Human Performance and Limitations
Q159) Once we have constructed a mental model we tend:
A) To give undue weight to information that confirms the model (mark scheme answer)
B) To give undue weight to information that contradicts the model
C) To give equal weight to contradicting and confirming information
D) To alter that model unnecessarily frequently
-> I would think the answer is B.
Marked answer is correct. If you have constructed a mental model then you would give preference to information than confirms it. It's just our natural habit...
