	Cognitive bias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Cognitive bias is any of a wide range of observer effects identified in cognitive science, including very basic statistical and memory errors that are common to all human beings and drastically skew the reliability of anecdotal and legal evidence.
		Bias arises from various life, loyalty and local risk and attention concerns that are difficult to separate or codify.
		The most all-encompassing example of cognitive bias may be the anthropic principle: in its "weak" form, this speculation holds that we humans cannot observe any of the possible universes in which humans cannot exist, and therefore that the values of many fundamental constants of nature (e.g.

	Bias Details, Meaning Bias Article and Explanation Guide
		A bias is a prejudice in a general or specific sense, usually in the sense for having a predilection to one particular point of view or ideology.
		For example, a bias voltage is applied to a transistor in an electronic amplifier to allow the transistor to operate in a particular region of its transconductance curve.
		Bias is used in direct broadcast satellites such as DirecTV and Dish Network, the IRD box actually powers the feedhorn or LNB receiver mounted on the dish arm.

		A bias is a prejudice in a general or specific sense, usually in the sense for having a predilection to one particular view or ideology.
		Bias is also a term used for a high-frequency AC signal added to the audio signal recorded onto magnetic tape.
		This bias is changed from a lower voltage to a higher voltage to select the polarization of the LNB, so that it receives signals that are polarized either clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby allowing it to receive twice as many channels.

	Notational bias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Notational bias is a form of cultural bias in which a notation induces the appearance of a nonexistent natural law.
		For example, consider a scientific experiment that seeks to measure whether most people keep their cars inside or outside garages.
		How does such a notation cope with cloth car covers, or carports which consist of a roof with open sides?

		Cognitive bias is any of a wide range of observer effects identified in cognitive science, including very basic statistical and memory errors that are common to all human beings (first identified by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman) and drastically skew the reliability of anecdotal and legal evidence.
		Cognitive versus culture versus notation bias in physics
		The most all-encompassing example of cognitive bias may be the anthropic principle: in its "weak" form, this states that we humans cannot observe any of the possible universes in which humans cannot exist, and therefore all human observations of the universe are constrained by the many fundamental constants that gave rise to human cognition itself!

	A new classification for the literature of religion - 66th IFLA Council and General Conference - Conference Programme ...
		The UDC notation is normally expressive of hierarchical structure, and can be seen to imply subordinate or lower status of a topic with a longer classmark.
		In this way the notation can be used as a switching language between cultural ideas in the same way that it is used as an inter-lingual switching device, or as a standard between indexing systems.
		The notation used in the proposal of 1993 proved not operationally feasible in terms of consistency of filing order, and was in any event not altogether easy to apply.

	Bias (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A bias could, for example, lead one to accept or not-accept the truth of a claim, not because of the strength of the claim itself, but because it does or does not correspond to one's own preconceived ideas.
		If a critic takes their own preexisting view as ''a priori'' balanced without acknowledging their own potential biases, any person or organization that disagrees with it is automatically viewed as biased ''regardless'' of that person or organization's actual efforts at balance.
		Most often, bias simply refers to a fixed DC voltage applied to the same point in a circuit as an alternating currentAC signal, frequently to select the desired operating response of a semiconductor (forward or reverse bias).

	Mindset (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A mindset, in decision theory and general systems theory, refers to a set of assumptions, methods or notations held by one or more people or groups of people which is so established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviours, choices, or tools.
		This phenomenon of cognitive bias is also sometimes described as mental inertia, "groupthink", or a "paradigm", and it is often difficult to counteract its effects upon analysis and decision making processes.
		A well-known example is the "Cold War mindset" prevalent in both the US and USSR, which included absolute trust in two-player game theory, in the integrity of command chain, in control of nuclear materials, and in the mutual assured destruction of both in the case of war.

		Regardless whether an innate cognitive bias, language's notation bias, or other more overt bias like economic interest or political gain motivates the presentation of any given choice, it seems that triggering the cautious, fearful, part of the brain has very different implications than triggering the greedy impulse to acquire more of what desires.
		Perhaps the most extreme statement of this view is that of Howard Bloom, whose book The Lucifer Principle argues that all forms of evil originate in the gain-seeking impulses of the human hypothalamus, which trigger one to seek gains rather than rationally assess risk or fearfully do nothing.
		A more abstract debate where tolerances versus preferences is invoked is one between approval voting (based on tolerances) and preference voting (usually called instant runoff voting although technically approval voting is just as instant and likewise runs off the least-approved candidates, negatively).

		Unlike psychology it does not confine itself to humans, nor even to animals, but seeks laws that would apply to non-biological beings or alien life forms, as long as they could be said to have a 'mental process'.
		It's many applications are wide-ranging: it has given rise to models of human cognitive bias and risk perception, and has been especially influential in the development of behavioral finance, properly part of economics.
		Cognitive science further assumes that either kind of methods are valid in the investigation, and in effect that cognition is not markedly different for collective processes of sufficient rigor (like scientific investigations, robotic copying of animal behavior, and software simulating human language), and therefore investigations of these processes provides insight into human and near-human (e.g.

		Other notational systems have alternative arrangements (for example, all single letters before all double letters), but LCC is the scheme that most librarians are likely to use, and therefore extra time was devoted to its notation.
		In preparation for their term projects, the students were required to do an exercise on depth of classification by analyzing the levels of hierarchy in a website devoted to a discipline and comparing them with a bibliographic classification scheme.
		This turned out not to be true, however; the students were very interested in such topics-as classification theory, various types of notation, bias in classification, reader interest classification in libraries.
