Thin slicing is the process of making quick decisions or generalizing based on only a small amount of information, such as observing a small slice of someone's behavior. Selective attention refers to the ability to focus on one piece of information while ignoring other stimuli. Selective exposure refers to the tendency to seek out information that confirms one's pre-existing beliefs. Selective recall refers to the tendency to remember information that confirms one's pre-existing beliefs while forgetting information that contradicts them.
