A workshop exploring the concept of cognitive biases and how they affect decision-making, held at the independent cinema and arts venue Reading Biscuit Factory.
Not as rational as we think: The science of cognitive biases is on at the Reading Biscuit Factory on Saturday 14 November, starting at 11:00. It's a workshop that looks at cognitive biases — those mental shortcuts and patterns of thinking that lead us to make decisions that aren't always as logical as we believe they are. The session is built around exploring what these biases are and how they shape the way we make choices, from the small, everyday things to the bigger decisions that carry more weight.
If you've ever wondered why you stick with a bad investment long after it's gone south, or why you're more likely to believe something that fits what you already think, that's exactly the kind of thing this covers. The workshop takes those instincts and puts them under a microscope, so you can start to spot them when they're happening in your own head. It's less about memorising a list of psychological terms and more about seeing how these patterns actually play out in real life.
The Reading Biscuit Factory is an independent cinema and arts venue in the heart of Reading, with a 200-seat room and a bar and cafe on site. Its programme runs from films to live events and exhibitions, and it's known for a relaxed atmosphere and a commitment to showcasing independent and international cinema. It's a good spot for a morning workshop like this, especially if you want to grab a coffee before you get started.
