#320 Improve Your Brain with Cognitive B...

Michael Lavers
About this episode

We first spoke about this in Episode 281, and now we're returning for a part 2. 

Cognitive Biases are ways our brains can trick us into certain beliefs and behaviours without realising, and in this episode, I'll cover a few of them such as the IKEA Effect, the Recency Effect, and the Negativity Bias.

They're fascinating to learn, but will also give you some insight to make you a better language learner.
