Cognitive biases

Cognitive biases

Cognitive biases are maladaptive patterns of judgment, whereby inferences about other people and situations may be drawn in an illogical fashion. The example in this image depicts a common cognitive bias known as black-and-white thinking, in which someone may think in terms of false dichotomies of always/never or right/wrong with no room for grey areas in between.
