This is the best video explainer on kind vs. wicked learning environments, and learning the wrong lessons from experience.

Beautiful illustrations, impressive presentation, superb content. I'm in awe.

Thanks @iluli_eu
Excellent new year's present :)

[Mike Lamb @iluli_eu]

In their fascinating book “The Myth of Experience”, Robin Hogarth and @emresoyer argue that experience can sometimes teach us the wrong lessons as a result of “kind” and “wicked” learning environments. Find out how in my new video https://t.co/qHFeyCCKG8

The Myth of Experience is now available in Japanese.
経験バイアス：ときに経験は思考決定の敵となる

In the book, Robin and I discuss instances where experience can be an unreliable teacher. Happy and grateful that more people will have access to it.

@dikili Hocam başın sağolsun. Çok erken, çok acı.
Üzgünüm 😔
Sana ve geride kalanlara sabır, sağlık dilemekten başka elden bir şey gelemiyor...

[Emre Soyer @emresoyer]

@dikili Thank you hocam. Very kind of you.

[Emre Soyer @emresoyer]

Robin had an extraordinary impact on my life.

I had the privilege to share many adventures with him. I'm immensely grateful.

I’ll miss him dearly, together with a lot of people, whose lives he touched and improved.

Not only has he been a wise mentor and a dear friend, he also helped me meet other colleagues and friends.

Here’s a page from Robin Hogarth’s website that lists some of his students and collaborators over many years:

Both are needed?

People also change from one type to the other…

Start with a mission, then love the game. Or start with the game, then love a mission.

[anu @anuatluru]

let’s talk about your type

@GowagsKyle Thank you Kyle. Much appreciated.
Hope those questions on learning from experience serve the coaches well.

[Emre Soyer @emresoyer]

@FerraroOnAir @GowagsKyle Nice to meet you too Joe.
Very kind of you. My favorite puzzle is Airport Parking :)
Congrats on your damn good conversations. Impressive. I'm listening to the one with Annie Duke right now.

@PolymathToBe @yudapearl Thanks for your comment. Sorry to have missed it until. now...

Discussions on inference typically center on analysis. We tried to add to that discussion by considering the effects of presentation:

We just published a piece on @HarvardBiz about how decision makers can unexpectedly learn the wrong lessons from failures.

Based on our book The Myth of Experience.

"There are two ways of learning from experience. One is automatic and it doesn't take any effort on your part, and the other requires effort. And if you just leave it to no effort and rely on what you pick up, you'll pick up strange things."

@koenfucius Thanks for sharing.
In many games, it's relatively easy to identify these and learn to better deal with them.
In life & business, things get complicated :)

@dikili Sağ ol hocam. Bildiğin gibi.
Hepimizden hepinize mutlu sağlıklı 2023. Yolunuz da açık ola.

@dggoldst Interesting!
I missed this but would actually have chosen subtraction.
But maybe the "minus" sign has an unfavorable connotation in people's minds?
