You Are Not So Smart

166 - Prevalence Induced Concept Change (rebroadcast)

In this episode we explore prevalence induced concept change. In a nutshell, when we set out to change the world by reducing examples of something we have deemed problematic, and we succeed, a host of psychological phenomena can mask our progress and make those problems seem intractable -- as if we are only treading water when, in fact, we’ve created the change we set out to make. ||| Show Notes at YouAreNotSoSmart.com |||<a href="http://patreon.com/youarenotsosmart">Patreon: http://patreon.com/youarenotsosmart</a>

You Are Not So Smart is a show about psychology that celebrates science and self delusion. In each episode, we explore what we've learned so far about reasoning, biases, judgments, and decision-making.
