Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solving a problem based on one's perception of the situation leads to a framing error, where a decision is influenced by how the problem is presented or perceived. This can result in a biased or incomplete assessment of the situation, leading to suboptimal decisions. Confirmation error refers to seeking out information that confirms pre-existing beliefs, programmed decision refers to a decision made based on a predetermined set of rules, and escalating commitment refers to increasing investment in a failing course of action despite negative outcomes.
