Bugs of collective intelligence: why the best ideas aren’t selected? Blog EssayNice piece by member (and friend) alex3f, talking about group dynamics in decision making. Alex has done a lot of work in this field and it's always interesting to hear his take on some of these studies.. Collective problem solving involves iterated innovation and selection of solutions. In his experiment, Matt decoupled the two by ensuring that the right solution was injected into the pool of solutions that group considered and yet he repeatedly observed that the group rejected the right solution. Apparently, the group evaluation of ideas was seriously biased towards accepting the inferior ideas of the senior members at the expense of other ideas, i.e. the senior status of the idea source overweighted the intrinsic merits of the idea. This is an example of subjective selectionist bias. Another common type of bias is temporal bias. For example, solutions proposed earlier can be preferred to solutions proposed later (or the other way around). http://3form.org/blog/?p=37 |
