The role of cognitive biases in conspiracy beliefs: A literature review

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Study of the Psychology of Religion

“…Cognitive biases play a pivotal role in shaping religious beliefs and experiences (Gagliardi 2023). Integrating cognitive models and computational simulations allows researchers to examine the influence of cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, availability bias, and attribution bias, on the formation and maintenance of religious beliefs (Gagliardi 2023).…”

“…Cognitive biases play a pivotal role in shaping religious beliefs and experiences (Gagliardi 2023). Integrating cognitive models and computational simulations allows researchers to examine the influence of cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, availability bias, and attribution bias, on the formation and maintenance of religious beliefs (Gagliardi 2023). A deeper understanding of how cognitive biases interact with other cognitive processes is possible through these simulations, which contribute to the structure and resilience, or susceptibility, of religious belief systems (Williams et al 2022).…”
