Additive Bias

	Additive Bias Additive bias is the tendency that prompts solving problems from a wrong or non expected way. It is a cognitive urge/ tendency of human beings facing problem that they add resources instead of taking or subtracting. According to Keith Holyoak, "Humans seeks to strengthen an argument or a manager seeks to encourage desired behaviour, thus requires a mental search for possible changes. Leidy Klotz conducted a series of laboratory experiments, demonstrating how, when faced with a problem, subjects were more likely to add elements rather than subtract, even where subtraction would have led to a better solution.

picture info	Human Beings Humans (''Homo sapiens'') or modern humans are the most common and widespread species of primate, and the last surviving species of the genus ''Homo''. They are great apes characterized by their hairlessness, bipedalism, and high intelligence. Humans have large brains, enabling more advanced cognitive skills that facilitate successful adaptation to varied environments, development of sophisticated tools, and formation of complex social structures and civilizations. Humans are highly social, with individual humans tending to belong to a multi-layered network of distinct social groups — from families and peer groups to corporations and political states. As such, social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, languages, and traditions (collectively termed institutions), each of which bolsters human society. Humans are also highly curious: the desire to understand and influence phenomena has motivated humanity's develop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Keith Holyoak Keith James Holyoak (born January 16, 1950) is a Canadian–American researcher in cognitive psychology and cognitive science, working on human thinking and reasoning. Holyoak's work focuses on the role of analogy in thinking. His work showed how analogy can be used to enhance learning of new abstract concepts by both children and adults, as well as how reasoning breaks down in cases of brain damage. Holyoak is also a poet. He has published four collections of his own poems, ''My Minotaur'', ''Foreigner'', ''The Gospel According to Judas'', and ''Oracle Bones'', as well as a collection of translations of classical Chinese poetry by Li Bai and Du Fu, '' Facing the Moon''. Biography Holyoak was born in Langley, British Columbia, Canada, in 1950. He received his B.A. in psychology from the University of British Columbia in 1971, and his PhD in psychology from Stanford University in 1976. His doctoral advisor was Gordon Bower. He was on the faculty of the University of Michigan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Leidy Klotz Leidy Klotz (born July 14, 1978) is an American scientist and author who studies and writes about design and problem-solving. He is a professor of engineering and architecture at the University of Virginia. Klotz has published in scientific journals including ''Nature'' and ''Science'' and in other publications such as ''The Washington Post'', ''Harvard Business Review'', ''Fast Company'', and ''The Globe and Mail''. He is also the author of two popular books: ''Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less'' (2021), which discusses design and problem-solving, and ''Sustainability through Soccer'' (2016), a work about systems thinking.

	List Of Cognitive Biases Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of deviation from norm and/or rationality in judgment. They are often studied in psychology, sociology and behavioral economics. Although the reality of most of these biases is confirmed by reproducible research, there are often controversies about how to classify these biases or how to explain them. Several theoretical causes are known for some cognitive biases, which provides a classification of biases by their common generative mechanism (such as noisy information-processing). Gerd Gigerenzer has criticized the framing of cognitive biases as errors in judgment, and favors interpreting them as arising from rational deviations from logical thought. Explanations include information-processing rules (i.e., mental shortcuts), called ''heuristics'', that the brain uses to produce decisions or judgments. Biases have a variety of forms and appear as cognitive ("cold") bias, such as mental noise, or motivational ("hot") bias, such as when bel ...
