Finding the Hot Shot
Humans are natural pattern seekers. One well-known example
is the hot hand in basketball. A player who makes a few baskets in a row
is considered to have a hot hand, which implies that he has a
higher-than-normal chance of sinking his next shot. Research shows that
sports fans, and the athletes themselves, believe in the hot hand
phenomenon.
