Conclusions
In conclusion, the present study found that the memory load of information encoded (MLOIE) would amplify the magnitude of hindsight bias. The biased recollection degree was higher in the HIGH than the LOW condition, indicating that the memory load amplifies the magnitude of hindsight bias. This suggests that hindsight bias would be mitigated by controlling the memory load when learning information. This knowledge can be practical in reducing incidents caused by hindsight biases.
