Confirmation Bias and it's Particularly Evil Part in Nose Work Webinar - Purchase Recording

$40.00

What is confirmation bias? Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. It is a very human thing to do and there are cognitive reasons that we do it.

So why are we talking about it? Because it often plays a part in how we interpret our dogs’ behavior and problem solving skills in nose work. These biases can keep us from seeing what is really happening and can set up unrealistic expectations of not only how our dog should/will work a problem but also our own abilities to decipher what we are seeing in the search. These can both lead to inconsistencies in trialing and training and keep us focusing on the wrong things.
