Define cognitive bias. Choose two types of cognitive bias and explain how they inhibit critical thought. Demonstrate how you would use critical thinking to overcome cognitive bias in online learning to ensure academic success.

In Week Two, you discussed two important executive functions: self-regulation and time management. This week, you read about another important executive function, which is critical thinking. An important part of critical thinking is the ability to identify any cognitive biases you have that may affect the way you view the world. In your initial post:
  1. Define cognitive bias. Choose two types of cognitive bias and explain how they inhibit critical thought. Demonstrate how you would use critical thinking to overcome cognitive bias in online learning to ensure academic success.
  2. Use Adult Development and Learning as your primary source for this discussion, and include at least one in-text citation within the content of your post as well as include the corresponding reference/s at the end of your post according to APA guidelines.


Your initial post must be at least 300 words in length. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts with critical thought. Classmate responses must be at least 100 words in length and posted by Day 7.
