CONTACT:Louise White
DESCRIPTION:It is widely assumed that humans are deeply irrational and tha
 t biases and errors in human reasoning\, judgment\, and decision-making ab
 ound. However\, evidence for some of the most widely accepted 'flaws' is s
 urprisingly weak. With case studies\, the talk will illustrate the importa
 nce of rational standards in understanding human cognition and it will dem
 onstrate methodological limitations in applying them that have led to misp
 erceptions of how rational (or not) human beings are.
