Stereotyping

The only distinction is the part about why you're forgetting, but I think that aspect of pattern-botching is speculative and I'm not sure why it's important enough that you have to come up with a whole new term.

Yeah, stereotyping applies to the bits that are about people, but doesn't really apply to the other examples though I think.

The level above stereotyping is referred to as a schema. Failing to update a schema is called disconfirmation bias.
