Unraveling Confirmation Bias: How Our Beliefs Shape Our Perspectives

Confirmation bias is a cognitive bias that leads people to interpret, remember, or search for information in ways that confirm their preconceptions or hypotheses. Here are some common things people use as confirmation bias:

Selective Exposure: People tend to expose themselves to information sources and media that align with their existing beliefs.

Selective Perception: They interpret ambiguous information in a way that supports their beliefs.

Selective Retention: People remember information that confirms their existing beliefs better than information that contradicts them.

Cherry-Picking Data: They selectively choose data or examples that support their viewpoint while ignoring or dismissing data that contradicts it.

Seeking Like-Minded Individuals: People often engage with communities or social groups that share their beliefs, reinforcing their existing views.

Misinterpreting Statistics: Individuals may misinterpret statistical data to support their preconceived notions.

Overvaluing Personal Experience: Personal anecdotes and experiences are given more weight than they should be in forming opinions.

Ignoring Expert Opinion: Dismissing expert opinions or scientific consensus when it contradicts one's beliefs.

Confirmation in Social Media Echo Chambers: Social media algorithms often expose users to content that aligns with their views, creating echo chambers where confirmation bias thrives.

Biased Information Search: When researching a topic, people may conduct biased searches, seeking out sources that confirm their beliefs.

Emotional Attachment: Emotional attachment to one's beliefs can make it difficult to consider alternative viewpoints objectively.

Attribution Error: People often attribute their successes to their abilities and their failures to external factors or situations, confirming their self-beliefs.

Groupthink: In group settings, individuals may conform to the group's beliefs to avoid conflict or maintain group cohesion.

Being aware of these tendencies is the first step in mitigating confirmation bias and promoting more open-minded and critical thinking.

"The magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some limits on our capacity for processing information," (Miller 1956)

"I have been persecuted by an integer. For seven years this number has followed me around, has intruded in my most private data, and has assaulted me from the pages of our most public journals. This number assumes a variety of disguises, being sometimes a little larger and sometimes a little smaller than usual, but never changing so much as to be unrecognizable...Either there really is something unusual about the number or else I am suffering from delusions of persecution." ----"we simply increase the number of alternative stimuli among which he must discriminate and look to see where confusions begin to occur. Confusions will appear near the point that we are calling his 'channel capacity.'"

In addition, the core information-processing configuration of the brain (the downward peak, P300) was poorly defined; the depth of the wave determines how well we are able to take in and analyze new data.

Visual Thinking

Have to adapt to Predominantly verbal communication culture in society

verbal processing communication culture requires effort

Convert verbal language into imagery to verbal understand communications

May struggle with long sequences of verbal information

May find it more difficult +o organise visual thoughts when under pressue

Need processing time to conceptualize visually what is being said verbally, then actively creating a verbal response

—————

Visual thinking has a component-are things that others miss

minds that are like oceans of images

Make rapid fire associations

Numbers and Algebra can be abstract

Word based thinking can be a second language to

Details jump forward - notice things that seem off kilter immediately on entering a space

can be late talkers

Deconstructing to learn

See Images In their eyes mind

Struggle with traditional teaching methods

Problem solvers

Photorealistic images-Cinematic-Short Films

Often doesn't require directions when traveling

May thrive in practical based activities

Look at the world from another persons point of view

society not created for Visual thinkers

For many the scam might seem fairly straightforward. If it looks like your child is in trouble, you help them without a second thought. That's because scammers have zeroed in on the mental shortcuts we make every day, Dr Lacey says. In psychology it's called heuristics: the mental steps we take to simplify problems and avoid cognitive overload. "One of the vulnerabilities to us all is that as human beings, we cut corners when we're processing information," he says. "We will see things in our environment or hear things and then we'll go 'oh, that's that' and we won't wait for (any more information) and act."

In the early 1990s novel brain-imaging techniques opened up undreamed-of capacities to gain a sophisticated understanding about the way the brain processes information.

the only thing i can say is to just be fucking kind and patient with others during all of this. it’s an intense subject that makes people heated for good reason but can we just not completely mercilessly rip into each other while we’re all just trying to process the same information

#this is really all i can say on the subject #have a little compassion #if you feel the urge to send an aggressive message to somebody maybe. don’t. nobody is happy about what’s going on #lashing out at anyone you think is processing this information in the Wrong Way is not constructive #if somebody genuinely has a shitty opinion please just block them #cw discourse
