The Dunning-Kruger Effect - Cognitive Bias - Why Incompetent People Think They Are Competent Special thank you to Trace Dominguez for all his help on this video. Please go check out his channel for some neat science videos! https://www.youtube.com/user/TravellinTraceIn the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.Please consider supporting After Skool on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AfterSkool We have a book coming out very soon.
