This thesis focuses on the subject of cognitive diagnostic error in internal medicine; mistakes
resulting from flaws in physicians’ reasoning processes. More specifically, this thesis addresses
errors caused by confirmation and availability bias. Recently, the potential of cognitive factors
to cause faults in diagnosis caught the attention of authors and policy-makers, and the topic
is pursued in several position papers. Nonetheless, little empirical evidence supporting
a relationship between cognitive factors and medical error exists. In this doctoral thesis, five
experimental studies will be presented that focus on this theme.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/31617/120202_Berge%2C%20Cornelis%20Krijn%20Adriaan%20van%20den.pdf
