Late perception bias to educational counselors (build and apply)

Abstract

Delayed cognitive bias is an action or act we unconsciously take to document the perspectives and information that feed those information we already have, while at the same time rejecting or ignoring opinions that threaten our view or convictions about the world and everything related to our beliefs and habits, even if  The information before us was logical and based on research and scientific facts, and the truth is that the bias of hindsight hinders the person from understanding the nature of what is going on around him, and then makes him reject change and consider him a threat to his security, inner peace and everything he believes in (Moses, 2014, p. 2).  Therefore, hindsight bias often distorts our thoughts and beliefs and overestimates the validity of the decisions we make (Passer, et.al, 2008, p.316). Kahneman sees that the hindsight bias is a mistake in thinking and occurs when individuals resort to the process of interpreting and interpreting the world around them and making decisions.  Decisions about them are often quick and not subject to thought, and at other times there is too rapid cognitive bias in the decision-making process, which leads to weak and bad decisions (Centeno, 2001:12).
