Anchoring bias or relativity trap refers to the tendency, in making a decision, to anchor to an initial piece of information and compare only a limited set of items. The article delves into this cognitive error, which also affects health care providers in clinical settings, with some examples, and proposes some strategies to increase awareness and reduce, as much as possible, the error in clinical practice.
