- Expectations help us quickly navigate our world. Yet they can also keep us from the simple solutions, talent, and opportunities that are right in front of us.

What I love about this is that the media throws these stereotypes at us, then criticizes us for getting brainwashed. Genius.
Love this
Listening to the full podcast, I don't know how we can fully overcome certain bias: in the case of the airlines, this will work until someone DOES impersonate a medical professional and negative outcome from being on treated by one leads to a lawsuit and they have to revisit their policy once again. Perhaps it should be more that we learn to give the benefit of the doubt and learn to ask insteading of ignoring someone or something because of our bias?
Best video.
I guessed this in 2 try’s when my mum told me it.
So I heard this a long time ago and got it 'right' (I guessed mother) but now it would seem that simply the answer is 'the other parent'. In the day and age of inclusiveness, why wouldn't it be?
I wonder if this riddle and the subsequent studies / anecdotes are a better example of "priming" than of an expectation bias. That is, we are primed unconsciously by the gendered language ("father" & "son") from the first half of the riddle to neglect the other, obvious, option. If the setup of the riddle were ungendered (e.g. "A child and their parent were in a car accident..."), would the relative proportion of people unable to come up with "the other parent" increase?
None of this is to discount the effects of expectation bias. I'm just curious if we are not observing a different cognitive effect or combination of effects.
Would the same effect persist if the setup were gendered in the opposite direction (i.e. "A mother and her daughter were in a car accident...")?
