Hindsight bias may cause distortions of memories of what was known or believed before an event occurred and is a significant source of overconfidence in one’s ability to predict the outcomes of future events. [5] Examples of hindsight bias can be seen in the writings of historians describing the outcomes of battles, in physicians’ recall of ...
Mental events must occur in the working memory of short term-store. Both working memory and short-term memory are essential to mental events and cognition.According to Lieberman (2021), Baddeley and Hitch (1974) proposed that working memory consists of three distinct subsystems: what are called a phonological loop, a visuo-spatial sketchpad, and central executive.

There are a wide variety of explanations of why social events exist. Psychologist Robert E. Lana has summarized several of these: 1. A social event is exclusively part of the biological and behavioral characteristics of the human organism and is, therefore, predictable and potentially explainable by experimental analysis that excludes the historical.
Another potential example with behavioral differences is the FOXP2 gene, which is involved in neural circuitry handling speech and language. [98] Its present form in humans differed from that of the chimpanzees by only a few mutations and has been present for about 200,000 years, coinciding with the beginning of modern humans. [ 99 ]
For example, in order to override antecedent 2, gain the students’ attention and immediately request something (e.g., a high five), before praising them and providing positive reinforcement. [15] This intervention fits in with the idea of classical conditioning, [ 3 ] as the child is rewarded with positive affirmation when they complete a task.
