The many faces of the memory bias
- Rosy retrospection bias. We often remember the past as having been better than it really was.
- Consistency bias. We wrongly remember our past attitudes and behaviour as similar to our present attitudes and behaviour.
- Mood-congruent memory bias. We better remember memories that are consistent with our current mood.
- Hindsight or knew-it-all-along bias. We consider past events as being predictable.
- Egocentric bias. We recall past events in a self-serving manner. We remember a caught fish as bigger than it was.
- Availability bias. We think the memories that come easily to mind is more representative than it really is.
- Recency effect. We best remember the most recent information.
- Choice-supportive bias. We remember chosen options as better than rejected options.
- Fading effect bias. Our emotions associated with negative memories fade faster than our feelings associated with pleasant memories.
- Confirmation bias. We tend to interpret memories in a way that confirms our prior hypotheses of personal beliefs.

Hindsight bias is a false belief that our judgement is better than it actually is when we look back and see the events. Reality appears more predictable after an event happens. This is also known as the ‘Knew-it-all-along effect’.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
