Cognitive biases are a collective term for human biases in perception, memory, thinking and judgments.
Although cognitive biases mostly remain on the unconscious level, they are systematic distortions.
No one can free themselves from being subject to cognitive biases. On the contrary, cognitive biases are a part of our day-to-day life and they can be very useful because they help us to quickly retrieve information, deal with excess information, structure our perceptions and help us make a decision. But it is necessary to be aware of these biases in order to understand and critically question our own actions, memories and decision-making processes.
