http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases Many cognitive biases have been demonstrated by research in psychology and behavioral economics . These are systematic deviations from a standard of rationality or good judgment.

L'intelligenza è anche implicata nello stabilire nuovi nessi o rapporti tra due o più elementi, come pure nel rilevare contrasti o relazioni problematiche tra essi.
