Cognitive bias can lead to diagnostic error. To better understand the prevalence of cognitive error among first-year residents, interns were observed as they handled acute clinical problems during simulation sessions. Researchers found a high prevalence of cognitive error, which did not change over time and adversely affected clinical performance.
