The <strong className="text-current">Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon</strong>, also known as the Frequency Illusion, occurs when something you've just noticed, experienced, or been told about suddenly seems to crop up everywhere.

<p>
It is a cognitive bias caused by two processes: <em>selective attention</em> (your brain subconsciously looking out for the new information) and <em>confirmation bias</em> (reassuring you that each sighting is proof that the thing has gained overnight ubiquity).

Why "Baader-Meinhof"?
</h4>
<p className="text-xs text-gray-400 leading-relaxed">
The name was coined in 1994 by a commenter on a St. Paul Pioneer Press discussion board, who had recently learned about the 1970s West German militant group, the Baader-Meinhof Gang, and then suddenly started hearing about them everywhere. The scientific term for it is the <strong>Frequency Illusion</strong>.
