And it’s about how good or bad something or someone feels. 1 Essentially, your affect (a psychological term for emotional response) plays a critical role in the choices and decisions you make.” “The affect heuristic is a type of mental shortcut in which people make decisions that are heavily influenced by their current emotions. The first step to avoid this bias is to know it exists, right, and maybe have a baby pause before we make our decision and think about why we’re making it. So we recall the strongest facts, the most biggest memories. We like shortcuts because it’s less energy. This happens because our brains need shortcuts. And that means we aren’t making our decisions logically. This is due to the availability heuristic, which suggests that singular memorable moments have an outsized influence on decisions.”Īnd this sucks because bad memories are easier to remember than good ones. The vivid memory of having lost that project likely weighs more heavily on the decision to promote Jane than it should. However, in Jane’s first year, she unwittingly deleted a company project when her computer crashed. Both have a steady employment record, though Jane has been the highest performer in her department during her tenure. “Imagine you are considering either John or Jane, two employees at your company, for a promotion. It’s basically memorable moments that are made influence our decisions in ways that they shouldn’t. The availability heuristicĪccording to the Decision Lab, the availability heuristic is a bias that “describes our tendency to use information that comes to mind quickly and easily when making decisions about the future.” Let’s check out these effects by analyzing ten cognitive biases that shape our world today.” Well, because as Sid says, “Being aware of our cognitive biases helps to recognize their power in shaping our thoughts, opinions, attitudes and the decisions we make. Sid got me thinking about all the ways we make decisions based on wrong assumptions or biases.Īnd I just wanted to talk about the first two this week and maybe make this a series. There’s this guy named Sid who wrote about cognitive biases over on Medium.
