Domain-Specific Use Cases for Knowledge-Enabled Social Media Analysis (2018, background): “Additionally, cognitive biases occur because of the way the questionnaire is phrased or administered, and this can prevent participants from giving truthful responses [12].”
Machine learning and deep learning (2021, background): “A cognitive bias is an illogical inference or belief that individuals adopt due to flawed reporting of facts or due to flawed decision heuristics (Haselton et al. 2015).”
Microsoft Academic Graph: When experts are not enough (2020, background): “…the most important impetus for MAS redesign is our observation that intelligent technologies, when used inappropriately, could inadvertently incorporate and amplify the well-documented cognitive biases (Haselton, Nettle, & Andrews, 2015) in humans that lead to seriously negative impacts to society.”
Toward An Integration of the Behavioral and Cognitive Influences on the Entrepreneurship Process (2016, background): “Research increasingly suggests that cognitive biases may even be hardwired into the brain’s architecture and are the outcome of species-spanning evolutionary processes (Haselton, Nettle, and Andrews, 2005; Santos and Rosati, 2015).”
Human- versus Artificial Intelligence (2021, background): “originate from functional evolutionary principles promoting the survival of our ancestors who, as hunter-gatherers, lived in small, close-knit groups (Haselton et al., 2005; Tooby and Cosmides, 2005).”
