Part 3 in my series on Heuristics and Biases, based on Daniel Kahneman's book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. This one covers the Anchoring Effect, which not only biases our estimates of numbers, but can affect our ability to perceive new information.

MakingHistory
Making History is the top-level thing I do, as a historian, teacher, and writer. I create content, based on either original primary research or to present the findings of other historians to my students. This channel will cover several topics (arranged in playlists) such as note-taking, research, and writing tools and techniques, history I'm teaching at Bemidji State University, research and writing projects I'm working on, Open Education techniques and resources I'm creating, and reflections on the ways that history helps us understand our current world.
