- Belief Formation
- Belief formation has characteristic inputs (perceptual evidence, testimony, prior beliefs, motivational pressures, social context), characteristic mechanisms (Bayesian-style updating, sudden conversion, gradual accommodation, imitation, motivated assent), and characteristic failure modes (confirmation bias, source-credulity errors, motivated reasoning, conformity-driven assent without evidence), a structure Gilbert (1991) made vivid in his Spinozan demonstration that comprehension itself produces tentative belief that must be effortfully undone rather than effortfully constructed.
