Teacher or professor: SciShow Psych
Subject: Psychology
Content of the Lesson: Hindsight bias skews our interpretation of events and information, making it seem like they were predictable or just not that surprising. This bias can cause some real problems, but the good news is, once you are aware of it, there are some things you can do to reduce its effects.
