Webinar | Avoiding Cognitive Biases in Your Investigations
Objectivity is listed first out of all five Intelligence Community Analytics Standards in Intelligence Community Directive 203 2015, which illustrates the must for investigators to conduct their research without prejudice. Nevertheless, there are three common cognitive biases investigators might unconsciously run into – confirmation bias, availability bias, and clustering illusion.
This webinar will discuss:
- What cognitive biases are
- How the biases negatively impact your investigations
- How you can avoid them throughout the investigative process
