The following article provides 50 cards with Biases (interesting to @micheleminno for An idea for gamifying lessons on cognitive biases in Digital Citizenship classes):
It was posted to LinkedIn by Abhay Johorey who highlighted a couple of new biases:
In the name of self-awareness, here’s a closer look at 3 recently discovered biases that we are most prone to exhibiting in the modern world.
Automation Bias :
AI-infused applications are becoming incredibly good at “personalizing” our content, but will there come a time when we let algorithms make all of our decisions?
Automation bias refers to the tendency to favor the suggestions of automated systems. Finding a new favorite series on platforms like Netflix may require some good old-fashioned human curiosity & not the algos.
The Google Effect :
Also known as “digital amnesia”, the aptly named Google Effect describes our tendency to forget information that can be easily accessed online.
Because search engines are continually available to us, we may often be in a state of not feeling we need to encode the information internally. When we need it, we will look it up.
The IKEA Effect :
This refers to our tendency to attach a higher value to things we help create.
Combining the Ikea Effect with other related traits, such as our willingness to pay a premium for customization, is a strategy employed by companies seeking to increase the intrinsic value that we attach to their products.
