In Group

In group gathers related phenomena into a wider family, such as the many named biases that share a common root. Wikipedia notes that "cognitive biases may sometimes lead to perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment, illogical interpretation, and irrationality," showing how many distinct effects spring from the same underlying tendency. Browsing this way helps a visitor see a phenomenon in its proper family rather than alone.

This research, called the heuristics-and-biases program, challenged the idea that human beings are rational actors and first gained worldwide attention in 1974 with the Science paper "Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases".
