$15.00
Course Type: Video – 1 hour
ASHA Course Code: Ethics and Ethical Decision Making – 7070
In an effort to be as efficient as possible, our brain creates summaries of information and shortcuts based on our experiences. These strategies are helpful in the short term but may not be optimal, perfect, or rational and may cause more work in the future.
In this course, we shared fun and provocative research collected by Nobel Prize Winner Daniel Kahneman on how we are all susceptible to our own biases and look at it through the lens of speech pathologist.
