		A memory bias is a type of cognitive bias, which may either enhance or impair the recall of memory, or they may alter the content of what we report remembering.
		Context effect - states that cognition and memory are dependent on context, such that out-of-context memories are more difficult to retrieve than in-context memories (i.e, recall time and accuracy for a work-related memory will be lower at home, and vice versa).
		Serial position effect - states that items at the beginning of a list are the easiest to recall, followed by the items near the end of a list; items in the middle are the least likely to be remembered.

		The humor in this is that you can easily interpet the study to apply all of the cognitive biases you mentioned in your post, so it's not the study itself, but how you look at it.
		I had my own biased reaction when I saw the study go around -- as someone who didn't drink for very many years and never noticed pressure or effect from that, I was immediately skeptical of it.
		I don't see any logical fallacies in that study, and cognitive biases are a matter of interpretation.

	26 Reasons What You Think is Right is Wrong
		A cognitive bias is something that our minds commonly do to distort our own view of reality.
		Oh and, by the way, you’ll never be able to truly gauge any of the biases you might be operating under since it’s not possible to accurately observe a system you’re part of.
		Some of our beliefs may be true and others not ; but the biases themselves do not have the ability to change the true or false nature of the conclusions reached.

		Primacy effect - The primacy effect, in psychology, is a cognitive bias that results from disproportionate salience of initial stimuli or observations.
		If, for example, a subject reads a sufficiently-long list of words, he or she is more likely to remember words read toward the beginning than words read in the middle.
		Taken together the primacy effect and the recency effect predict that, in a list of items, the ones most likely to be remembered are the items near the beginning and the end of the list (serial position effect).

		Clinical information involves histories that can be biased by the manner in which questions are asked, vague clinical signs that are assessed with several senses and diagnostic laboratory tests that are not perfect.

		The effects of language on memory, cognitive attention, and cognitive habits, dismissed by some as applying only with linguistic encoding, may in fact occur all the time.
		But these observations suggest that the cognitive differences that Levinson observes between speakers of absolute vs. relative languages-- for instance that the former have a better sense of direction-- may stem from culture rather than language.
		Lastly, Tomasello's observations about how social cognition is inextricably caught up in the effects of language on thought raises the possibility that some of the ultimate cognitive influences are social, not linguistic.

	LINGUIST List 14.1481: Cognitive Science/Psycholing: Briscoe (2002)
		RW lists 6 selection factors in the evolution of words: useful meaning, productivity, economy, minimum ambiguity, ease of learning and social identification, and proposes that ''a language universal may arise just from the convergent evolution of words'' (p.92).
		As an alternative to Hawkins' account (1994) for the rise of language universals, which is attributed to the need for ''ease of parsing'', RW proposes the ''need to minimise ambiguity''.
		Thus, ''much of the domain-specific nature of language acquisition, particularly grammatical acquisition, would follow not from the special nature of the learning procedure per se, as from the specialized nature of the morphosyntactic rules of realization for the language of thought'' (p.297).

		I object, therefore, most strongly to the use of `Cognitive Linguistics' in such a way as to indicate that any particular group has the inside track on this issue.
		Historically, of course, the term would `belong' by rights to Chomsky's work and its offshoots since he is directly responsible for most of what is known as the Cognitive Sciences anyway.
		I think that what goes under the name of Cognitive Linguistics and/or Connectionist Linguistics is very interesting and quite instructive, regardless of one's theoretical assumptions and biases.

		Plott and Zeiler's answer: "[t]he thesis of this paper is that observed gaps are symptomatic of subjects' misconceptions about the nature of the experimental task." That is, experimental procedures and not biases in individual preferences explain the gap.
		Also, as I understand it, part of the underlying theory behind the whole notion of cognitive biases is that they exist as heuristics to minimize decision cost for low-importance choices.
		If this is the case, as the perceived importance of a choice increases, people are more likely to take care to avoid their normal mental processes.
