textabstractThis thesis focuses on the subject of cognitive diagnostic error in internal medicine; mistakes resulting from flaws in physicians’ reasoning processes. More specifically, this thesis addresses errors caused by confirmation and availability bias. Recently, the potential of cognitive factors to cause faults in diagnosis caught the attention of authors and policy-makers, and the topic is pursued in several position papers. Nonetheless, little empirical evidence supporting a relationship between cognitive factors and medical error exists. In this doctoral thesis, five experimental studies will be presented that focus on this theme
