Send us a textBu bölümde, bilişsel bilimin önde gelen iki ismi, Nobody's Fool (Külyutmaz) kitabının ortak yazarları Dr. Daniel Simons ve Dr. Christopher Chabris ile geçen hafta yayınladığım söyleşinin bir özetini paylaşıyorum. İstemdışı körlük üzerine çığır açan çalışmalarıyla tanınan Dan ve Chris, insan algısının ve farkındalığının sınırlarını inceleyerek, bariz olanı ne kadar kolay gözden kaçırdığımızı bize yansıtıyorlar.2004 Ig Nobel Ödülü kazanan dikkatimizdeki şaşırtıcı boşlukları mizahi bir şekilde ortaya koyan araştırmalarını tartışarak başlıyoruz. Onların içgörüleri, önümüzde ne olduğunu fark etme yeteneğimizi genellikle abarttığımızı, önemli ayrıntıları neden kaçırdığımızı anlamaktan günlük hayatta karşılaştığımız gizli riskleri tanımaya kadar derin etkileri olan bir kavram olduğunu ortaya koyuyor.Bu bize, bilişsel kör noktalarımız ve dolandırıcıların ve diğer aldatıcıların bu güvenlik açıklarından yararlanmak için basit psikolojik tetikleyicileri nasıl kullandıkları hakkında bilgi veriyor.Ayrıca aldatmanın kültürel ve psikolojik yönlerine de dalıyoruz ve neden “Ocean's 11” ,"The Sting", "Catch Me If You Can" gibi filmlerdeki zekice hile hikayelerine çekildiğimizi keşfediyoruz. Dan ve Chris, yaygın dolandırıcılık taktiklerini tanımanın, bunları gerçek hayatta tespit etme yeteneğimizi nasıl geliştirebileceğine değiniyor. Sadece eleştirel değil, temkinli düşünmenin kendimizi kendi zihinsel kısayollarımızın tuzaklarından korumak için güçlü bir araç olduğunu vurguluyorlar.Bitirirken, onu nasıl koruyacağımızı öğrenerek değer yaratmanın bir formülüne değiniyoruz. Dan ve Chris, aldatıcı kalıpları tanıma ve maliyetli hatalardan kaçınmak için daha bilinçli kararlar alma konusunda Külyutmaz'dan değerli pratik tavsiyeler paylaşıyorlar.The Invisible Gorilla Facebook Sayfasıhttps://www.facebook.com/TheInvisibleGorillaDaniel Simons'ın Linkedin profilihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-simons-54646325a/Daniel Simons'un web sayfasıhttps://dansimons.com/Christopher Chabris'nin Linkedin profilihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherchabris/Christopher Chabris'nin X hesabıhttps://x.com/cfchabrisSupport the show
Send us a textIn this episode of the Formula for Creating Value podcast, I'm joined by two leading figures in cognitive science, Dr. Daniel Simons and Dr. Christopher Chabris, co-authors of the book Nobody's Fool. Together, we explore the fascinating ways our minds can betray us and make us susceptible to deception. Known for their groundbreaking work on inattentional blindness—especially their famous "invisible gorilla" experiment—Dan and Chris have spent their careers studying the limits of human perception and awareness, uncovering how easily we overlook the obvious.We start by discussing their 2004 Ig Nobel Prize-winning research, which humorously exposes the surprising gaps in our attention. Their insights reveal that we often overestimate our ability to notice what's right in front of us, a concept that has profound implications, from understanding why we miss key details to recognizing the hidden risks we face in daily life. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about our cognitive blind spots and how scammers and other deceivers use simple psychological triggers to exploit these vulnerabilities.We also dive into the cultural and psychological aspects of deception, exploring why we're drawn to stories of clever trickery in movies like "The Sting", "Catch Me If You Can" and "Ocean's 11". Dan and Chris reflect on how recognizing common scam tactics can actually improve our ability to spot them in real life. They emphasize that cautious—and not just critical—thinking is a powerful tool for protecting ourselves from the pitfalls of our own mental shortcuts.As we wrap up, we touch on a formula for creating value by learning how to protect it. Dan and Chris share practical advice on recognizing deceptive patterns and making more informed decisions to avoid costly mistakes. They leave us with valuable insights from Nobody's Fool, showing how we can outsmart the tricks our own minds might play on us.(02:18) The Ig Nobel Prize and the Invisible Gorilla Experiment (06:02) Cultural Perspectives on Deception: East vs. West (15:15) Strategies to Protect Ourselves from Scams and Deception (19:26) The Effectiveness of Political Ads: Do Banners and Flags Work?

In this episode, hosts Dr. Grant Cooper and Dr. Zinovy Meyler engage with renowned cognitive psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons to unravel the intricacies of memory, deception, and decision-making. They discuss how vivid but often inaccurate memories form, explore real-life scams including impersonators of the French Minister of Defense, and tackle psychological shortcuts like survivorship bias and confirmation bias. The conversation highlights the influence of AI and deepfakes on deception and offers practical advice to protect against scams, such as the use of family passwords for combating voice cloning. Additionally, they delve into decision-making traps, illustrated through examples like doctors' varied information processing. Through engaging anecdotes and their collaborative research from 'Nobody's Fool,' the episode provides insights into human cognition's limitations and the importance of recognizing and mitigating biases.(00:00) Introduction (04:20) Exploring the Mandela Effect (06:43) The Fallibility of Memory (16:15) Survivorship Bias in Decision-Making (19:58) The Possibility Grid: Understanding Success and Failure (26:36) Confirmation Bias and Scientific Errors (38:50) The Time Reversal Heuristic (39:50) Bias in Scientific Findings (40:51) The Appeal of Counterintuitive Results (42:45) Challenges in Replicating Studies (43:46) The Reality of Social Priming (46:28) Subliminal Perception and Its Limits (47:34) Cognitive Training and Its Efficacy (55:17) Chess Strategies Applied to Life (57:09) The Importance of Asking Questions (59:42) Avoiding Deception and Making Better Decisions (01:04:27) The Role of Information in Decision Making (01:09:04) ConclusionDaniel Simons and Christopher Chabris are renowned cognitive psychologists best known for their groundbreaking research on attention, perception, and cognitive illusions. Simons, a professor at the University of Illinois, and Chabris, a professor at Geisinger Health System, co-authored the influential book *The Invisible Gorilla*, which explores how our minds can overlook significant details, leading to surprising misconceptions. Their famous "invisible gorilla" experiment demonstrates how people can fail to notice obvious things when focused on specific tasks, revealing the limits of human attention and perception. Both researchers continue to investigate the fascinating ways in which our minds shape our experiences.#podcast #memory #decisionmaking #psychology #deception #mandelaeffect #interview #experts #brainscience #research #mind #cognitivescience #mentalhealth #MemoryStudy #SurvivorshipBiasThanks For WatchingSocials:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKPNCI1-HBSZmiHNAlAjiIwWebsite: https://www.performanceinitiativepodcast.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/performanceinitiative

"It's a kind of information that we find particularly appealing that people looking to fool us will use, but it can lead to innocent spreading" Host Paul Brandus explores the concept of truth bias and its implications in today's society with guests Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris, authors of the book "Nobody's Fool, Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It." They discuss how our innate trust in familiar sources can make us vulnerable to misinformation and the importance of skepticism in evaluating information. The conversation delves into the challenges of focusing on only what is directly in front of us, potentially overlooking crucial context. Meredith Wilson, CEO of Emergent Risk International, joins the discussion to provide insights on how trust and skepticism play a crucial role in navigating the complex landscape of information consumption. The episode highlights the need for critical thinking and awareness in an age where information is constantly at our fingertips. [00:02:06] Truth bias and deception.

Dr. Simons studies visual cognition, perception, attention, and memory. Most of his recent research has focused on the cognitive underpinnings of our experience of a stable and continuous visual world. He is the author of The Invisible Gorilla: And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us, and more recently, Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It. In this episode, we focus on Nobody's Fool. We talk about our “truth bias”, why it works most of the time, and what makes people skeptical in certain situations. We go through four psychological habits that make us susceptible to deception: focus, prediction, commitment, and efficiency. We discuss expectation-based reasoning, and how it can affect the production of scientific knowledge. We also go through four hooks that deceivers use: consistency, familiarity, precision, and potency. Finally, we talk about how deceivers try to target the most vulnerable people. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Anyone who makes critical decisions needs to be aware of dual process theory and the heuristics we use and are subject to. Dr. Pat Croskerry, Dr. Christopher Chabris, and Dr. Itiel Dror are all experts in critical thinking about how our minds work. This episode is also available for Yale CME credit (1.0 hour). Dr. Pat Croskerry, MD PhD, is a professor in emergency medicine at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. For the past 10 years, he has been Director, Critical Thinking Program, Division of Medical Education, Faculty of Medicine, at that same institution. Trained as an experimental psychologist, Dr. Croskerry went on to become an emergency medicine physician and found himself surprised by the relatively scant amount of attention given to cognitive errors. He is one of the world's foremost experts in safety in emergency medicine and in diagnostic errors. He is humble, honest, and thoughtful; read this interview for more insight into his background and work in the emergency department (https://psnet.ahrq.gov/perspective/conversation-withpat-croskerry-md-phd).

His book with Daniel Simons, The Invisible Gorilla (link: http://www.theinvisiblegorilla.com/) is a bestseller that goes into much greater depth on the everyday illusions of attention, memory, confidence, knowledge, cause, and potential; as well as the myth of intuition. Dr. Itiel Dror PhD is a senior cognitive neuroscience researcher at the University College London. He received his PhD in Psychology at Harvard University. He researches information processing involved in perception, judgment, and decision-making. Dr. Dror has dozens of research publications, which have been cited over 10,000 times.

As humans, we have certain default settings that help us navigate the world. Yet those same default settings make us vulnerable to fraud and deception. For example, our ability to focus helps us concentrate on what's right in front of us. But it also prevents us from seeing what's missing. For example, we're more willing to believe a presumed investment expert who touts a winning track record without thinking about the losses he never mentions. Our brains also rely on past experiences to guide our behavior. The upside is that it conserves energy and prevents us from having to relearn things like tying our shoes or driving to the store. Unfortunately, it predisposes us to act without thinking. That's why Daniel Simons has written a book called Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken in and What We Can Do about It. In it, he points out four habits that can put us at risk, and he shares ways to overcome them. He also points how others can leverage our very human tendencies to deceive us. Talking to Dan helped me see another side to some of my default settings and how I can stay vigilant, so I don't get fooled.

My guest today is Christopher Chabris, a cognitive psychologist and a well-known researcher in the fields of psychology and human cognition. He is most famous for his work on the "invisible gorilla" experiment, which he conducted during his graduate studies at Harvard University along with Daniel Simons. This experiment demonstrated the phenomenon of "inattentional blindness," where people fail to notice unexpected objects or events if their attention is focused on a different task. The topic is his co-authored book Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss: Cognitive biases and their impact on perception and deception Stepping back from heated debates Scams, frauds, and deceptions Selective data analysis and confirmation bias Vaccines and politics Thinking critically and seeking truth in divisive topics Examining COVID, gender, and Trump through a framework Information curation Jump in! --- I'm MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I'm proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast listens since 2012.

Hindsight is 20/20 after falling for a scam; the trick is avoiding one in the first place. Daniel Simons is professor in the department of psychology at the University of Illinois, where he directs the Visual Cognition Laboratory. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the many ways we get taken for a ride and the faulty thinking that got us there so we can be aware next time. His book, written with co-author Christopher Chabris, is “Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It.”
In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Ryan Moyer speaks with researchers Dr. Daniels Simons & Dr. Christopher Chabris about deception and their new book, Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It. They discuss how easy it is to be fooled by online information, why doomsday cult members don't abandon their beliefs when their predictions fail, why being objective may be harder than we think, why Bernie Madoff was so successful at conning his victims, and how you can adjust your thinking to avoid being deceived.

From phishing scams to Ponzi schemes, fraudulent science to fake art, chess cheaters to crypto hucksters, and marketers to magicians, our world brims with deception. In Nobody's Fool, psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris show us how to avoid being taken in. They describe the key habits of thinking and reasoning that serve us well most of the time but make us vulnerable—like our tendency to accept what we see, stick to our commitments, and overvalue precision and consistency. Each chapter illustrates their new take on the science of deception, describing scams you've never heard of and shedding new light on some you have. Simons and Chabris provide memorable maxims and practical tools you can use to spot deception before it's too late. Christopher Chabris is a professor at Geisinger, a Pennsylvania healthcare system, where he co-directs the Behavioral Insights Team. He previously taught at Union College and Harvard University, and is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. Chris received his Ph.D. in psychology and A.B. in computer science from Harvard. His research focuses on decision-making, attention, intelligence, and behavior genetics. His work has been published in leading journals including Science, Nature, PNAS, and Perception, and he has published essays in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Washington Post. Chris is also a chess master, games enthusiast, and co-author of the bestselling book The Invisible Gorilla: How Our Intuitions Deceive Us. Together Daniel and Christopher co-authored the new book Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It. Shermer, Simons, and Chabris discuss: • How rational vs. irrational are humans? (Daniel Kahneman vs. Gerd Gingerenzer) • Truth Default Theory, or Truth Bias • deception vs. deception detection • social proof and the influence of others on our beliefs • cults • Bernie Madoff • Harvey Weinstein • Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos • Nigerian spam scam • cheating in chess • habits of thought that can be exploited • information hooks we find especially enticing instead of triggering skepticism • scientific fraud and the replication crisis • how to prevent from being a victim of fraud or a con.
How would you feel if during your trip to Agra, India, someone offers to sell you the Taj Mahal (one of the greatest wonders of the world)? In its absurd glory you might question the offer as you read this, but not everyone did. One of the greatest con artists from India, Natwarlal aka Mithilesh Kumar Srivastava, not only sold the Taj Mahal to unsuspecting foreign tourists, but also made out selling a few other historical monuments ~ and not just once, but multiple times. No one likes to be conned, fooled or taken advantage of. However, everyone has fallen prey to someone else's deceit at least once because we are wired for trust-bias and scammers use our own cognitive beliefs, habits, and assumptions against us.On this episode, research neuroscientists, co-authors and collaborators Dr. Christopher Chabris and Dr. Daniel Simons discuss their most recent book, “Nobody's Fool: Why we get taken and what we can do about it” and explain what classic and current research in cognitive psychology and the social sciences says about our vulnerabilities to fall prey to deception and fraud. Focus, critical thinking, discernment and questioning ourselves with criticality are some of the effective ways of managing our truth bias and activating our executive function to protect our future-selves.About Dr. Christopher ChabrisChristopher Chabris is a Professor at Geisinger, a Pennsylvania healthcare system, where he co-directs the Behavioral Insights Team.

In today's episode, the authors explain to NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer why truth bias and familiarity can work against us, but that skepticism and fact-checking can help us fight back.

Listen and Learn: How was The Gorilla Experiment conceived, and what were the key findings? What did the experiment reveal about attention in particular? How the illusion of attention can affect our daily lives Why do we not notice significant changes in our visual world when our attention is distracted? Do we actually pay attention to our memories? The illusion of knowledge and how it pertains to investing Why do we think we know cause and effect better than we actually do? The Mozart Effect: is it really beneficial to our cognitive abilities?

Splashy headlines, sensational findings and world-first results grab our attention but they also leave us vulnerable to deception. Constantly being skeptical of research is an impractical stance, so how do we avoid being fooled by fraud? Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris tell us exactly how. If you're one of the 13 million viewers of the Monkey Business Illusion video on YouTube, you are already familiar with the work of our guests on this episode, Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris. As long time experts in the areas of deception and fraud, they have just published an excellent new book on the topic; Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It. In our discussion with Dan Simons and Chris Chabris, we discuss ways to avoid being fooled and scammed based on insights from behavioral science. They talk about how habits and appealing information can make people vulnerable to deception. While being skeptical of everything all the time is impractical, people should be more skeptical when the stakes are high. Scientific fraud is a growing concern and has hit the headlines again in the field of behavioral science. Dan and Chris outline the problems with current incentives in academic research and a new approach to conducting research that reduces the push for only publishing statistically significant results. The snapshot takeaway from this monumental discussion though is when trying to figure out who to trust in a world swimming in disinformation, fraud and scams - look for the people who are routinely admit when they're wrong. These are the people you can trust. Interviewing Dan and Chris was definitely a highlight of the 350+ episodes of Behavioral Grooves Podcast.

The tendency to blindly accept what we already believe in or trust what sounds too good to be true leaves us vulnerable to deception. So how do we find the right balance between blind trust and constant skepticism?Daniel Simons is an experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist, Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois, and the co-author of several books. His latest book, Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It, explores how our instincts lead us to fall prey to scams and how to spot deceptions. Daniel and Greg discuss how our limited attention resources result in a focus on specific tasks and potential neglect of other crucial elements, and how personally appealing information can easily lead us down the wrong path. They also talk about the need to parse the world more finely without succumbing to wholesale distrust by evaluating our assumptions and posing challenging questions.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The problem with attention09:52: This is the general problem with attention. We tend to focus on one thing well and need to do that. We need to be able to filter out those distractions. So you want people looking for the thing that they're supposed to find, because most of the time, that's what you want them doing, right? You want them devoting their resources to the diagnosis that's most likely. It's just that every now and then, you're going to miss something that's sometimes rare and sometimes not what you're looking for.Looking at consistency in a different way23:48: We often take consistency as a sign of deep understanding and credibility when we really should be looking for noise and should take it as a red flag.How do you know what the optimal allocation of trust resources is?10:04: We have to trust, and we have to accept that what other people are telling us is true much of the time. Otherwise, you really couldn't function if you were perpetual, cynic and skeptic about everything. You couldn't get anywhere. You'd be checking the ingredients on every box of food you buy to make sure it truly is what it says it is. You couldn't function in society and be a perpetual skeptic. And there's going to be a spectrum of people who are going to be much more trusting and much less critical and skeptical, and others who are much more skeptical. But you have to find this happy medium.Considering how we can be deceived02:26: This book is more about how our patterns of thought and the information that we find appealing and attractive can lead us down the wrong path. (02:51) The problem for most of us is that we don't typically think about how we can be deceived. So in that sense, it's probably less likely to become a tool for scammers than for users and consumers. Show Links:Recommended Resources:Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B.

Is it really human nature to believe what we're told at first pass, but then start to doubt after the conversation ends? Should we be more doubtful from the get-go? Today we welcome to the basement two men who want to share how to avoid getting sucked into false promises, hoodwinked by snake oil salesmen, and bamboozled by smooth-talking neighbors who have a sweet El Camino: Doctors Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris. In today's headline, we question the legitimacy of the advice given by a more off-the-beaten-path new source. This gives us a chance to put our critical hats on and have a larger discussion about vetting your news sources, how to spot red flags that raise eyebrows, and a few telltale signs that the piece was, at least in part, probably written by ChatGPT. We throw out the Haven Lifeline to Lucas who wants our take on how to correctly calculate the tax basis on shares of stock that were purchased at a discount through an employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP").

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Deception is everywhere. Fake psychics, dodgy investment deals, cults, and pesky scam calls can be hard to detect, even for the smartest or most vigilant individuals. This poses the question of what makes us vulnerable and what precautions we can take? Joining us for this episode are two exceptional cognitive scientists, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. Through studies and findings from their highly anticipated book, "Nobody's Fool, Why We Get Taken In, and What We Can Do About It" they provide us with valuable insight into how to navigate the treacherous world of deception. In this fascinating conversation, Christopher and Daniel unveil the cognitive biases that plague us all while offering practical ways to safeguard ourselves from being duped. Drawing upon real-life situations, they come equipped with an arsenal of tactics that can be incorporated into your daily life and that won't breed paranoia or leave you in a perpetual state of vigilance—quite the opposite! Their goal is to provide you with the knowledge to navigate life confidently, cautiously, and securely. Listen and Learn: Is everyone susceptible to being duped? How have Daniel and Christopher become savvier at recognizing scams as a result of writing and researching their book, Nobody's Fool? Daniel's clever suggestion for protecting your family from scam calls How ‘truth bias' can make us more vulnerable in day-to-day life Why do we often fail to see something that's right in front of us? Even something so glaringly apparent? Principle of focus: what does it mean, and how is it used as a means to deceive? How our beliefs and expectations can deter us from seeing what is actually there and how to avoid falling victim to the trap Why it's crucial to consider all of the information that you're missing when interpreting information or data that is presented to you How can we protect ourselves from being fooled when the risk is high? The “illusory truth effect”: why do we have a tendency to treat familiarity as a sign of fact? How can we find that balance between accepting the truth bias and being cautious?
