Cognitive biases impact all of us, adults and young people alike, and they often lead our decisions in unintended directions. Decades of research have shown that by recognizing cognitive biases in ourselves and others, we can at least partially mitigate their impact on our decision-making. The menu of activities in this resource provide opportunities for students to learn about cognitive biases while experiencing them firsthand.

• Students experience common cognitive bias through classroom demonstrations, and begin to recognize the biases in themselves.
