Does anyone know of a well-thought-out list of this sort. Of course I could make one by surveying the cognitive psych literature, but why reinvent the wheel?
None that I have come across. Biases that I have come across are things like paying attention to face like objects(1) and the on going debate over language centres, that is we are biased to expect language of some variety. These two biases I think are parts of the very important general bias to expect other intelligent agents that we can learn from. Without that starting bias, or the ability to have the general form of that bias (the ability to learn almost arbitrary facts/skills/biases from other agents), I think an AGI is going to be very slow at learning about the world, even if its powers of inference are magnitudes above humans.
