- Confirmation Bias
- Debiasing interventions — structured differential-diagnosis forms, consider-the-opposite prompts, second-opinion requirements, clinical decision-support systems that force explicit competing-hypothesis listing — are documented to reduce premature closure
This sourceSubjects in a simulated research universe fail to choose environments that test alternatives. Substantiates the lab confirmation-bias finding but NOT the claim that debiasing interventions reduce premature closure in medicine, which the marker sits on (see flag). Live-verified (SAGE).
