Projected Introspection describes the expectation that others reflect on conflict, evidence, or personal behavior with the same depth that one does. This can create frustration when others do not revise themselves after receiving information that seems clear.
Within Cognitive Impasse, the bias can make communication fail. The person presenting an argument assumes the other person is processing internally, while the other person may be avoiding, dismissing, or defending.
The bias is related to egocentric projection and theory-of-mind limitations.
