Abstract: The aim of this study was to initiate the exploration of debiasing methods applicable in real-life settings for achieving lasting improvement in decision making competence regarding multiple decision biases. Here, we tested the potentials of the analogical encoding method for decision debiasing. The advantage of this method is that it can foster the transfer from learning abstract principles to improving behavioral performance. For the purpose of the study, we devised an analogical debiasing technique for 10 b… Show more

“…68,69 In addition, using 'analogical' training (teaching students about statistical biases) researchers were able to create a lasting effect in students' ability to avoid bias in specifi cally designed questionnaires up to 4 weeks later. 70,71 However, the effect was varied, and specifi cally statistical biases were the most effected by teaching intervention, whereas other biases were not. Given the range of potential bias in medicine, this limited effect is an important drawback.…”

“…11,15 The attempt to develop specific strategies to counter particular biases has led to a considerable fragmentation of the research field, leaving doubts about the worth and necessity of debiasing. 9,10,[16][17][18] The criticism is mainly rooted in the absence of longitudinal effects, 11,16,19 a neglect of the existing evidence base, 16 and a lack of ecological validity since most debiasing research has been conducted in a controlled laboratory setting. 9,16,18 A further critique is the missing theoretical coherence 11 and the use of vague labels instead of precise definitions, with the latter aspect referring to debiasing and the heuristics and biases program alike.…”

“…At the same time, there appears to be a revival of the debiasing discussion 5,17,27,28 with a significant amount of primary research on health-related debiasing currently emerging. 24,[30][31][32][33] If debiasing research wants to substantiate its claim to contribute to the improvement of healthrelated decision making, 16 conducting research in a ''one-shot'' manner 22 is, however, not enough. Instead, a more systematic approach that builds on previous research and addresses the prevailing criticism is needed.…”

“…To overcome these unwanted effects of cognitive biases, debiasing interventions were designed and tested. Debiasing techniques aim at eliminating, reducing, or reversing detrimental effects on judgment and decision making caused by cognitive biases [ 36 - 40 ]. Taking into account the underlying causes for the occurrence of those biases, one can differentiate between motivational, cognitive, and technological debiasing techniques [ 39 ].…”
