Addition of Fluency Heuristic
edit"Fluency Heuristic" or similar appears to be missing from the list.
In contrast to the "Rhyme as Reason", the Fluency Heuristic applies to a wider set of statements beyond those that rhyme but also have an increased ease of cognitive processing (eg catchphrases), as is supported by the information on the page dedicated to the Fluency_heuristic. Thus, it appears to be an omission on the main list of cognitive biases.
Suggest adding it in the List of cognitive biases#Truthiness section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minogully (talk • contribs) 19:10, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
Agency bias
editDoesn't seem to be included - maybe I missed it. Could start with this paper on Motion, identity and the bias toward agency. Shtove (talk) 08:34, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Could this be a synonym of agent detection bias? Paradoctor (talk) 12:23, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Gender Bias - Ambiguous
editIt is unclear if it is referring to sex bias (biological) or gender bias (social role) . It appears to conflate the two which would evolutionary result from very different pressures and result in different presentations. For instance, a male choosing to present as female may or may not inherit certain biases. No support given either way. Perhaps change to "sex bias" or "gender (sex) for clarity as it appears that is the bias being referenced. 209.213.173.27 (talk) 05:34, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- The linked article states that
Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender
, so the conflation is not an editorial mistake, but a feature of the topic. Paradoctor (talk) 06:01, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
