Recency bias

Curated Category: time-judgment

Recent events are overweighted versus longer historical patterns.

The narrative generalizes from a short and recent time window while ignoring longer-term baselines and cyclical context.

Detection signals

  • Short-window trends treated as structural.
  • Historical baseline omitted from claims.
  • Latest events dominate causal interpretation.

Caution notes

  • Rapid regime shifts can make recent data more relevant.
  • Detect bias when long-term context would materially alter conclusions.
