in the service of optimizing.................
Although both confirmatory thought and exploratory thought can
be high-cognitive-effort responses to accountability, they differ in important ways. Whereas
confirmatory thought involves a one-sided attempt to rationalize a particular point of view,
exploratory thought involves even-handed consideration of alternative points of view. In short,
although both exploratory and confirmatory thought can be effortful, one takes place in the
service of self-justification whereas the other takes place in the service of optimizing a
judgment/decision.
