Answer:
The cognitive bias presented in the question above is an example of framing bias.
Explanation:
Cognitive bias is the term used to designate a deviation from rationality and logic, which our brain makes to confirm information based on our own mental patterns and not based on real and concrete factors. In the question above, we can see an example of cognitive bias called framing bias. Framing bias refers to the mental illusion of judging the quality of an element based on information presented by other elements. In this type of bias, it is common for a comparison to be made between the elements, where it is concluded, incorrectly, that the element less similar to the high quality element is less valuable. We have an example of this type of bias in the question above, where after receiving the information that St. Louise Hawks was the best team in the league, the Kansas City Kings concluded that it would be the worst team in the league, as it was too different from the other teams.
