Abstract
This article will provide background on cognitive biases related to data visualizations, with a particular interest towards visual analytics in big data environments. Cognitive biases that appear in visualizations will be discussed. A review of recent studies related to designing experiments to mitigate cognitive biases in data visualizations will be presented. Recommendations, using applied frameworks for detecting and mitigating biases in single visualizations and visual analytic systems, will be provided to practitioners.
