Retention and Transfer of Cognitive Bias Mitigation Interventions: A Systematic Literature Study

Cognitive biases can adversely affect human judgment and decision making should therefore preferably be mitigated, so that we achieve our goals as effectively possible. Hence, numerous bias mitigation interventions have been developed evaluated. However, to effective in practical situations beyond laboratory conditions, the effects of these retained over time transfer across contexts. This systematic review provides an overview literature on retention interventions. A search yielded 52 studies were eligible for screening. At end selection process, only 12 peer-reviewed remained adequately studied a period at least 14 days (all studies) or different tasks contexts (one study). Eleven relevant investigated training using game- video-based These 11 showed considerable overlap regarding studied, kinds interventions, decision-making domains. Most them indicated gaming after interval games more than video The study (next retention) found indications To circumstances, achieved cognitive lead enduring changes maker's behavior generalize toward other task domains Given small number overlapping studies, main conclusion is there currently insufficient evidence will substantially help people make better decisions real life conditions. line with recent theoretical insights about “hard-wired” neural evolutionary origin biases.
