Cognitive Principles That Shape Decisions
Cognitive principles shaping decisions: bounded rationality from limited mental capacity, cognitive load that drains energy, and availability bias.
What was corrected
Article cited two entirely unverified studies with unverified statistics for real institutions, mischaracterized a real conceptual paper as an empirical study, and cited an inaccurate specific consent-rate statistic for a real, well-documented policy change.
Removed the unverified Virginia Mason and VHA/JAMIA citations while preserving the general, real dynamics they illustrated; corrected the Croskerry citation's framing to accurately describe his real conceptual paper; softened the Wales statistic to avoid citing an unverifiable specific figure while preserving the real, well-documented direction of the change.
Why this is better
The Thaler and Benartzi Save More Tomorrow citation in the same article verified as real and accurately described.
