The own-anchor effect concerns the assimilation of judgments other people's external characteristics such as age, weight, and height toward estimator's own characteristics. phenomenon is related to theories social projection classical anchoring. It has previously been described an estimation bias in studies eyewitness accuracy measured by correlation between estimates participants' correspondin...

The localisation of the determinants of the body axis during Drosophila oogenesis is dependent on the microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton. Mutations in the actin binding proteins Profilin, Cappuccino (Capu) and Spire result in premature streaming of the cytoplasm and a reorganisation of the oocyte MT network. As a consequence, the localisation of axis determinants is abolished in these mutants. It is...

In 7 different studies, the authors observed that a large number of thinking biases are uncorrelated with cognitive ability. These thinking biases include some of the most classic and well-studied biases in the heuristics and biases literature, including the conjunction effect, framing effects, anchoring effects, outcome bias, base-rate neglect, "less is more" effects, affect biases, omission b...

Several strands of research have aimed to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence (AI) and human decision-makers in AI-assisted decision-making, where humans are consumers AI model predictions ultimate high-stakes applications. However, people's perception understanding often distorted by their cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, anchoring availability name a few. In this work, ...
