Janice recalls the last time she saw them together and has the feeling that she could have predicted their break up. Janice's feeling reflects an error in thinking known as the _____ bias.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is the hindshight bias.

Explanation:

The hindisght bias occurs when a person believes an event was more predictable than it really was. For this reason, it is often referred to as the "knew-it-all-along bias". This phenomenon causes memory distorsion, and in turn can also explain overconfidence about predicting future events.
