# Cognitive Bias, illusory truth effect: its effects on Software Engineers

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-02-21)

I have been trying to understand how [illusory truth
effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect) creates problems for Software Engineers. I have found research on
the effects of other cognitive biases (e.g. representativeness, availability, etc.) have on Software Development, but none of them mention anything about illusory truth effect.

Does any such research exist? Can anyone guide me?
