Summary of Chapter 5 of Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking In chapter five of Malcolm Gladwell’s‚ Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking‚ he takes a new twist on the idea of thin-slicing‚ which he describes as‚ “the ability of our unconscious to find patterns in situations and behavior based on very narrow slices of experience” (23). Throughout the four previous chapters‚ he explained how thin-slicing works and how it can be useful in everyday life. However‚ in this chapter‚ offers

Chyanne Summerlin February 19‚ 2014 Reflection: Will Gompertz; What are you looking at? I enjoyed reading Gompertz book on modern arts. It was funny‚ witty and a helpful source to me‚ someone who doesn’t know too much of nothing about the arts. I learned a lot of different facts and core knowledge and even how some pieces came to be. Will Gompertz made me feel as if I was in the book as he was typing the words in the book. As he told about the different art pieces I felt as I was there as

caused by emotional stimuli on the perception of non-emotional stimuli called emotion-induced blindness. It seems very similar to attentional blink‚ as both work only in RSVP task and both show perceptual impairment for the second stimuli. Regardless of surface level similarities‚ mechanism following attentional blink is different from emotion-induced blindness. Attentional blink is caused by capacity limitation & impaired visual working memory(Chun & Potter‚ 1995) . Whereas emotion-induced blindness

Mindful Meditation and the Brain Some view meditation as new age‚ hippie nonsense because it is not a social norm to sit in silence and dig beneath the surface of the mind. Others liken it to tuning an instrument before playing it. I subscribe to the latter; nonetheless‚ meditation is an ancient practice that can be traced back 2‚500 years. However‚ neuroscientists are just now beginning to measure the effects that it has on the brain. While there are many types of meditation‚ they all have the

electrophysiological activity associated to multiple psychological processes‚ of which one of the most studied is attention. In particular‚ ERPs have particularly been useful for analyzing voluntary (‘top-down’) and involuntary (‘bottom-up’) allocation of attentional resources on a task. In operational contexts such as driving‚ this method has been proven to reliably discriminate when the level of demands or priority of the primary task have changed (Isreal‚ Kramer..). The principle behind this is that‚ as the

alteration of sleep deprivation on attentional networks. The researchers found a problem with complete focus in everyday life‚ from lack of sleep‚ and wanted to figure out as to why this came about. Researchers of this experiment hypothesize that‚ “the tonic component of alerting interacts with both attentional orienting and executive functions” (Exp Brain Res 1)‚ so henceforth‚ their experimental research study was conducted to see if sleep deprivation alters attentional function‚ both orienting and executive

Inattentional blindness involves the allocation of attention‚ and encapsulates the tendency for unexpected objects to be unperceived if attentional resources are allocated elsewhere (Simons & Chabris‚ 1999). Change blindness‚ however‚ can be distilled as a failure in the comparison of a new visual input to an older input‚ and thus‚ necessarily involves memory as well. If an accurate (fully
