Abstract: This paper synthesises a recent research that includes opinion dynamics models and experiments suggested by the model results. The mathematical analysis establishes that the model's emergent behaviours derives from cognitive biases that should appear in quite general conditions. Moreover, it seems that psychologists have not yet detected these biases. The experimental side of the research therefore includes specifically designed experiments that detect these biases in human subjects. The paper discusses the role of the model in this case, which is revealing phenomena that are almost impossible to observe without its simulations.
