In other words, we tend to make many of our judgments based on the first piece of information that we receive, even if that piece of information is wrong or irrelevant. This phenomenon, discovered by behavioural economists, has repercussions that extend beyond the field to domains such as healthcare. The Role of Arbitrary Coherence in Healthcare This idea can even influence treatment decisions in medical practice. ...
