Value things more highly if they already own them. Seek information that confirms what they already suspect. Ignore information inconsistent with their current beliefs. Are more likely to choose an alternative if it is not the most extreme one considered. Make choices or predict outcomes based on what is pleasing to imagine rather than on rational evidence. Fail to learn and correct their beliefs despite strong evidence that they should. Keep doing the same things, even if they no longer work well.
