Learned Helplessness

I feel like Learned Helplessness should be somewhere on this list, but I don't know enough about the subject to be comfortable adding it. Tristyn^{^⌘} 18:17, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A cognitive bias may be involved in the phenomenon, but learned helplessness itself is not a cognitive bias. Actually, it is rational not to expend effort that can reasonably be expected to be wasted. Paradoctor (talk) 22:53, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Anthropocentrism

@Gaia Abundance Life: This is a list class article. Notice how each point only includes a very short summary with a link to the relevant article. I suggest adding your material to Anthropocentrism instead and to only add a single sentence here if necessary. Thanks, —Paleo Neonate – 19:54, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List Length Effect Link Suggestion

Currently the List Length Effect entry of the list has a note for Further Explanation Needed. It seems like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_recall is related to List Length Effect. Since List Length Effect doesn't redirect to another larger entry I suggest that List Length Effect should be linked to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_recall until a complete article on List Length Effect is made.

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of cognitive biases. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20090117084058/http://www.usc.edu/projects/matherlab/pdfs/Matheretal2000.pdf to http://www.usc.edu/projects/matherlab/pdfs/Matheretal2000.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 10:33, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
