How Bias Forms: Visualizing Innate and Acquired Cognition

 Cognitive bias isn’t random—it’s shaped by both biology and experience. This post introduces a conceptual data model, built using Richard Barker’s notation, that visualizes how the brain and personal values contribute to the formation of cognitive biases. By distinguishing between innate and acquired biases, the model offers a framework for understanding how perception is filtered and distorted.

By modeling cognitive bias as a product of both brain and values, we gain insight into why people perceive the same reality differently. Recognizing these biases is the first step toward clearer thinking and more empathetic communication.
