What is an innovative experiment to test the impact of confirmation bias on problem-solving?
Interview people about their experiences with confirmation bias in daily life and correlate those experiences with reported problem-solving success.
Design a task where solution strategies are ambiguous then manipulate exposure to information that either confirms or contradicts initial hypotheses.
Observe individuals' problem-solving behavior in real-life situations, looking for signs of confirmation bias.
Ask participants to rate their own susceptibility to confirmation bias and link these ratings with self-reported problem-solving skills.
