Understanding Cognitive Bias Found In Judgement & Choice
summary
Claims that fast decision pressure produces predictable cognitive errors and that System One/System Two thinking explains why; live exercises show most people miss the gorilla (~50% miss rate) and undercount Fs (many report 3 vs correct 6), and a serial-add task breaks down under speed. Recommends runbooks, post‑mortems and practiced game days like chaos monkey to lower mean time to repair; practice turns effortful checks into reliable habits.
