I’ve previously written about how teachers’ implicit bias (and “explicit” bias) can impact the classroom (see We Should Be Obsessed With Racial Equity).
I’ve also shared a lot about cognitive bias’ and thought a “Best” list would be useful.
But, first, I tried to clarify the difference between the two of them. Here is a sampling of responses I received on Twitter:
@Larryferlazzo Cognitive bias refers to way(s) our minds sort, categorize, accept, or deny information based on our beliefs. These may be unconscious also.

@Larryferlazzo My understanding would be that cognitive is a thought-out process. Implicit is when we can’t see our bias unless we look reflectively.

@Larryferlazzo “Cognitive bias” can refer to any number of ways in which our cognitive processes can be hindered. Implicit bias is one subset.
