up the world is because of human attitudes. We are a small tribe, not appreciated for our knowledge, but the world needs us to keep the balance.
Can you recommend any sources on learning about critical thinking?
Seeker 7 speak your mind out, listen to new ideas or opposite postures and compare them with yours. Criticizing everything works too, but only if your are willing to be open to new ideas. Sorry for my bad english
How do you know you didn't just substitute an old bias with a blind spot bias? :)
This sounds like a blind spot bias? Lol
0:18 Anchoring Bias (1st information disproportionately influence later jugements. Related to contrast effect)
1:22 Availability Bias (Focusing on what you know / what is shown. Lack of perspective)
2:22 Bandwagon Effect (Aka group thinking. Doing like the others, social pressure)
3:09 Choice Supportive Bias (A choice unknowingly becomes cue of superiority and feed filtering effects. Fanboys, religion, partisanism)
3:50 Confirmation Bias (Only searching for proofs aligned with point of view. Misinterpret contradictory evidences to support current world view)
4:30 Ostrich Bias (Ignore or rationalize negative information)
5:20 Outcome Bias (Base the effectiveness of a decision on its outcome, neglecting other factors. Basis for superstition. See fooled by randomness or the drunkard's walk.)
6:12 Overconfidence (Stop making decision based on facts after a series of successes)
6:52 Placebo Effect (The belief of an outcome improves its likeness. I'm not sure why it's classified as a bias)
7:44 Survivorship Bias (Only taking into account the positive outcomes, which gives irrelevant correlations)
8:32 Selective Perception (Ostrich + Confirmation combined?)
9:08 Blindspot Bias (Thinking that we are less biased than the next folk)
Thanks
Outcome bias is also known as hindsight bias
Thanks
Where can i learn all this
@@geraldmakori6627 in the video
The 5th bias is so confirmed with me! For example, each time I finish a show, a movie or an anime, I'll be looking for a confirmation of my opinion about those. If I dislike a work, unconscously I wanna be reassured in my choice.
wow.....that was really stupid......hows that.......
@@billygnosis6976 You don't need this list as you just effortlessly gno things, right? Gnosis is the oldest conspiracy theory ever recorded. Haha. As in the ploy of insisting
"Everything you've ever been taught is wrong"
it's as old as narcissism.
@@veronica_._._._ how do yo mean? I am a confused as to your point.
@@billygnosis6976 Gnosis: mystical or esoteric knowing.
At least you are aware of it, which means you can actively work on it.
Criticizing and being honest with oneself is key of resisting our biases. Also knowing them and understanding them very well to spot them whenever we fall into one of them. Having friends who always tell you that you're biased when you're biased, smart trust worthy ones, also helps. Our biases are a cancer that we cannot fight alone.
Talha TETBIRT the tip to becoming a better person, get more money, fix an addiction, is to change the envorinment. For example, you want to become wealthier? Get better friends, because that will make you more productive. We as humans, are a reflection of our own enviroment
Personally I agree with everything there, but I think that there should also be some small bit of forgiveness for some bit of bias simply because it's human to be biased sometimes, and not just simply as a cancer (such as if somebody had a bias that counteracts a fact then an external or internal intervention would be needed, but since most biased are developed due to cultural/environmental influence or personal experience that affects someone's development into their perception/worldview/identity that everyone goes through to simply live and exist, then maybe some heuristic should be balanced out together with logic).
The real bias, is the bias against 'biases'. In real time, these biases/heuristics lead directly and indirectly into new insights. For example, with confirmation bias, it helps serve as empirical evidence towards what we believe . For example, with confirmation bias if "we tend to confirm information we believe" through multiple lines of information, in a certain situation, then there is probably something factual about what we believe, and we know its safe to spend more time on rigorously justifying/proving it. Where as linear thinkers tend to miss on the opportunity. That is a tenant of EMPIRICISM - NOT A BIAS. There is a difference between using a bias to make a quick and impulsive decision in a trivial situation, for which there is little at stake, and using a sense of our biases (in harmony with rationality) towards solving critical problems. In effect, these anti-bias proponents are merely talented straw-man engineers; mostly achievement < IQ types and graying anglophiles who indulge in a deluded sense of intellectual worth.
What if you haven't done anything wrong? Some people do manage to get well and get on with their lives.
Fat friends will keep you fat. It's true.
Dangerous stuff
Actual as never. But take into account the 13 type: "bias bias bias" - when you think you can avoid bias by knowing that you are also experiencing some bias.

Here's a list of recommended books for detailed understanding of the biases:

2. Cognitive Illusions - A Handbook on Fallacies and Biases in Thinking, Judgement and Memory
Edited by Rüdiger F. Pohl
3. The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli
"Mistakes were made but not by me" is a good one too.

@@__-yz1ob There is evidence to support this view, with Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq reporting the highest number of terrorist attacks nationally in 2018. Overall, 2018 saw just over 8,000 terrorist attacks worldwide, and around 33,000 fatalities from terrorism.
Have you read all three of them?
I've read the last one art of thinking clearly. Would love hearing from you on how you liked all these books
I have worked with a lot of medical scientists and to my surprise, most of them have at least one of these biases. These biases, in addition to publication bias, greatly impact what we believe as Science and this is alarming. It is time for the scientists to be educated on these biases and they should be empowered to find the truth instead of the pressure to publish paper.
I haven't seen the hard numbers, but I've heard that smart people are just as susceptible, and in some cases even moreso, to many if not most of these biases.
Faith in science is a bias itself.
@@MAX-tw3qz ^ stupidity bias.
You missed the point. Everyone has these biases periodically. You don't just have one of them.

#10 is something I always tell people when they say “there’s so much rubbish music around these days.” It was always so, it’s just that time has filtered out the poor music and what’s left after this sifting is the “better” or longer lasting / more familiar tunes.
That actually sounds right. I thought it was also because the tunes of your youth are familiar to you. They are the preset standard you use to judge music in your head and you're comfortable with those sounds. You know them and understand them better than the lyrics and sounds of another generation. It's like living in your house with a twin sized bed. If you stay the night at a friend's in another twin size but the firmness is different you might be uncomfortable....that's been my perception.

Love the video and good job on the research Ismonofftv! Keep up the good work guys!
Glad you enjoyed :D
Great stuff. The selective perception bias was most interesting. I can immediately see the implications in business context and how you present information. Thanks
I like how fast you talk and how you get right to the point. I'm someone with little patience for "fluff" content, so I appreciate getting just the facts.
WOW -- AMAZING -- INTELLIGENT. I, for one, am fascinated with psychology, decision making, critical thinking, and now biases. Your video is one of the best that I've seen in quite some time. Your narration is spot on, and your examples/definitions of each bias are precise. I like the whimsical approach to covering what some would think is a boring topic. GREAT WORK, and thank you for sharing your time and wisdom.
I'm a mostly self taught artist. "you don't know what you don't know" is my creed. That's why I welcome constructive criticism. Interesting to see another person use it.
just read art books and you'll know what you don't know
@@eldrickzero4885 Yeah, I do, and watch tutorials. There are those books that cover theory and explain how to do stuff and those are very useful to me but there are others that just show you stages of a work with a little caption underneath and they aren't very useful to me but they are numerous so you have to separate the wheat from chaff. Similarly, I prefer tutorials over time lapse videos. It's the way I am, I need to know the why of things.
Switched on dude! Good job, this is great content here. You think super smart! 🌟
Thank you for putting the list in the description as well! it makes sense but few channels actually do it. cheers!
I love the effective use of limited colors on the graphics. Brilliant summary of an import set of information indeed!
Thanks for your feedback!
Hey man! Your channel is full of knowledge and useful psicological tips which everyone can improve, train, and be happier, as I am now! Thanks for those, they're awesome!

I like how you talk quickly and get to the point without a lot of blah blah blah. Good video!
You chose a lot of really great examples, and not ones most people know. Great job.
"If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?" This is a common question, used to challenge a decision based on the bandwagon effect. It challenges someone to consider whether something is really a good idea, even if everyone else does it (in this case, friends). The sentence is, upon closer analysis, a straw man attack that over-extrapolates the bandwagon effect.
Outcome bias is very prevalent in minor league hockey, which was something I figured out before I even knew what cognitive biases were. Someone would do something wrong and end up scoring, but rather than being criticized by the coach, their actions were perceived as good because they scored from it.
i love this video, thanks for summarizing the items with easy to follow animation!
Man, that was a lot of information in a very short amount of time. I love Psychology, but this is really gonna take some time to fully understand it.

The part about confirmation bias confirms my opinions about confirmation bias as so I totally agree with it :)
I like your style: clear, direct, and unpretentious.

A few of these sound very similar to each other. Several of these cognitive failures result in ignoring and disputing evidence that contradicts your views. Choice Supportive Bias, Anchoring Bias, Confirmation Bias, Ostrich Bias all seem geared toward defending the opinion you have.
Terrific. This stuff is so interesting. I feel like a person with a solid grasp of these things would have a significant edge. Or, would go mad from having to deal with people who have no grasp of them.
Thank you so much for sharing. Clear and very informative. Keep up the great work.
What if you have a combination of plcaebo and ostrich bias?I think is the worst combination because it can trap you in a loop of believing that you will achieve something but not doing anything to achieve it.Simply a lazy dreamer.
Lost
why is that a bad thing? A hard working realist? that's not fun
"Selective Perception ... I like this one"
Great Video!!! Great information and great examples!!! This helped me in my College Critical Thinking for Business class!! Thanks!
Thanks for the video. The selective bias is fascinating!
Bias isn't a bad thing, it's a trait of logic that will never go away, and will never not be used in any decision. The only thing about biases is to not let them control your thinking completely, and recognize to which degree a bias is forming your opinion.
bias prohibits critical thinking, which is crucial for advancement of research in ANY field.
@@kyanovp1915 BIAS is underlying program and it is very good to recognize
Bias is NOT a trait of logic 🤪
The fact you think bias has anything to do with logic just shows you understand nothing about the nature of logic. Go take a philosophy course and you will find out how dumb that statement is.

Thank you for teaching us critical thinking in much-needed times.
Critical and objective. Objectivity is just as important
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it and helped me understand the different bias behaviors.
I really appreciate this video. Good work.
Now, you're a pretty smart guy and you can take some constructive criticism, so I hope you understand I mean this in a good way. It's just two points:
1. These explanations were really good, and the title describes exactly what the video is about, but I miss the practical side. Usually I wouldn't be an ass about this, but since this channel is called Practical Psychology I did miss some ways to recognise and/or fight the biases.
2. I think at the placebo / nocebo part you could have gone further, into self-fulfilling prophecies. I've experienced some pretty bad effects of these in my own life and I think it would be nice to have some more information and tips on them. But maybe that's too far off topic.
Other than that I think the video is pretty good.
+HarryYese awesome, thanks for the feedback!
HarryYese the placebo/nocebo effect can impact you postively or negatively. It actually played a large role in "self-improvement" for some because after being told that doing X will make you be come a better person yada yada. they will "experience" the benefit even if it cannot be proven, such as giving offerings to their God or church and after that they felt "blessed" or luckier than before.
Well yes Data ´can´ be bad but ones own experiences are very narrow EG. Once a dog bit me , do I conclude from that all dogs will bight me, taking a look at dog attack statistics would tell in fact that serious dog attacks are extremely rare.
There was a sign I would see for about 2 years driving over state lines, but it read "A pitbull killed our elderly grandmother!" Just propaganda, I've seen plenty of pitbulls in Chi and Mil to not feel like they're going to all attack me based on what the sign was attempting to infer. I was more likely to be shot by a police officer doing the job I had, which was breaking into houses on behalf of the banks that owned the house after the tenants couldn't afford the mortgage. Or had a reverse mortgage... Eugh.
To me your not describing what I understood to be "gut reaction" rather Knowledge of canine behaviour, I think I get what your trying to say though ; Funny thing is I´m quite afraid of flying according to statistics flying is the safest way to travel doesn´t help me much knowing that either. Still I believe knowledge and statistics maybe with a bit of intuition can be useful in determining a course of action ;-) Have a nice day.
Hey can you make a video about the bystander effect? I feel like people should know about it.
Great direct to the point reference video. Thanks for the effort
just found out about this, now I'm contemplating life decisions!!!!
I just realised i came here to confirm what i already know🤦♂️
😂🤣😂
😂😂
The bandwagon effect is interesting. It can actually be quite logical to accept the opinion of the group. First of all you may trust the opinion of the group more than your own. Second you may not care to put in the effort to arrive at your own conclusion but it may be troublesome for whatever reason to simply not have an opinion on the matter. Third we are social creatures and it rarely pays to be the sole naysayer in a group, being accepted may be more important than being right.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
It helped my exam so much. But its not the only reason i love it, it gave me new perspective of life. Thanl u

I actually force myself to have a choice supportive bias to make myself not regret anything in the future.
Choosing your laptop, smartphone, piano or even your college requires a lot of planning and research (at least for me).
So once I've made choice, I'm like screw it I've made the best choice.
Hey, great channel. Any chance you'll do a piece on logical fallacies?
Very well-explained, thank you!

Ever thought about doing a series on these things, following on from this video? Take each one in turn and do a video, looking in more depth at each bias and then examining ways in which they've hindered a situation and looking at ways in which that hindrance can be avoided ... that sort of thing?
Just an idea... Enjoy!

probably means you need to get up to speed with the world LOL
Damn, English is not my native language and I could understand perfectly.
Great! Thanks for getting to the point instead of droning on and on.
So true, thanks for the reminders.
It's important to recognize biases and do our best to make decisions based on empirical data. But just because our thoughts and decisions are biased doesn't mean that our process for making it is necessarily poor.
For example, outcome bias is one of the best decision-making methods available, because the interaction of variables within complex or chaotic systems makes it impractical or impossible to make good, data-based decisions when there are enough unknown variables.
It is much more beneficial to cultivate a sort of "chaos intuition" so that we can consciously or unconsciously recognize the patterns that have led to desired outcomes, and do our best to replicate those conditions. Confirmation bias and selective perception can be similarly beneficial, as long as we're willing to fit our beliefs and perceptions to our experience of objective reality, however imperfect or subjective that experience is.
Obviously, the more objectively informed our opinions and decisions are, the more reliable they will be. But we should recognize that gaps in knowledge or the impracticality of data collection may make it necessary to rely on imperfect, subjective cognitive processes. This really isn't a huge barrier if we're intentional about cultivating these processes to our advantage.

I guess I have a bias against having to put a name to every thought in my head.
Lot of bull crappy. terrorists killed an average of 21,000 people worldwide each year.
As someone who struggles with escapism, I particularly fall too deep when encountering the Ostrich bias. Hate it so much since it also goes along with "feelings" (or what my brain wants to feel/expect) despite outcomes not meeting what l envisioned.
