Brain Tricks Us
Neuroscientist Albert Moukheiber explains our brain often tricks us into thinking we're correct.
“Nous avons souvent tort sans nous en rendre compte”
Brain Speed Causes Errors
Our brain processes information too quickly, leading to partial perception and memory errors.
“Notre perception est partiale, notre attention est limitée, notre mémoire est infidèle”
Why We Think We're Right
We often overestimate our abilities and struggle to recognize our mistakes.
“Plusieurs analyses ont établi un lien entre une erreur d'appréciation et des déficits de compétences métacognitives”
Motivation Skews Truth
When we want to be right, we favor information that supports our beliefs and ignore contradictory evidence.
“La motivation à l'exactitude favorise l'utilisation des croyances et des stratégies jugées les plus appropriées”
