Primes¶
- Fundamental Attribution Error
- Gilbert and colleagues' research on cognitive load (Gilbert, Pelham, & Krull 1988) demonstrated that correspondence inference is an effortful correction process, suggesting that the bias may arise partly from insufficient cognitive resources to fully discount situational causes.
This sourceReframes FAE as correspondence bias; sketches its intellectual history and describes four mechanisms (lack of awareness, unrealistic expectations, inflated categorizations, incomplete corrections), centering the effortful-correction account.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The 1995 review's abstract lists incomplete correction as one of four mechanisms producing correspondence bias; it reports no 1988 cognitive-load demonstration and no resource-exhaustion account.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
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.
