Cognitive Dissonance in Monkeys - The Monty Hall Problem - New York Times:
Cognitive dissonance is an interesting issue for me, since I rationalize all sorts of beliefs that seem to contradict one another.
” Once we reject something, we tell ourselves we never liked it anyway (and thereby spare ourselves the painfully dissonant thought that we made the wrong choice).”
Is it painful to consider that we made a wrong choice?
I love that many psychological experiments could be wrong and the incorrect aspect is counter-intuitive. Cognitive neuropsychology holds the hope of ransomings us away from a millenia of intuitive, but incorrect, reasoning. Tee-hee.
