In this episode of the Health Bridge Podcast, Holly B and Andrea Marshall continue their series on cognitive biases, focusing on the 'continued influence effect.' This bias describes our tendency to believe previously learned misinformation even after it has been corrected. The discussion touches on how this effect influences various aspects of life, from nutrition and politics to mental health and personal beliefs. They explain that cognitive dissonance and source credibility play significant roles in this bias, making it hard to correct long-held misconceptions. They emphasize the importance of curiosity and being open to new, accurate information to overcome this bias.
