Hindsight Bias: Why You Make Terrible Life Choices-Nir&Far Nir And Far: Business, Behaviour and the Brain

    • Technology

Hindsight bias occurs when people feel that they “knew it all along” – when they believe that an event is more predictable after it becomes known than it was before it became known2.

In other words, when we’re looking back at an event after it already happened, knowing that outcome influences our perception of the events leading up to it.
