📝 Two Systems of Thinking – We have two modes of thinking: (list)
📚 System 1 (Fast): Quick, automatic, intuitive, and often subconscious thinking. (text resource)
📚 System 2 (Slow): Deliberate, logical, analytical, and conscious thinking. (text resource)
📝 Cognitive Biases – Our judgments and decisions are often influenced by biases, such as: (list)
📚 Anchoring: Relying too heavily on the first piece of information you encounter. (text resource)
📚 Availability Heuristic: Judging the likelihood of events based on how easily examples come to mind. (text resource)
📚 Substitution: Replacing difficult questions with simpler ones, leading to skewed decisions. (text resource)
📚 Prospect Theory – People value losses more than gains (loss aversion), leading to risk-averse or risk-seeking behavior depending on the situation. (text resource)
📚 Overconfidence Effect – We tend to overestimate our knowledge, abilities, and accuracy in judgments. (text resource)
📚 Framing Effect – Our decisions are influenced by how information is presented, even if it’s the same information. (text resource)
📚 Endowment Effect – People tend to overvalue what they own, influencing their choices and decisions. (text resource)
📚 Base Rate Neglect – We often ignore general statistics in favor of specific anecdotal information, leading to biased decisions. (text resource)
📚 Planning Fallacy – People tend to underestimate the time, costs, and risks of future actions and overestimate benefits. (text resource)
📚 Intuition vs. Reasoning – System 1 is useful for quick decisions in familiar situations, while System 2 is needed for complex, novel, or high-stakes decisions. (text resource)
📚 Loss Aversion and Framing in Economics – People’s behavior is often driven by how options are framed, whether in terms of losses or gains. (text resource)
📚 Hindsight Bias – After an event, people believe they knew the outcome all along, leading to skewed understanding and reasoning. (text resource)
📚 Slow Thinking Leads to Better Decisions – System 2 thinking, though slower and more effortful, leads to better outcomes in complex decisions. (text resource)
