In this episode of The Gestalt Get Together, host Corinne Zmoos explores the impact of cognitive biases on clinical decision-making, particularly in the treatment of Gestalt Language Processors (GLPs). She discusses how biases such as confirmation bias, survivorship bias, attentional bias, and implicit bias influence how clinicians interpret and apply information. By analyzing the role of social media, emotional responses, and professional pressures, Zmoos encourages clinicians to critically evaluate the sources and validity of GLP-related claims.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how cognitive shortcuts can shape their perceptions, potentially leading to skewed decision-making. The episode provides practical strategies to recognize and counteract these biases, helping clinicians make more informed, objective choices when supporting GLPs. By fostering a culture of critical thinking and metacognition, SLPs can refine their approach and better serve their clients.
Key Questions:
- How do cognitive biases, such as confirmation and survivorship bias, influence clinical decision-making in treating Gestalt Language Processors?
- What strategies can clinicians use to recognize and counteract biases in their professional practice?
- How does social media shape perceptions of GLP-related claims, and what steps can SLPs take to critically evaluate the information they encounter?
