People sometimes confuse cognitive biases with logical fallacies, but the two are not the same. A logical fallacy stems from an error in a logical argument, while a cognitive bias is rooted in thought processing errors often arising from problems with memory, attention, attribution, and other mental mistakes.

Please submit a short example of either a bias or logical fallacy in our stand-alone paragraph form. Clarify which bias or logical fallacy you are writing about. You may use personal examples.
