confirmation bias (確認偏誤)

• Attributed author: peter_wason (confidence: attributed)
• Domain: psychology

Peter Wason coined and experimentally tested 'confirmation bias' (1960s). Francis Bacon described the underlying tendency in Novum Organum (1620) but did not coin the modern term — credit the earlier description without misattributing the term to Bacon.
