EveryDay Psychology - You Should Probably Know



SEX. DANGER. AND FOOD ARE MEANT TO DRAW YOOR ATTENTION 

 Your brain is hardwired to stay safe, reproduce, and eat as a means of survival. Everything else is secondary. 

 JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T DOESN’T MEAN You CAN’T 

You have a mental model for just about everything. This allows you to use past experience and intuitive perceptions to do things you’ve never tried. 

YOU SEE WHAT YOU EXPECT TO SEE 

How we perceive what we see is heavily influenced by context. Our brains naturally filter irrelevant information in a process called inattentional blindness. 

 YOU ARE BUILT TO IMITATE AND EMPATHIZE 

"Mirror neurons” allow us to share others experiences and provoke us to immitate others actions. This is why babies imitate facial expressions. 

 IT'S NORMAL FOR YOUR MIND TO WANDER 

Most people's minds are wandering about 30% of the time. Mind wandering allows you to prepare for future events and is strongly linked to creativity.


WE CHOOSE THE FIRST ONE ON THE LIST

Studies show that when people are presendent with a list of option they are most likely to pick whatever is first. The same is shown to hold tru for voting.

YOU VALUE WHAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU

Being able to hold an object in your hands has more influence on what people are willing to pay for an item than product presentation or pictures.

YOU ARE MOTIVATED BY THE IDEA OF PROGRESS

The "goal-gradient" effect states that the closer you are to your goal, the more motivated you become. However, your motivation plummets once the goal is reached.

YOUR SOCIAL GROUP HAS A MAXIMUM CAPACITY 

The size of the neocortex has a direct impact on the numberof stable relationships a species can have. For humans, it's about 150. 

YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO SPEND MONEY IF NOT ASKED

Most people are primarily conserned with time, experience and personal connection when making a purchase
