This book provides an in-depth discussion of cognitive bias, what it is, and how it has been observed over time; it also covers the development of schemas in children, and expertise development.
Cognitive bias refers to systematic errors in thinking that depart from the rules of formal logic or accepted norms. Understanding cognitive bias requires some background knowledge of cognitive processes that contribute to how humans receive and interpret perceptual information, how people learn and how they develop expertise, and how expertise shapes the processes people use to solve classes of problems. Cognitive bias is a well-established psychological phenomenon. It has been empirically observed across time, among many different populations both outside and within forensic practice, in studies using multiple research methods, and in a wide range of circumstances. Schemas are hypothetical knowledge structures that are created through experience in the environment. The child’s schema develops from her experience with the environment, and changes with additional experience. Schematic knowledge also forms the basis of all forms of expertise. Expertise development involves three stages of skill acquisition. (Published Abstract Provided)
