  The impact of cognitive biases on architectural decision-making has been
proven by previous research. In this work, we endeavour to create a debiasing
treatment that would minimise the impact of cognitive biases on architectural
decision-making. We conducted a pilot study on two groups of students, to
investigate whether a simple debiasing presentation reporting on the influences
of cognitive biases, can provide a debiasing effect. The preliminary results
show that this kind of treatment is ineffective. Through analysing our results,
we propose a set of modifications that could result in a better effect.
