Recognizing and Resisting Cognitive Biases: An Introduction to Decision Education

Like all of us, young people’s minds rely on shortcuts - or heuristics - when they are forming judgments and making decisions. In general, these shortcuts are helpful – they decrease our mental load and increase our efficiency, usually without us even realizing it. However, the shortcuts often result in cognitive biases, a type of error in thinking when we are processing and interpreting information. The Cognitive Bias standards address how to recognize and resist cognitive biases to support better decision-making. Join us for an engaging course introducing the skills and concepts of effective decision-making. This free, publicly accessible course is adapted from our free training for K-12 teachers and is helpful for anyone interested in learning how to make informed, thoughtful decisions.
