Cognitive Bias Reference List

An older list of research on cognitive bias. Most sources before “fake news,” and “misinformation” were hot topics.

Also derives heavily from the intersection of educational psychology, cognition research, and reading comprehension research.

I need to update it but the whole fake news thing kinda bummed me out. It was like you told everybody to get ready but nobody listened.
