Great job! These biases are really important and I don’t think we always think about how it can influence research but you did a great job explaining it. Since UMW students do so much research they are a great audience for this information and you communicated it well!
Hi Aiden,
Great job! This will help psychology majors when they are designing their method to be aware of and to account for these heuristics. It would be interesting to see the difference between heuristics in researchers and participants. This was very informative about the different types of heuristics which are important to be identified if they are happening in an experiment.
