Abstract in brief

  • The research examines how illusory pattern perception, or the tendency to see patterns where none exist, correlates with beliefs in conspiracy theories and the supernatural.
  • In multiple studies, participants who perceived patterns in random events, like coin tosses or chaotic paintings, were more likely to hold irrational beliefs.
  • Furthermore, manipulating beliefs about a specific conspiracy theory affected participants' perception of patterns in world events, reinforcing the idea that illusory pattern perception plays a significant role in forming such beliefs.

People who fall for conspiracy theories have a greater tendency to detect patterns. But those patterns aren’t real. They’re random and illusory: https://t.co/SS4OWLcq54 https://t.co/Jvtu39snDI https://t.co/77IcFd6we9

People who have a greater tendency to detect illusory patterns are also more likely to be receptive to conspiracies and pseudo-profound bullshit. - https://t.co/BAp7JE0kmf - https://t.co/SS4OWLcq54 https://t.co/7pSiDfJ0on

Michael Yeadon often says his "main skill" is spotting "patterns in sparse data", while acknowledging that sometimes he sees "patterns which aren't there". Interestingly, this trait strongly correlates with belief in conspiracy theories.
