The difficulty in detecting lies from nonverbal cues reveals one limitation in our perceptual toolkit. In addition to errors related to the inappropriate use of the mental shortcuts mentioned above, humans are vulnerable to a number of other perceptual or judgmental mistakes. For instance, sometimes we base our beliefs on evidence that we think unambiguously provides justification for those beliefs. The reality, however, can be different, and upon closer inspection we may find that our shortcuts have betrayed us, and that the evidence is more imaginary than real. In this section we’ll describe four cognitive illusions that can lead us astray (See Table 5.4).
