hindsight bias
type: Concept
broader: judgment and decision making
definition: The inclination to see events that have already occurred as more predictable than they were before they occurred. The phenomenon has been demonstrated experimentally, in that subjects tend to remember their predictions of future events as having been stronger than they actually were, but only in those cases where those predictions turn out correct.
