Attachment Disorders. Cognitive Biases. Systematic patterns of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of deviation from norm and/or rationality in judgment. They are often studied in psychology, sociology and behavioral economics.[1] Although the reality of most of these biases is confirmed by reproducible research,[2][3] there are often controversies about how to classify these biases or how to explain them.[4] Several theoretical causes are known for some cognitive biases, which provides a classification of biases by their common generative mechanism (such as noisy information-processing[5]). Gerd Gigerenzer has criticized the framing of cognitive biases as errors in judgment, and favors interpreting them as arising from rational deviations from logical thought.[6]

Polarized Thinking: Things are black or white, good or bad. Maladaptive Daydreaming. Symptoms[edit] Excessive daydreaming may begin as an outlet for creativity,[4] or as a method of escaping trauma or abuse.[1] The daydreamer experiences very vivid and intricate fantasies and may become emotionally attached to the characters in their fantasies or express emotions they are feeling through vocal utterances or changing facial expressions, although most keep such behavior hidden from others.
Maladaptive daydreamers know the difference between reality and fantasy; they realize that everything they are dreaming about is a fantasy.[4] Some also exhibit symptoms similar to Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD or OCD[clarification needed].
