Confirmation bias refers to the tendency to seek, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms preexisting beliefs or expectations, while ignoring or downplaying contradictory evidence.
This cognitive bias affects how people gather and process information, making them more likely to notice and believe evidence that supports their views while dismissing opposing information.

Information Booster:
-Availability Heuristic: Judging the likelihood of events based on how easily examples come to mind.
-Representativeness Heuristic: Estimating the likelihood of an event based on how similar it is to a prototype.
-Anchoring and Adjustment Heuristic: Relying heavily on the first piece of information (anchor) when making decisions, then adjusting from that point.
-Recognition Heuristic: When faced with multiple options, people tend to choose the one they recognize more easily.
-Affect Heuristic: Making decisions based on emotional reactions or feelings rather than logical analysis.
-Simpson's Paradox: A trend appears in several groups of data but disappears or reverses when the groups are combined.
-Escalation of Commitment: The tendency to continue investing in a failing course of action due to prior commitments.
-Satisficing: Choosing an option that meets the minimum criteria, rather than the optimal solution.
-Status Quo Bias: The tendency to prefer things to remain the same rather than change.
-Framing Effect: People’s decisions are influenced by how a situation or problem is presented.
-Conjunction Fallacy: The error of assuming that specific conditions are more probable than general ones.
-Bandwagon Effect: The tendency to adopt beliefs or actions because many others have done so.
-Simulation Heuristic: Judging the likelihood of an event based on how easily one can imagine it happening.

Additional Information:
(b) Self-Serving Bias: The tendency to attribute successes to oneself and failures to external factors (e.g., “I passed because I studied well” vs. “I failed because the test was unfair”).
(c) Attribution Bias: Errors in attributing causes to behaviors, such as fundamental attribution error, where people overemphasize personal traits and underestimate situational factors.
(d) Hindsight Bias: The “I-knew-it-all-along” effect, where people perceive past events as more predictable after they have happened.
