The conjunction fallacy is a logical fallacy that occurs when people incorrectly believe that specific conditions are more probable than a single general one. This fallacy was famously illustrated in a study by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. In their experiments, participants were presented with a description of a person and then asked to evaluate the likelihood of different statements about that person.
