What is the difference between cognitive biases and logical fallacies?
Cognitive biases and logical fallacies are distinct but related concepts that both involve errors in reasoning.
- Cognitive biases refer to inherent human tendencies toward specific erroneous thought patterns.
- Logical fallacies are errors in persuasive communication that undermine the validity or soundness of an argument.
Logical fallacies sometimes result from, or appeal to, cognitive biases.
