Cognitive Bias Research Digest — August 2026

August research highlights anchoring in AI evaluation, repetition-driven truth judgments, and limits of domain transfer in human-AI evidence.

5 reviewed signals · evidence changes, boundary conditions and research-watch items.

How to read these updates

Strengthens means a useful new result supports an existing evidence record. Narrows means a boundary condition or negative result makes the claim more precise. New context extends a known decision problem into a practical setting. Watch only means the result is interesting but not ready to become a canonical claim.

Every item also answers a practical question: what should a reader check differently after seeing this evidence?
