Preferred term

omission neglect  

Definition

  • Definition Omission neglect refers to insensitivity to missing information of all types—including unmentioned or unknown options, alternatives, features, properties, characteristics, possibilities, and events. When people fail to think about what they do not know, they underestimate the importance of missing information, and this leads people to form strong opinions even when the available evidence is weak. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Omission Neglect]
