Question

which clinican bias influences making inaccurate diagnoses as clinicians may have the tendency to only recall information that supports a diagnosis?
a confirmatory bias
b over - confidence bias
c pathology bias
d response bias

Explanation:

Confirmatory bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's pre - existing beliefs or hypotheses. In the context of clinical diagnosis, when clinicians only recall information that supports a diagnosis, it is confirmatory bias at play. Over - confidence bias is about being overly sure of one's judgment, pathology bias is related to over - emphasizing pathological conditions, and response bias is more about how subjects respond in research settings.

Answer:

A. confirmatory bias
