Automation bias is the tendency to rely too heavily on computer-generated information without questioning its accuracy, leading to the disregard or failure to search for contradictory information. Confirmation bias is a similar concept but refers specifically to the tendency to seek out and favor information that confirms preexisting beliefs. Prospective bias refers to distortions in the interpretation of future events based on past experience, and rejection by aspects is a decision-making heuristic in which options are eliminated based on certain undesirable attributes.
