Challenging Confirmation Bias through Creativity and Connectivity
11.27.2019 Lexi Jackson, Advisor
TEDxWUSTL: What word connects the following three words to one another: sore, sweat, shoulder? If you answered “exercise,” you are not alone. Our own cognitive barriers and biases prevent us from making creative associations between diverse sets of people and ideas in our own lives.
