In this episode of The Gestalt Get Together, Corinne Zmoos explores logical fallacies that commonly appear in discussions about Gestalt language processing (GLP), particularly in social media and clinical decision-making. She emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and evidence-based practice, highlighting how certain cognitive biases and flawed arguments can mislead clinicians, caregivers, and educators. Through real-world examples, Corinne explains how logical fallacies—such as appeal to ignorance, circular reasoning, and the bandwagon effect—can shape the way information about GLP is perceived and shared.
The discussion also addresses how social media influences clinical decision-making, often spreading misinformation through persuasive but logically flawed arguments. Corinne urges clinicians to recognize these fallacies in order to make more informed, evidence-backed decisions rather than relying on anecdotal evidence or emotionally driven claims. By understanding these common pitfalls, SLPs can critically evaluate emerging frameworks like GLP, ensuring they provide the best possible support for their clients.
