From: A portable mnemonic to facilitate checking for cognitive errors

|---|---|---|---|---|

Quadrant 3: E = evidences (Do I have sufficient evidences for or against this diagnose?) | ||||
Item 4: cognitive errors due to inheriting someone else’s thinking | 0.86 | 0.055 | 0.85 | Excellent |

Quadrant 4: D = dispositional factors (What are the environmental & emotional (2Es) dispositions influencing my decision?) | ||||
Item 6: cognitive errors associated with patient characteristics (‘emotive’ influence of patient) | 0.86 | 0.055 | 0.85 | Excellent |
Item 7: cognitive errors associated with doctor’s affect or personality (‘emotive’ influence of doctor) | 1.0 | 0008 | 1.0 | Excellent |
