Memory biases

Adrenaline

Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and medication which is involved in regulating visceral functions (e.g., respiration).

See Choice-supportive bias and Adrenaline

The amygdala (amygdalae or amygdalas; also corpus amygdaloideum; Latin from Greek, ἀμυγδαλή, amygdalē, 'almond', 'tonsil') is a paired nuclear complex present in the cerebral hemispheres of vertebrates.

See Choice-supportive bias and Amygdala

Attribution (psychology)

Attribution is a term used in psychology which deals with how individuals perceive the causes of everyday experience, as being either external or internal.

See Choice-supportive bias and Attribution (psychology)

Autobiographical memory

Autobiographical memory (AM) is a memory system consisting of episodes recollected from an individual's life, based on a combination of episodic (personal experiences and specific objects, people and events experienced at particular time and place) and semantic (general knowledge and facts about the world) memory.

See Choice-supportive bias and Autobiographical memory

Buyer's remorse

Buyer's remorse is the sense of regret after having made a purchase.

See Choice-supportive bias and Buyer's remorse

Cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals.

See Choice-supportive bias and Cerebral cortex

Choice

A choice is the range of different things from which a being can choose.

See Choice-supportive bias and Choice

Cognitive bias

A cognitive bias is a systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment.

See Choice-supportive bias and Cognitive bias

Cognitive dissonance

In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is described as the mental disturbance people feel when their cognitions and actions are inconsistent or contradictory.

See Choice-supportive bias and Cognitive dissonance

Cognitive science

Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary, scientific study of the mind and its processes.

See Choice-supportive bias and Cognitive science

Confabulation

In psychology, confabulation is a memory error consisting of the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world. Choice-supportive bias and confabulation are memory biases.

See Choice-supportive bias and Confabulation

Confirmation bias

Confirmation bias (also confirmatory bias, myside bias, or congeniality bias) is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. Choice-supportive bias and Confirmation bias are memory biases.

See Choice-supportive bias and Confirmation bias

Decision-making

In psychology, decision-making (also spelled decision making and decisionmaking) is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several possible alternative options.

See Choice-supportive bias and Decision-making

Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm

The Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) paradigm is a procedure in cognitive psychology used to study false memory in humans.

See Choice-supportive bias and Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm

Emotion

Emotions are physical and mental states brought on by neurophysiological changes, variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure.

See Choice-supportive bias and Emotion

Episodic memory

Episodic memory is the memory of everyday events (such as times, location geography, associated emotions, and other contextual information) that can be explicitly stated or conjured.

See Choice-supportive bias and Episodic memory

Escalation of commitment

Escalation of commitment is a human behavior pattern in which an individual or group facing increasingly negative outcomes from a decision, action, or investment nevertheless continue the behavior instead of altering course.

See Choice-supportive bias and Escalation of commitment

False memory

In psychology, a false memory is a phenomenon where someone recalls something that did not actually happen or recalls it differently from the way it actually happened. Choice-supportive bias and false memory are memory biases.

See Choice-supportive bias and False memory

Forebrain

In the anatomy of the brain of vertebrates, the forebrain or prosencephalon is the rostral (forward-most) portion of the brain.

See Choice-supportive bias and Forebrain

Functional magnetic resonance imaging

Functional magnetic resonance imaging or functional MRI (fMRI) measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow.

See Choice-supportive bias and Functional magnetic resonance imaging

Glucocorticoid

Glucocorticoids (or, less commonly, glucocorticosteroids) are a class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones.

See Choice-supportive bias and Glucocorticoid

Hormone

A hormone (from the Greek participle ὁρμῶν, "setting in motion") is a class of signaling molecules in multicellular organisms that are sent to distant organs or tissues by complex biological processes to regulate physiology and behavior.

See Choice-supportive bias and Hormone

Insular cortex

The insular cortex (also insula and insular lobe) is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus (the fissure separating the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes) within each hemisphere of the mammalian brain.

See Choice-supportive bias and Insular cortex

Lady Macbeth effect

The supposed Lady Macbeth effect or Macbeth effect is a priming effect said to occur when response to a cleaning cue is increased after having been induced by a feeling of shame.

See Choice-supportive bias and Lady Macbeth effect

List of cognitive biases

Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of deviation from norm and/or rationality in judgment.

See Choice-supportive bias and List of cognitive biases

Memory

Memory is the faculty of the mind by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed.

See Choice-supportive bias and Memory

Mental operations

Mental operations are operations that affect mental contents.

See Choice-supportive bias and Mental operations

Occipital lobe

The occipital lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals.

See Choice-supportive bias and Occipital lobe

Peripheral neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy, often shortened to neuropathy, refers to damage or disease affecting the nerves.

See Choice-supportive bias and Peripheral neuropathy

Positivity effect

The positivity effect is the ability to constructively analyze a situation where the desired results are not achieved, but still obtain positive feedback that assists one's future progression. Choice-supportive bias and positivity effect are memory biases.

See Choice-supportive bias and Positivity effect

Positron emission tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique that uses radioactive substances known as radiotracers to visualize and measure changes in metabolic processes, and in other physiological activities including blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption.

See Choice-supportive bias and Positron emission tomography

Questionnaire

A questionnaire is a research instrument that consists of a set of questions (or other types of prompts) for the purpose of gathering information from respondents through survey or statistical study.

See Choice-supportive bias and Questionnaire

Social psychology is the scientific study of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others.

See Choice-supportive bias and Social psychology

A social relation is the fundamental unit of analysis within the social sciences, and describes any voluntary or involuntary interpersonal relationship between two or more individuals within and/or between groups.
