Category talk:Cognitive biases

Comments
In the introductory paragraph, where it reads: ...and drastically skew the reliability..., I think the term 'skew' should be changed to 'bias'. In a statsitical context, 'skewed' refers to the asymmetry of a distribution (the 'tail'). It is often mis-used in colloquial speak to mean 'biased'.

Body
I don't think 'body memory' belongs in this list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.95.111.47 (talk) 11:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Self reference effect
Why is the self reference effect listed under C and not S? --212.95.7.82 (talk) 20:57, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

The Barnum Effect is listed under F, either change the name to Forer effect (alternative name) or list Barnum effect under B. --212.95.7.82 (talk) 21:01, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Fixed. --212.95.7.82 (talk) 21:06, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Split into subcategories?
This category is rather large and unwieldy. Should we make sub-categories along the same lines as List of cognitive biases and move articles into those? Something like this? --Hob Gadling (talk) 09:01, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
