Domain-specific¶
- Congruence Bias
- Generating the signature that a competing hypothesis H2 would produce, and designing a test whose outcome distinguishes P(data|H1) from P(data|H2), requires holding two hypotheses in working memory simultaneously and orienting toward a result one has not anticipated — a more effortful operation that is systematically underperformed
This sourceThe pseudodiagnosticity finding that reasoners seek data about their favoured hypothesis instead of the datum that would discriminate it from a rival; the working-memory account is not argued here.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
