Dr. David Dunning: Dunning-Kruger Effect

from Watching America Hosted by 89.5 WHRV-FM, Norfolk, VA

The “Dunning-Kruger effect” is the bias people hold regarding their own cognitive ability. Not surprisingly, competence in a given area is not necessarily required to inspire confidence in one’s own abilities. Dr. Alan Campbell has a fascinating conversation with Dr. David Dunning about the implications this has in society--and we learn that none of us is immune.
