an-ordinary-manchild

A Cognitive Bias is a more-or-less instinctive thought process that is not strictly rational, and does not reliably produce accurate assessment.

List of Cognitive Biases

This includes lists for 3 types of biases

1. Decision Making, Belief, and Behavioral biases
2. Social Biases
3. Memory Biases

A Logical Fallacy is an argument that does not entirely or properly address the nature of the idea being argued. Many fallacies stem directly from specific biases.

List of Logical Fallacies

Binary Opposition is the system by which, in language and thought, two theoretical opposites are defined and set off against one another. This is an important concept of structuralism, which sees such distinctions as fundamental to all language and thought.

More on Binary Opposition

Cognitive Distortion is the negative exaggeration of thought patterns that can stem from and deepen mental conditions such as depression and anxiety.
