People often don’t regularly reassess the evidence that shapes their beliefs. When faced with new situations that require problem-solving, they may encounter challenges that push them to rethink their mental models. However, instead of reviewing all the past information that contributed to their current understanding, individuals typically focus on the immediate data available. This means that while they may try to adjust their thinking based on new circumstances, they rarely revisit their earlier decisions or the evidence behind them. As a result, their mental frameworks can remain static, even in the face of new information.
