- Additive Bias
- In cognitive problem-solving it is the original demonstration substrate: across building, grid, schedule, and itinerary tasks, subjects offered both additive and subtractive transformations systematically failed to consider subtractive ones even when those were better and explicitly permitted.
This sourceThe original controlled demonstration (Lego structures, digital grid, essays, recipes, travel itineraries, miniature-golf tasks) that people default to additive transformations and under-consider permitted subtractive ones; shows the effect degrades when subtraction is made salient by a cue.
