Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon specification of Cognitive Bias Ontology
The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, also known as the Frequency Illusion, is a cognitive bias in which after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more frequently thereafter, leading one to believe that it has an increased frequency of occurrence. This perception is not due to the actual increase in frequency but rather due to the new awareness of the item, event, or term.
In essence, while the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon often refers to more distinctive or unusual observations, the frequency illusion can apply to any information, whether common or rare. Both terms describe the same underlying cognitive bias of increased awareness and selective attention, but the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon has a flavor of novelty and rarity attached to it.

After learning the word 'solipsism' in a philosophy class, Jamie began to encounter it everywhere: in a psychology book, during a podcast, and even in a news article about perception. This amusing frequency of a once unfamiliar term led Jamie to appreciate how new knowledge can suddenly resonate across different mediums, enhancing awareness and deepening their engagement with ongoing learning.
Because an activity may engage other participants than the one performing it, engagements are in general considered individual rather than collective, therefore each participants has their own engagement and only some of them will be conscious and/or documented.

This property documents that an instance of E89 Propositional Object has as subject an instance of E1 CRM Entity. This differs from P67 refers to (is referred to by), which refers to an instance of E1 CRM Entity, in that it describes the primary subject or subjects of an instance of E89 Propositional Object.

Concepts are defined as abstract ideas. They are understood to be the fundamental building blocks of the concept behind principles, thoughts and beliefs.They play an important role in all aspects of cognition. As such, concepts are studied by several disciplines, such as linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, and these disciplines are interested in the logical and psychological structure of concepts, and how they are put together to form thoughts and sentences. The study of concepts has served as an important flagship of an emerging interdisciplinary approach called cognitive science.

Concept
Can be defined as awareness of facts or as practical skills and may also refer to familiarity with objects or situations. Knowledge of facts, also called propositional knowledge, is often defined as true belief that is distinct from opinion or guesswork by virtue of justification. While there is wide agreement among philosophers that propositional knowledge is a form of true belief, many controversies in philosophy focus on justification: whether it is needed at all, how to understand it, and whether something else besides it is needed. These controversies intensified due to a series of thought experiments by Edmund Gettier and have provoked various alternative definitions. Some of them deny that justification is necessary and replace it, for example, with reliability or the man.

Represents another type of the cognitive bias - Baader-MeinhofPhenomenon - a cognitive bias wherein after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has an increased frequency of occurrence. This is not due to the actual increase in frequency but rather due to the individual's selective attention and heightened awareness. Some sources call it also Frequency Illusion.

A belief is a mental state or attitude where an individual holds something to be true or probable. Beliefs can range from factual assertions about the world to subjective evaluations, opinions, or attitudes about various matters. Beliefs can be based on evidence, personal experience, cultural upbringing, social influences, or even intuition.
