Abstract :
Cognitive bias is a key feature of human decision making, and has an impact in a wide range of human endeavours. Certain features of the development of such bias suggest a hysteresis-type process at some level. Some possibilities for this process are suggested, and a simple model for the development of such bias introduced. Qualitative numerical results from this model are also presented.
