Cognitive Biases
123 cognitive biases unified from 5 production data sources, plus 17 mechanisms, 24 synonym groups, and 16 antonym pairs as separate configs.
Quick Start
from datasets import load_dataset
# Main bias entries
biases = load_dataset("buley/cognitive-biases", "biases")
# Supporting data
mechanisms = load_dataset("buley/cognitive-biases", "mechanisms")
synonyms = load_dataset("buley/cognitive-biases", "synonyms")
antonyms = load_dataset("buley/cognitive-biases", "antonyms")
Configs
| Config | Records | Description |
|---|---|---|
biases |
123 | Unified bias entries with source provenance |
mechanisms |
17 | Cognitive heuristics that generate derivative biases |
synonyms |
24 | Synonym/alias groups mapping alternative names |

16 | Antonym pairs with flipping mechanisms |
Bias Sources
Each bias entry has a source field indicating provenance:
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
definition |
Full definitions with domains, System 1/2, observable markers |
mechanism_derivative |
Derived from cognitive mechanisms (heuristics) |
synonym_alias |
Alternative names linked to primary biases |
antonym |
Bias poles with flipping mechanisms |
4-Domain Classification
| Domain | Description |
|---|---|
| TOO_MUCH_INFO | Information filtering and overload |
| NOT_ENOUGH_MEANING | Pattern-finding and meaning-making |
| NEED_TO_ACT_FAST | Decision-making shortcuts |
| WHAT_TO_REMEMBER | Memory formation and recall |
