Confirmation Bias
selective focus upon evidence that supports their beliefs or what they want or believe to be true, while ignoring evidence that serves to disconfirm those ideas
![Page 15: General Internal Medicine Conference Case Presentation April 16 2008 Pedro Salinas post hoc ergo propter hoc.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf6c5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Francis Bacon describedconfirmation bias as follows in 1620
The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it. And though there be a greater number and weight of instances to be found on the other side, yet these it either neglects and despises, or else by some distinction sets aside and rejects; in order that this great and pernicious predetermination the authority of its former conclusions may remain inviolate
