Cognitive Biases

/in /by

This paper will explore cognitive biases in decision making. Much of decision making is automatic and subject to errors and biases. Kahneman and Tversky are well-known for characterizing numerous cognitive biases and received the Nobel Prize for this work. They posit a dual-process theory of decision making that suggests we use two different modes or systems of processing that are characterized by automatic, error-prone thinking versus more effortful, accurate thinking. These are called System 1 and System 2 (or Type 1 and Type 2). Your paper will address the following:
1.Define, describe, and give examples of three cognitive biases and heuristics.
2.Describe Kahneman’s dual-process theory of decision making, Type 1 and Type 2 processing (i.e., System 1 and System 2), and how this model accounts for cognitive biases.
3.What can be done to ameliorate cognitive biases, and to shift from Type 1 to Type 2 processing? Examples of possibilities include training in mindfulness or in statistical reasoning.

Janet Kourany, “A New Program for Philosophy of Science, in Many Voices”

Reading: Janet Kourany, “A New Program for Philosophy of Science, in Many Voices”
Consider the first aspect of masculine science that Kourany discusses: the dominant metaphors guiding our conceptions of the aim and methods of scientific research, including dominance over nature, objectivity, competitiveness, and so on. Kourany points out that these notions have tended to be received or thought of in terms of common gender stereotypes that are harmful to women. Kourany concludes that these common notions need to be criticized and, perhaps, rejected in a reformed and gender-egalitarian version of science. In your response, address the following questions: Do you agree with Kourany that these notions (or guiding metaphors) ought to be criticized, reformed, or even rejected to ensure that science is gender-egalitarian? Or do you think that these notions (or guiding metaphors) can be retained in a gender-egalitarian version science? Defend your response.
