Key inquiry questions posed include whether human biases can be predicted, the ra...

This document explores the dual-process theory of cognition, distinguishing between System I (fast, automatic, intuitive) and System II (slow, deliberate, analytical) thinking. It includes activities to identify characteristics of both systems and apply real-world examples of cognitive biases such as Framing, Anchoring, and Confirmation. Participants engage in exercises like Wason's Selection Task to demonstrate confirmation bias, analyze scenarios for biases, and apply debiasing strategies. The document emphasizes the impact of framing effects on decision-making and compares the effectiveness of debiasing interventions, enhancing data literacy in high-pressure environments. Ultimately, it promotes metacognitive strategies for improved engagement with System II thinking.
