Answer:

Overconfidence, hindsight bias

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot rely solely on intuition or common sense to explain psychological phenomena. This is because we tend to think we know more than we actually do know, known as overconfidence, and because of the I-knew-it-all-along phenomenon, or hindsight bias.

Overconfidence is when individuals think they know more than they actually do. Hindsight bias on the other hand is the tendency for individuals to believe after an outcome that they knew it all along and had foreseen that come which is actually incorrect. For example, after an accident, you people say things like I knew it all along when in fact they never did.
