Looking for evidence to back up the way you already feel about something is an example of Confirmation bias.

<h3>What is confirmation bias?</h3>

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. It is a type of cognitive bias that involves favoring information that confirms previously existing beliefs or biases.

For example, if.a person holds a belief that left-handed people are more creative than right-handed people

Confirmation bias is a psychological term for the human tendency to only seek out information that supports one position or idea and this causes you to have a bias towards your original position because if you only seek out information that supports one idea, you will only find information that supports that idea.

It should be noted that falsification bias is the opposite of confirmation bias and this means you actively look for evidence that disproves your point of view rather than confirms it.

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Karl Lashley hoped to discover the precise spot in the brain where learning occurs by studying how rats would act towards a previously  learned process after removing parts of their brains

Karl  Lashley developed the equipotentiality hypothesis through this process. during his study he trained some rats on the correct route in a maze before damaging/removing some parts of their brain. he did this to know if he can be able to remove the precise spot for learning. but the rats still found their way inside the maze.
