How Scientists Can Avoid Cognitive Bias
Cognitive biases have received some attention in recent years, thanks to books like “Thinking Fast and Slow,” “You Are Not So Smart, or “Blind Spot.” Unfortunately, this knowledge has not been put into action in scientific research. Scientists do correct for biases in statistical analysis of data and they do correct for biases in their measurement devices, but they still do not correct for biases in the most important apparatus that they use: Their own brain.
In this video, I tell you what cognitive biases are, what problems they cause in science, and what scientists can do against it.
I have further suggestions for how you can help in the appendix of my book, which you can read here:
