Neuro-Evolutionary Bias Framework
report
The present report serves to provide a systematic overview of the large number of cognitive biases (> 200) that have been identified so far. The two main groups of biases are based on their primary origin: neural or evolutionary. Each of these overall groups of biases is sub divided into several (sub-)categories, based on underlying working principles. These principles determine the nature and origin of the multitude of cognitive biases. This explanatory framework is consistent with vested neuroscientific knowledge on the working of our brain as a neural network and with the underlying principles of evolutionary psychology. It can be used as a basis for more insight into the origins of biases and on new ways to mitigate them.
