After reading about
cognitive biases, I have decided to coin some of my own:
- The Fremdenamen Effect: the tendency of things to carry greater credibility when given foreign names.
- The Frost Effect: the tendency for concepts named after people to give a misleading first impression. Named after Dr. Frost.
- The Grandiloquent Nomenclature Effect: the tendency of things to seem more legitimate when given lofty sounding names.
- The Self-Demonstration Effect: the tendency for cognitive biases to be more easily remembered when their name is self-demonstrative.
