Abstract: Behavioral economics studies how external influences subconsciously affect decision making. Everyone is subject to a range of cognitive biases, which can affect the radiology training environment and can impact resident selection, resident education, feedback, workflow, and report composition. Understanding the cognitive sources of error and patterns of deviation can help faculty and trainees better engage in an optimal learning environment. This review focuses on the role of cognitive biases as they impact multiple facets of radiology education and training environments.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 American College of Radiology.
