Introduction: In lesson 2, I explained that it’s easier to remember specific cognitive biases when you create a story around it. It’s a hook for your brain, and makes it easier to recall the bias compared to memorising dry facts.
Purpose: There are too many biases to remember, but at least make sure you remember a couple specific biases. When others are asking you to explain what you’ve learned in this course, or when you are talking to others about cognitive biases, you have a story at the ready!
Activity:
Pick a specific bias you want to create a story around
Find out more facts about this bias and see if you can find a story of how someone was affected by this bias. Or, even better, maybe you have experienced the effects of a bias yourself? That would make for an even better story!
If you feel comfortable, share the story below. Don’t forget to mention which bias your story is about 
Test your knowledge at a later time, can you recall the story the next day? The next week?
Example from me: Like I explained in the lesson video, I’m suffering from the confirmation bias when I think that a vegetarian diet is superior. There are certain health risks attached to it (low iron, vitamin B12) that cannot be forgotten, but I’m prone to think that those risks will not happen to me. When I read news articles about how being a vegetarian is good for your health I’m very inclined to believe them, without thinking about the risks! It’s still possible to eat a garbage diet as a vegetarian, so it’s not healthy by default, you still have to make the correct choices.
