When We Trust Our Intuitions

lawyer errors in reasoningI’m very happy to have an article, “When Lawyers Trust Their Intuitions” in the current issue of Canadian Lawyer’s e-magazine.  Although the research I discuss was done with lawyers it is relevant to anyone who wants to make better decisions.

Read the article to learn about four different faulty cognitive strategies:  The framing effect, confirmation bias, nonconsequentialist reasoning, and the sunk cost fallacy.

Have you ever made a bad decision because you relied on one of these?  Leave me a comment below.
