Fading Affect Bias / FAB
The Logical Fallacy of Fading Affect Bias / FAB occurs when the details/information associated with negative autobiographical emotional experiences fade from memory more quickly than the details/information associated with positive emotional experiences.
Examples of Fading Affect Bias / FAB
When you remember the details of those events that describe your life, you are more likely to remember the positive things about your past than the negative things.
FAB becomes a fallacy when the remembered details are used as proof of your own goodness or the goodness of your life.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question
