Dr Philp Stahl:
Decision making in the future: Shedding the baggage of implicit and cognitive biases
Tuesday, 13 October 2020, 1:00 - 2:30 pm AEST
Scientists have learned that neuropsychology, social cognition, and cultural factors affect decision-making. Two types of neuro-psychologically rooted bias can impact how we reason, infer and decide.
Cognitive bias refers to heuristics, such as anchoring or confirmatory bias, which contribute to oversimplifying complex matters. Implicit bias refers to social attitudes that result in rapid, and involuntary assessments resulting from feelings and attitudes that operate out of our awareness or the lack of understanding of how people whose experiences are different may affect those inferences and decisions. This webinar will explore such biases and research-based debiasing strategies. Learning objectives:
Attendees at this webinar will be able to:
Understand and manage the threats to fairness, impartiality and neutrality in family law work
Recognise the need to embrace complexity and consider all relevant family issues rather than a “single story”
Manage the impact of our own values, experiences, and feelings when formulating conclusions and making recommendations and decisions in family law matters
Please note that a recording of this webinar will be made available to watch afterwards for registered participants.
