  2. List of cognitive biases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

    Probability matching: Sub-optimal matching of the probability of choices with the probability of reward in a stochastic context. Pro-innovation bias: The tendency to have an excessive optimism towards an invention or innovation's usefulness throughout society, while often failing to identify its limitations and weaknesses. Projection bias

  3. Texas sharpshooter fallacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy

    It is related to the clustering illusion, which is the tendency in human cognition to interpret patterns where none actually exist. The name comes from a metaphor about a person from Texas who fires a gun at the side of a barn, then paints a shooting target centered on the tightest cluster of shots and claims to be a sharpshooter.

  4. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    In computer science, pattern matching is the act of checking a given sequence of tokens for the presence of the constituents of some pattern. In contrast to pattern recognition , the match usually has to be exact: "either it will or will not be a match."

  5. Pattern recognition (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_recognition...

    In psychology and cognitive neuroscience, pattern recognition is a cognitive process that matches information from a stimulus with information retrieved from memory. [1]Pattern recognition occurs when information from the environment is received and entered into short-term memory, causing automatic activation of a specific content of long-term memory.

  6. Production system (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_system_(computer...

    Production systems may vary on the expressive power of conditions in production rules. Accordingly, the pattern matching algorithm that collects production rules with matched conditions may range from the naive—trying all rules in sequence, stopping at the first match—to the optimized, in which rules are "compiled" into a network of inter-related conditions.

  7. Rete algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_algorithm

    The Rete algorithm is widely used to implement matching functionality within pattern-matching engines that exploit a match-resolve-act cycle to support forward chaining and inferencing. It provides a means for many–many matching, an important feature when many or all possible solutions in a search network must be found.

  8. Selective exposure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_exposure_theory

    In this study, increasing cognitive activity led to a decreased impact of physical appearance and selective exposure on the individual's impression of the idea presented. This is explained by acknowledging that we are instinctively drawn to certain physical attributes, but if the required resources for this attraction are otherwise engaged at ...

  9. Decision-making - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision-making

    The process was based on extensive earlier research conducted with psychologist Irving Janis. [48] GOFER is an acronym for five decision-making steps: [49] Goals clarification: Survey values and objectives. Options generation: Consider a wide range of alternative actions. Facts-finding: Search for information.
