Cognitive Biases May Exaggerate the Perceived Negative Consequences of Exposure: Commentary on Toward a Theory of Exposure

Abstract

Rappert and Kuhn (2024) provide a theoretical framework for considering exposure in the context of performance magic. I argue that two cognitive biases– how expertise affects memory and the difficulty of transferring knowledge -- may cause magicians to overestimate the negative effects of exposure.

Keywords
