A @UWMadison study shows why letting stereotypes inform our judgments of unfamiliar people can be such a hard habit to break. Stereotypes self-perpetuate in our minds, growing stronger with use. @UWPsych @ScienceCox @uwmadisonls @DevineLab onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/on_…

Replying to @ScienceCox
@ScienceCox and his colleagues have published a new paper that brings together what we know about the neuroscience of #learning (rehearsal can solidify knowledge) with what we know about #stereotypes (they are stubbornly hard to overcome). Check it out! doi.org/10.1016/j.jesp.2022.…

Basic neural learning mechanisms favor #stereotype perpetuation. In @ScienceCox 's new paper, learning patterns indicated that stereotype confirmation was more rewarding than accuracy
