Judgment Noise

Judgment noise is irrelevant information that affects decision making by exacerbating cognitive biases. It can lead to blocking out useful information or selectively perceiving noise. Organizations conduct noise audits to assess and minimize its impact on decision making. While not a bias itself, judgment noise amplifies cognitive biases.

• A useful tool for enhancing decision accuracy

• An irrelevant factor that can affect decision-making

• It causes us to ignore all irrelevant information

• It helps us focus on all relevant information

• It can lead us to block out noise and useful information

What is one potential outcome of selectively perceiving noise?

• Enhanced focus on irrelevant details

• Improved decision-making accuracy

• Increased awareness of all information

• Numbness to highly relevant information

Why do organizations conduct noise audits?

• To eliminate all forms of noise

• To increase the presence of noise

• To determine how noise affects decision-making

• To amplify cognitive biases

What is the relationship between judgment noise and cognitive bias?

• Judgment noise has no effect on cognitive bias

• Judgment noise amplifies cognitive bias
