I m enjoying the wikipedia entry on cognitive biases. I generally dislike jargon, but right now I like the idea of hyperbolic discounting. The Von Restorff effect really jumps off the page. And all facilitation types will recognise déformation professionelle.

Hat tip: Psyberton.

It was for providing a simple framework in which such concepts can be understood in the context of everyday life (Bounded Rationality) that Daniel Kahneman shared the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2002.

You can read his prize-acceptance lecture at http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economics/laureates/2002/kahneman-lecture.html
