How to craft communication that your audience will remember.Why do some messages stick, while others go in one ear and out the other? When it comes to crafting memorable communication, Ada Aka says not all verbiage is created equal. “Certain words are intrinsically more memorable than others,” says Aka, an assistant professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business. In her research of consumer behavior and decision-making, she's uncovered how language shapes not just our perception of the world, “but how the world stays with us over time." From concrete terms to emotionally charged ones, certain words have more staying power than others, and to communicators who want to capture audiences (and keep them), she says, “Carefully chosen words, they're going to be taking the attention.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Aka joins Matt Abrahams to explore the science of memorable communication. From creating brand slogans that stick to choosing words that align with your message, she reveals how to create communication that won't be forgotten.Episode Reference Links:Ada AkaEp.80 Magic Words: Change What You Say to Inspire and Influence Others Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:05) - The Power of Words in Memory (03:45) - What Makes Words Memorable?

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of "Discover Daily" by Perplexity, we explore new research suggesting that Ozempic, a drug primarily used for treating Type 2 diabetes and obesity, may have potential anti-aging benefits. Studies presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference in 2024 revealed that semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, could slow down biological aging by reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of age-related diseases. However, Ozempic isn't without risks, including potential vision changes and eye problems in some patients.We also delve into California's Digital Replica Bill (AB 1836), recently passed by the state Senate, which aims to regulate the use of AI-generated likenesses of deceased performers in media. The bill requires explicit consent from estates of deceased performers before creating digital replicas and establishes legal protections against unauthorized use. This legislation is part of a broader effort in California to regulate artificial intelligence and digital rights, following the passage of AB 2602, which requires informed consent and proper representation for alive performers when they are asked to waive rights to their digital personas.Our final segment focuses on a fascinating study from researchers at MIT and the University of California, Irvine, revealing that conversational AI powered by large language models can significantly amplify the creation of false memories in humans. The study found that generative chatbots induced nearly triple the number of false memories compared to control groups, raising important questions about the ethical use of AI in sensitive contexts like legal proceedings and clinical settings. As we continue to explore the intersection of AI and human cognition, this research reminds us of the complex and sometimes unexpected ways technology can impact our minds.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/ozempic-may-delay-aging-ueDtRO0PRKiJf4icvqQ5Ighttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/california-digital-replicas-bi-Jp.QEJe4QXiOwdButE4Zywhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/ai-amplifies-false-memories-Oi2YlbzuSyqDnm4m.RoxHwRedeem a free year of Perplexity Pro through Xfinity Rewards Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Dr. Paul Thigpen delves into Saint Augustine's profound exploration of human memory's role in spiritual life. Augustine's introspection reveals his deep interest in the soul's faculties and his motivation to share his past for enlightenment and self-improvement. Through his confession, he seeks understanding and connection with those who possess loving hearts, fostering gratitude, prayer, repentance, and a pursuit of God's presence beyond the limits of memory. Augustine's reflections not only humble readers with the complexity of the mind but also inspire a journey towards divine connection and enlightenment.Episode 15 covers Book X, Chapters 1-19.LEARN MORE - USE COUPON CODE COM25 FOR 25% OFF:Confessions of St. Augustine of Hippo by Anthony Esolen (https://bit.ly/3GX9HdF)The Roots of Western Civilization by Anthony Esolen (https://bit.ly/41Avi57)Saint Monica: Model of Christian Mothers by F.A.

Tiny, black-capped chickadees have big memories. They stash food in hundreds to thousands of locations in the wild – and then come back to these stashes when other food sources are low. Now, researchers at Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute think neural activity that works like a barcode may be to thank for this impressive feat — and that it might be a clue for how memories work across species.

Renowned psychologist Richard Atkinson, president emeritus of the University of California and professor emeritus of cognitive science and psychology at the UC, San Diego, presents an in-depth exploration of the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, a fundamental theory in memory research. The model proposed memory comprises three components: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Information moves from sensory to short-term memory with attention, and through rehearsal, it can transfer to long-term memory. The model highlighted attention and rehearsal's significance and laid a foundation for memory research, leaving a lasting impact on psychology. [Humanities] [Science] [Show ID: 38852]

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.04.14.536981v1?rss=1 Authors: Huffman, D. J., Guan, R. Abstract: Episodic memory is a core function that allows us to remember the events of our lives. Given that many events in our life contain overlapping elements (e.g., similar people and places), it is critical to understand how well we can remember the specific events of our lives vs. how susceptible we are to interference between similar memories. Decades of research have aimed to uncover the mechanisms of memory using a combination of behavioral tasks, neuroscientific measures, and computational modeling. Several prominent theories converged on the notion that the brain employs distinct neural mechanisms to support different aspects of episodic memory. Many theories suggest that the hippocampus plays a greater role in processes such as recollection, associative memory, and memory for specific details, while the neocortex plays a more prominent role in domain-specific memory (e.g., perirhinal cortex and object-based memory). Specifically, many studies have supported the role of specific subregions of the hippocampus in the computational mechanism of pattern separation, thus potentially allowing us to store and retrieve unique memories for similar experiences of our lives. However, a critical unaddressed question remains: What is the extent to which we make memory-based decisions using the purported pattern-separated representations in the hippocampus vs. other neural mechanisms that employ more distributed representations? We propose that studying human memory performance on tasks with targets and similar lures provides a critical testbed for comparing the competing predictions the role of hippocampal pattern separation vs. more distributed representations in supporting human episodic memory. We generated predictions from competing computational models of performance on memory tests with targets and similar lures and then we tested these predictions in a large sample of human participants (N=145). We found that the comparison between simulated neural responses in an object-processing region of the brain (area IT) and human memory performance exhibited a linear relationship, thus better supporting the predictions of distributed memory models than models of hippocampal pattern separation. Likewise, we observed strong effects of test format on performance as well as clear and consistent relationships between test formats, and these results were also better accounted for by the distributed memory models than the proposed pattern-separated representations of the hippocampus. Altogether, our results provide an important challenge to prominent theories of human memory and provide an important alternative mechanism for explaining human memory performance; therefore, we discuss the implications of our results for reinterpreting previous behavioral, neuroscientific, and computational modeling research and we propose avenues for future research.

M., Sladky, V., Mivalt, F., Crepeau, D., Dolezal, J., Alden, E., Lundstrom, B., Klassen, B., Messina, S., Brinkmann, B. H., Miller, K. J., Van Gompel, J. J., Kremen, V., Worrell, G., Kucewicz, M. T. Abstract: Electrical stimulation is a powerful therapeutic tool for treating neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. Sensing and modulating electrophysiological biomarkers of memory over extended timescales is necessary for tracking and improving memory in humans. Here, we describe results from humans in their natural home environments using a novel, investigational system enabling chronic stimulation and multi-channel recording of anterior thalamic and hippocampal local field potentials during memory tasks. Four people with focal epilepsy performed a free recall verbal memory task repeatedly for up to fifty months on a touch-screen device with wireless signal acquisition with electrophysiology and behavioral data streaming to a cloud environment. Anterior thalamic-hippocampal spectral activities in the theta frequency range were found to correlate with memory processing, to predict task performance, and to be modulated by deep brain stimulation. Our results provide a new biomarker-based technology for chronic remote tracking of memory performance and modulation of the associated neural activities. Copy rights belong to original authors.

In 2018, New London was designated a "site of memory" on the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization's slave route project, an effort launched in 1994 to "break the silence" around the history of slavery. New London Landmarks held a ceremony in July to recognize the designation, installing a plaque at Amistad Pier. The site is considered the sixteenth stop on the New London Black Heritage Trail, which was unveiled last year. The "Middle Passage to New London" plaque explains that in 1761, the Speedwell, a large schooner, arrived in New London from the west coast of Africa transporting 74 captive people. 21 people had not survived the harrowing voyage. "The Speedwell docked in New London for several days before sailing to Middletown." New London joins Middletown and 51 other ports, or "sites of memory," in North America. The plaque, and the designation itself, are meant to honor those who died during the Middle Passage, "and the enslaved people whose forced labor created much of New London's early wealth and led to disparities which still exist today." This hour, we hear from local historians about their research, showing the Speedwell represents a small part of the city's links to slavery. Plus, the Hempsted Houses are prominently featured on the New London Black Heritage Trail. We'll hear from assistant site administrator Nicole Thomas.

Has the artificial memory already taken a complete possession of the human memory? Have Indians altogether forgotten from where they arrived here? Where does one locate the beginning of India as a civilisation? Does it originate in the Vedas? Does it go back to the Indus civilisation? Was there a civilisation before the Indian mythos emerged? What was India when the Holocene began 12000 years before our time? Why is there politics being constructed around the question of India's origin? This lecture will discuss the need for a People's Report on Indian civilisation and the efforts being made towards preparing such a report. This episode of BIC Talks is an extract from the second of a series of four masterclass lectures by Prof. G N Devy, titled Memory, Culture and The Being of India that took place in the BIC premises in early February 2022.

A very common problem amongst older people is the development of cognitive disorders. This results in more round the clock care needed which can be very expensive. But it's not all doom and gloom as there is a solution being developed that will help. Zhanat Makhataeva, PhD candidate in Robotics Engineering at Nazarbayev University School of Engineering and Digital Sciences, has developed an app for digital headsets called ExoMem , an AR-based human memory augmentation system. Zhanat talks about the app, the equipment used with the app, future versions of the app, the freedom users will have, and Microsoft HoloLens. Zhanat also talks about how developing the app came about, how improving technology has helped, battery life, memory, trying to live a normal life, future plans for the project, AI, and her internship with Microsoft in London. More about the app Zhanat is developing: The app works by recognising and remembering objects and their location to aid individuals and mitigate the effects of conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer's. Zhanat believes that AR head-mounted displays, computing technologies, and AI algorithms can significantly benefit research in assistive systems and human-technology interaction, especially for people affected by cognitive impairments and memory decline. The augmentation of hearing and vision in humans, which can help both healthy people and people with cognitive impairments, is a possible direction for AR and AI research. By restoring the perception and memory functions of people with cognitive impairments, we can improve not only the lives of patients, but also those around them.

Say you are the kind of person who is trustworthy enough to be given a lab with dozens of research mice. Also, say that you are the kind of person who does good science and tests male and female rats in equal measure to test if chromosomes and sex hormones might cause a difference in how the brain works. Then say you were smart enough to realise some drugs may alter memory. Well if all of those things are true then you are Dr Raul Andero Gali and the guest of this episode talking about how to better understand why certain drugs change the behaviour of mice when it comes to forming memories. This episode in particular talks about neurodiversity, that through these drugs we can understand how male and female brains are different in their structure but that doesn't mean they are different in how they function in everyday life. Curious, then tune in.

Smells generate some of the most powerful memory experiences but we don't know why. This episode explores not only why smells do generate such powerful memories but why are they more powerful than other senses? To understand that we need to not only be able to measure the memory centres of our brain but be able to find a way to compare senses which are in many ways incomparable.

Criminal Behaviorology Kids, Cars and Danger Janette Fennell had a rather dramatic beginning in her advocacy of car safety. Kidnapped at gunpoint with her husband, they were placed in the trunk of their own car and transported to an unknown location. After they managed to escape with their bare hands, she sought out data on cases of trunk entrapment and what could be done in terms of prevention. In time, she helped mandate interior trunk releases for all cars in the United States. Because of the efforts of this one-woman data collection machine, she began to work on the phenomenon of children dying in hot cars after lapses in memory by their parents. This episode focuses on the tragic and the hopeful. Dr. David Diamond, memory expert and neuroscientist, joins us to discuss his role in answering the question: “How could a parent mistakenly leave their own child in a vehicle?” As hundreds of children have died in hot car deaths, and notable criminal prosecutions have resulted, we delve into the intricacies of the human memory and technology that could save the lives of many. Video of this interview in its entirety: https://youtu.be/pGcUNnuSpHY Show Highlights: Janette’s kidnapping from her own garage and escape from being contained in the trunk of her car. The realization that the National Highway Safety Administration did not collect data on deaths and injuries related to vehicles not on the roads, despite numerous such incidents in many different ways. The reality of children being left in hot cars. The change in environment (within the car) that came from laws having children ride in the back to prevent deaths from airbag deployment. Notable cases such as the films Stop All Clocks and especially the Justin Ross Harris case in Fatal Distraction. How prosecutors are handling cases like this. The significance of public perception and particularly how the media has responded. Dr. Diamond discusses the significance of brain anatomy and his own experiences in the potential for a loss of awareness due to environmental and neurological factors. The Hot Cars Act and the potential for an improvement in vehicle safety using technology to save the lives of children. The significance of data collection in regards to why some issues are perceived as important and others are sadly neglected.

Do you remember when you were a kid, and you had that great day at Disneyland where you got to meet Bugs Bunny? No? Think harder. It was a sunny day... In this episode of Rationally Speaking, Julia interviews psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, whose pioneering work on human memory revealed that our memories can be contaminated by the questions people ask us, or by misinformation we encounter after the fact -- even to the point of making us remember entire events that never could have happened. (Like meeting Bugs Bunny, a Warner Bros character, at Disneyland.) Sped up the speakers by ['1.0', '1.02']

Dr. Asaf Marco is a memory expert from MIT who came on episode 9 of Think Fast. His work studies how memory formation and the genes instead our neurons can be manipulated to better understand the day to day working of human memory formation. This episode was fascinating too because his lab has used newly bred research mice with specifically created neurons that help both with fluorescence when the memory systems are 'active' and also to be super precise to the conditions Dr Marco wanted to study. The studies attached on our site watercoolerneuroscience.co.uk were gifted to the site by Dr Marco so those who want to learn more about his work can find out, for those who just want the overview please press play

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.30.180174v1?rss=1 Authors: Schonhaut, D. R., Ramayya, A. G., Solomon, E. A., Herweg, N. A., Fried, I., Kahana, M. J. Abstract: Functional interactions between the hippocampus and cortex are critical for episodic memory. Neural oscillations are believed to coordinate these interactions, and in rodents, prefrontal neurons phase-lock to hippocampal theta oscillations during memory-guided behavior. We assessed inter-regional phase-locking to hippocampal oscillations in humans by recording 1,233 cortical and amygdala neurons and simultaneous hippocampal local field potentials in 18 neurosurgical patients. We identified 362 neurons (29.4%) from multiple regions that phase-locked to rhythmic hippocampal activity, predominantly at theta (2-8Hz) frequencies. Compared to baseline spiking, strong theta phase-locking coincided with regionally-specific increases in hippocampal theta power, local and hippocampal high frequency activity, and cross-frequency power correlations between the hippocampus and a phase-locked neuron's local region. These results reveal that spike-time synchrony with hippocampal theta is a defining feature of cortico-hippocampal functional connections in humans. We propose that theta phase-locking could mediate flexible inter-regional communication to shape the content and quality of episodic memories. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Memory is changing. Research shows that as we use the Internet to support and extend our memory we become more reliant on it. Whereas before we might have tried to recall something on our own, now we don't bother. As more information becomes available via smartphones and other devices, we become progressively more reliant on it in our daily lives." Full blog post at safetyphd.com WHAT IS COGNITIVE OFFLOADING? Rather than attempt to mentally store and manipulate all the relevant details about a situation within the brains of individuals (also known as actors), we physically store and manipulate those details out in the world, in the very situation itself. All of us do this - some of us are more effective at it. Cognitive offloading is anything you do to reduce the cognitive demands of a task: basically, to make it take up less mental space. WHAT INFORMATION ARE WE EXPECTED TO MEMORIZE? In practice - cognitive offloading replaces memorizing maps, state capitals, names of former presidents -- instead, you know where this information is stored and; (A) how to query it; (b) how to access it; and (c) how to apply it. EXAMPLES OF COGNITIVE OFFLOADING. Here are examples of how humans cognitively offload information into the environment (instead of committing it to memory):  (1) checklist for winterizing your lawn mower; (2) flipchart for what to do during a crisis; and (3) AED with voice output directions and various colored light cues to step you through how to use it to save a life. INTERNET HAS MADE OUR BRAINS LAZY. Per researcher Dr. Benjamin Storm, 30% of participants who previously consulted the Internet failed to even attempt to answer a single simple question from memory. We look external for answers instead of attempting to figure out things on our own. By discarding face validity (our own observations), we commit to trusting that search results will bring us the most vetted information. WHY IT'S DIFFICULT TO STUDY COGNITIVE OFFLOADING. Despite much research, the mechanisms that trigger cognitive offloading are not well understood at present -- such as why people offload some things and not others and how people optimise cognitive-offloading strategies without those strategies needing to be explicitly instructed. Researchers find it difficult to study the act of people creating reminders for delayed intentions without explicitly telling them about the existence of a compensatory strategy. People tend to do offload more in a condition they perceived as more difficult, not necessarily the condition that was objectively more difficult. WHAT COGNITIVE OFFLOADING LOOKS LIKE IN SCHOOL SAFETY. Cognitive Offloading manifests as crisis flipcharts hung by classroom doors or converted to electronic files accessible on desktop computers and mobile devices.  It also takes the shape of the “step you through a crisis” phone apps that are inherent to most school safety protocols. FLAWS WITH COGNITIVE OFFLOADING IN SCHOOL SAFETY. Crises have befallen schools with elaborate school safety plans. These tools fatigue if not exercised by the actors - or the students, staff and families. You can't just expect to retrieve critical safety information from the environment during a high-stakes crisis situation. You need some level of practice, of familiarity. If we could just retrieve information and immediately make sense of it per our stressed situation and context, each of us could successfully land an airplane. FOUR WAYS TO BE BETTER AT COGNITIVE OFFLOADING. (1) Probability of having to deal with a situation - if it's infrequent, opt for cognitive offloading. Aso, use visuals, handwritten notes. Writing notes by hand generally improves your understanding of the material and helps you remember it better, since writing it down involves deeper cognitive-processing of the material than typing it. (2) Don't offload things you need to memorize such as the rules of the road for driving. (3) Practice how to search for information from reliable sources such as JURN.org or by talking with your face validity member check network. You'll excel at harvesting valid, trusted information and others will see this admirable characteristic in you. (4) Practice metacognition, or awareness of how you think, to avoid the Dunning-Kruger effect of cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability.

Weekly Grooves is the podcast where we explore topical issues through the lens of behavioral science. Tim Houlihan and Kurt Nelson, PhD have worked in the world of behavioral interventions for more than 20 years and we each run our own consultancies. In Weekly Grooves, we view the headlines through the lenses of behavioral science.This week, we were struck by the way people were talking about Kobe Bryant after his sudden death in a helicopter crash in which he and eight other people perished, including his 13-year old daughter, Gianna. Kobe was only 41 years old.And while his life is abundant with great accomplishments, both on and off the basketball court, he spent some time in the headlines for not-so-nice things. And what Kurt and I want to look at today is how we remember them after they’ve died or how we think of people as they grow old.© 2020 Weekly GroovesKurt Nelson, PhD: @whatmotivatesTim Houlihan: @THoulihanLinksKobe Bryant Achievements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_career_achievements_by_Kobe_BryantKobe Bryant Sexual Assault Case: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant_sexual_assault_caseHuman Memory, a book by Gabriel A.

Email us, stories@zeropercentscared.com This episode was sort of a bummer, sorry folks. Major take homes: the Satanic Panic was bonkers, go nuts with the heavy metal and DnD, and our memories, for the most part, suck.   On this minisode, we talk about the 80s Satanic Panic and how insane and unjust it was. Also, some deeply cool science about memory and the risks of listening to smooth jazz.

Learn about the connection between stories and memories that last and why some stories are far more memorable than others. Business storytelling expert Eamonn O'Brien chats with specialist researcher on human cognition and memory, author of Human Memory, and University of Notre Dame Professor Gabriel Radvansky about how the human brain operates and memories are formed - delving into why you are hard wired to remember stories ahead of any other information you encounter AND the secrets to stories you'll find easy to remember for years vs hours or days! 

As the Chief Executive Officer of Nia Therapeutics, Dan Rizzuto and his team are currently developing a neurological implant that increases the memory of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s diseases and traumatic brain injury. By using deep brain stimulation (DBS) to increase high frequency functions and decrease low frequency functions in areas important to memory, such as the frontal lobe, Nia Therapeutics has successfully improved memory capability by 18%. Though this is only the beginning for a new neurotechnology, Rizzuto and his team provide hope for patients suffering from debilitating diseases to be able to fully function again and experience healthy aging. Nia Therapeutics is currently recruiting hardware engineers. The listing for this profession is available at: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/principal-electrical-engineer-at-nia-therapeutics-993933469/  Important Research Concerning Topic: Burke et al. (2014) Human intracranial high-frequency activity maps episodic memory formation in space and time. Neuroimage, 85: 834–843. This paper from our group identifies the intracranial biomarkers of human memory. High-frequency activity in specific brain regions during the encoding of new memories predicts whether subjects will remember the information at a later time. Ezzyat et al (2017) Direct Brain Stimulation Modulates Encoding States and Memory Performance in Humans. Current Biology 27(9):1251-1258. This paper illustrates how direct brain stimulation can be used to modulate memory performance. In 36 patients with implanted electrodes we demonstrated both positive and negative effects on recall performance, depending on the timing of stimulation relative to the patient's ongoing brain activity. Ezzyat et al (2018) Closed-loop stimulation of temporal cortex rescues functional networks and improves memory. Nature Communications, 9(1):365.This recent paper from our team shows how precisely timed and targeted brain stimulation was used to reliably improve word recall performance in 25 patients with implanted electrodes. Top Three Takeaways: 1. Biomarkers for high memory capability include increased high-frequency activity and decreased low-frequency activity in certain areas of the brain. 2. An 18% increase in memory compounds over time greatly increasing the capabilities of a person. 3. No major side-effects have been noted as of now; the potential for memory improvement still continues to grow for those suffering from traumatic brain injury. Show Notes [0:00] Nia Therapeutics seeks to improve memory for patients suffering from traumatic brain injury through an implant. [2:00] The company developed in January of 2018 as part of the Restoring Active Memory Project funded by DARPA. [4:00] There are clear biomarkers that indicate good or bad memory. [7:00] With the known biomarkers, the brain can be stimulated into a mode of good memory. [8:45] The biomarkers of good memory encoding in the brain mirror the biomarkers of good retrieval. [10:15] This technology is specifically meant for those suffering from traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases. [12:30] There was a documented 18% increase in memory from the implantable device; this would move 25% of memory-impaired individuals from disabled to nondisabled. [14:30] Memory increase compounds over time. [16:00] There are still surgical risks associated with this treatment. [19:30] No major side-effects have been documented. [22:00] Rizzuto recently closed Nia’s first financing of over one million dollars. [24:00] The funding will be enough to design a platform; extensive testing through the FDA is still necessary. [28:00] Patients are the unsung heroes of the clinical trials. [30:00] Many of the patients who volunteered suffered from epilepsy which is an effect of traumatic brain injury. [32:00] Some patients experienced 30-40% memory improvement; the idea of this technology is to restore memory.

In this episode, I talk with Mark Schurgin, Graduate Fellow based in the Visual Thinking Lab at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. We talk about Mark's work combining his experience and knowledge of vision research memory, investigating how basic knowledge that we have about how the world works - our 'core knowledge' supports our memory about objects. We talk more about how Mark discovered this, and implications for processes such as machine learning for autonomous self-driving vehicles, devices such as Alexa or Siri, facial recognition software. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sarb-johal/message

Judy and Teresa are vexed by episodes 15-16 of “Go Go Waikiki” (으라차차 와이키키), a JTBC drama starring Kim JungHyun, Lee YiKyung, Song SeungWon, Jung InSun, Go WonHee and Lee JooWoo. How is Donggoo (Kim JungHyun) the main character? How and why do his housemates endure his self-absorbed antics? Why does Yoonah (Jung InSun) like him? Teresa suggests that Yoonah is so bland because she’s supposed to be a Mary-Sue character and Judy is tremendously irritated. Is Yoonah so without personal motivation that Hyunjoon (Kang KyungJoon) has to tell her that she likes Donggoo and there's a montage that's supposed to prove this?  Here's a clip from "Community" season 2 episode, "Paradigms of Human Memory", which shows montages can be manipulated to work for anybody: Click here!

Hello and Welcome all as we wrap up our with friends experiment with arguably one of our hosts' favorite shows of all time: Community. Listen along as we get an episode almost hand picked for the absurd nature of this podcast and as our good friend, and Secret Street Fighter Character comrade Deljon Willis is unimpressed by it, and our bullshit. We talk about Annie's Boobs, when it's so meta it hurts, and how sometimes you just get a bad episode. Thank you to all of our guests who joined us this month and we hope you enjoy the last episode of You've Never Seen That: With Friends. Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee. 

Episode 122 brings Blue, Justin, Green, & Beard back together to dive into the lore that we have concerning the Exo race (focusing heavily on Guardians, since that's a predominately the information that we have in Destiny 2) and their relationship with the concept of artificial intelligence. A big question that keeps getting brought up is: is the Exo 'mind' an artificial construct...or is it a natural intelligence which lives within an artificial shell? Is there a difference, at the end of the day? Why are Beard and Blue agreeing with each other so much?   Also be sure to weigh in for the community question for this week   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

0406 Weird and Wonderful : facts about human memory

This is Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.China will appoint local government heads as river chiefs across the country to clean up and protect its water resources.Guidelines published by the Chinese central authorities say the river chiefs will be responsible for the management and protection of the watercourses, much as mayors and county heads are responsible for their beats.The central government expects to turn such practices into a nationwide mechanism by the end of 2018.China firstly appointed local government officials as river chiefs in 2007 to address pollution woes of a blue algae outbreak in Taihu Lake in eastern China.The practice was later adopted in several regions rich in water resources to ensure strong enforcement of environmental policies and enhance coordination.Provincial governors will be general chiefs that are responsible for all rivers and lakes in the region, while officials at various levels will be appointed as chiefs of particular rivers and lakes.For large rivers and lakes that span across more than one administrative region, river chiefs will be responsible for different parts of the water bodies and cooperate on management.The responsibilities of the river chiefs will include water resource protection, pollution prevention and control, and ecological restoration. Their job performance will be assessed and they will be held accountable if environmental damage occurs in the water bodies they take charge of.This is Special English.The Ministry of Education says the country will further open-up its educational sector to the world and raise its cultural exchange sector to a national strategic level.Efforts will be exerted to serve both overseas students in China and Chinese students studying abroad. It will support schools jointly-run by China and other countries.China planned to send 29,000 government-sponsored students this year as part of an initiative to train talent with global vision.Around 520,000 Chinese people studied abroad in 2015, making China the world's top source of international students. Meanwhile, China is the world's third largest study destination, following the United States and the United Kingdom. Almost 400,000 foreign students studied in China last year.Sino-foreign cooperative education has progressed rapidly in China in recent years. China has established more than 2,400 cooperative programs with 700 overseas universities. The country has signed agreements on the mutual recognition of academic degrees and diplomas with 44 countries and regions.China has begun national-level educational cooperation with countries including the United States, Russia, the U.K, and France. China plans to raise such exchanges to a national strategic level in the future. You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.A freight train loaded with meat from Germany has arrived in Chengdu, the capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province.The train took 13 days to travel 12,000 kilometers from Nuremberg, Germany, to Chengdu, and was loaded with 22 tonnes of German pork. All the meat products will be put on the Chinese market after passing quarantine inspection.The train saves 45 days of transport time compared with shipping by sea, and saves costs of 10,000 yuan, roughly 1,500 U.S. dollars, per ton when compared with air freight.The China-Europe freight train marks the opening of the railway channel for China to import meat products from Europe.The train's terminal, an international railway depot in Chengdu, is the first meat import inland depot in western China.This is Special English.China has implanted artificial cochleae free of charge for more than 20,000 impoverished, severely hearing impaired children since 2009.China's health authority told the Xinhua News Agency that the work is part of a special program launched in 2009, with a total investment of 2 billion yuan, roughly 330 million U.S. dollars. The National Health and Family Planning Commission said at a meeting organized by the World Health Organization that China sets great store in the health of people's hearing, making significant efforts in the area.The commission said the health authority will strengthen its efforts in this regard, especially in the prevention of birth defects and newborn screening, as well as improving the capabilities of rural health institutions. You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.Scientists have announced that a fossilized-feathered dinosaur tail has been discovered in a piece of amber, complete with bones and feathers.Researchers believe that the tail belongs to a tiny dinosaur that lived around 99 million years ago during the mid-Cretaceous period.A paper on the findings, co-authored by Chinese paleontologist Xing Lida, Canadian scientist Ryan C. McKellar and others, has been published in the journal "Current Biology".This is the first time dinosaur material has been found fossilized in amber.The specimen has been named "Eva".The tail is six centimeters long, by which scientists estimate that the dinosaur was 18 centimeters long. The feathers on the tail appear to be brown on the top and pale white on the underside.Xing said the specimen has been so well preserved that they believe it is very close to what it would have looked like when the dinosaur was alive.The amber was found in Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar. Philip J. Currie, from the Academy of Science under the Royal Society of Canada, said he had never expected to see such a well preserved dinosaur specimen.Scientists cannot confirm if Eva was a juvenile or adult based on its bones. There were no obvious signs of a violent struggle leading to the animal being encased by the sap upon death. The cause of death cannot be confirmed either.This is Special English.Chinese scientists say they found a new way to effectively inhibit a person's fearful memories arising from traumatic events including domestic violence and war.Animal testing found that fear can be effectively removed by transplanting a special kind of nerve cell into the brains of an adult mouse. The study was led by Yu Yongchun, a researcher at Fudan University in Shanghai.The findings are expected to shine new light on the treatment of severe mental conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. The study results have been published online by Neuron, an influential journal in the field of neuroscience. The research is expected to help explore new strategies for treating PTSD, which is caused by indelible and traumatic memories including traffic accidents, hairy spiders, a nasty breakup or military combat. Patients with PTSD often exhibit anxiety, depression, chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, drug abuse, and alcohol addiction.Statistics show that around 80 percent of adults have experienced a traumatic event at least once in their lifetimes, while 5 to 10 percent have experienced severe psychological trauma that can be diagnosed as PTSD. So far, the treatment of PTSD involves a combination of psychology and medication. However, mental symptoms often return after the treatment is stopped. You're listening to Special English.

Now the news continues.A new book on the Nanjing massacre in World War Two has been released in China's eastern city of Nanjing in Jiangsu Province.The book is called "Human Memory: the Solid Evidence of the Nanjing Massacre". It consists of around 200 documents and images from China, Japan and other countries which participated in the post-war trials.Editor-in-chief of the book, Zhang Xianwen from Nanjing University said that only when a nation keeps its memory intact can it learn lessons and be inspired.A research institute on the Nanjing Massacre and world peace was established by Nanjing University and other bodies in March. It selected the documents from archives and libraries in China, the United States, Germany, Britain and Japan.The provincial government has granted peace medals to descendants of six foreigners, including John Rabe from Germany, who helped save civilians during the massacre.Japanese troops occupied Nanjing on December 13, 1937, and began a six-week massacre. Records show that more than 300,000 people, including disarmed soldiers and civilians, were killed.Since 2014, China has marked December 13 as National Memorial Day. This is Special English.China has vowed to strengthen the management of online streaming, prohibiting unlawful and obscene content.The country's media watchdog says authorities will crack down on activities that use live streaming to break the law or undermine people's interests. In 2016, the authority handled more than 100 cases suspected of violating laws and regulations. The cases included online dramas, films and other audio-visual products. A regulation on live streaming has been in effect since December 1. It requires presenters to register with their real names and service providers to censor content and blacklist users who break the rules, prohibiting them from registering again. It also bans the use of live streams to undermine national security, destabilize society, or infringe upon others' rights and interests.Online streaming has grown rapidly in China in recent years, generating huge business opportunities while bringing challenges to regulators. By the end of June, the number of streaming service users reached 500 million, accounting for 70 percent of China's Internet population. Reports show that watching video online has become the primary form of entertainment in China, followed by gaming and reading literature online.You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.A survey has found that female employees in China are more loyal to their employers and have higher brand satisfaction than their male counterparts. The survey, entitled China Best Employers 2016, is based on feedback from more than 4 million respondents, around 53 percent of whom were women. The results were jointly published by Peking University's Institute of Social Science Survey and Zhaopin.com, a Chinese human resources website.The report found that 38 percent of the female respondents have never changed their jobs, 11 percent higher than male respondents. Twenty percent of the females have been in their current job for more than five years, while for males, it was half that number, 10 percent. The survey also found that female employees care more about soft aspects of the workplace, including a positive and comfortable work environment, while at the same time, they desire equal pay for equal work. While female employees attach great importance to learning vocational skills as their career develops, the survey found that male employees care more about promotions. Women with work experience of less than one year are the most eager to improve their skills. The survey found that 56 percent of such women think improving their skills is the most important aspect of their career over the next three years. This is Special English.China has more than 20,000 civilian drones, or unmanned aircraft vehicles, and half of them are operating without a license. Officials suggest that an electric fence could be built in order to supervise and contain unlicensed drones.They suggest that a new technology called U-Cloud would also be useful. The U-Cloud is similar to the black boxes in planes and can be used to supervise the data of civilian drones in real time.Experts say that by registering drones and implementing effective technology, it will be possible to track the drones and the owners down....

Fingers and Tracy discuss the latest way the feds are trying to tax drivers, the media's reaction to Brexit, and Fingers thinks he's sniffed out a scam being perpetrated by Uber drivers. Then Democratic pollster and Fox News contributor Pat Caddell is back and he's fired up about the Benghazi commission report, BJ Clinton's meeting with Loretta Lynch, Hillary's emails, Brexit, and our pathetic sycophantic media. Pat also shared with us his pro-tips for reading polls that you don't want to miss.

Do you remember when you were a kid, and you had that great day at Disneyland where you got to meet Bugs Bunny? No? Think harder. It was a sunny day... In this episode of Rationally Speaking, Julia interviews psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, whose pioneering work on human memory revealed that our memories can be contaminated by the questions people ask us, or by misinformation we encounter after the fact -- even to the point of making us remember entire events that never could have happened. (Like meeting Bugs Bunny, a Warner Bros character, at Disneyland.)

A person is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. They say, “One picture is worth a thousand words.”I say, “In 1985, after finding that pretty but unlabeled icons confused customers, the Apple Computer Human Interface Group adopted the motto, ‘A word is worth a thousand pictures,' and a descriptive word or phrase was added beneath all Macintosh icons. Read it for yourself in Digital Marketing: A Practical Approach by Alan Charlesworth, page 123.” They say, “It's been scientifically proven that 93 percent of all human communication is nonverbal.”I say, “Show me the study. Show me who verified it. And please, for the love of God, don't pretend to quote Dr. Albert Mehrabian because not one person who has ever quoted Mehrabian to me has ever read any of his books. Admit it. A sales trainer showed you a pie chart and said 55% of human communication is body language and 38% is tone of voice and only 7% are the words we speak.” Pie charts are not proof. In Mehrabian's earliest book, Silent Messages (1971,) he speculated that during moments of extreme word/gesture contradiction, the words themselves contribute about 7 percent of the meaning we perceive, while tone of voice contributes about 38% and the rest – 55% – is body language. But Mehrabian makes it plain that these estimates pertain ONLY to moments when (1.) a speaker is describing their feelings and emotions and (2.) their physical gestures and tone of voice contradict their words. When a person is holding up their middle finger as they say, “Yeah, I love you, too,” don't trust the words; trust the finger. In 1994, when it became obvious that sales trainers in front of white boards were grievously misquoting his 55/38/7 statement, Mehrabian said for the record “Unless a communicator is talking about their feelings or attitudes, these equations are not applicable.” They say, “Everything we've ever seen or heard is stored somewhere in our brain and under hypnosis we can remember it.”I say, “On December 10, 2000, Matt Crenson, a science writer for the Associated Press summarized what scientists have proven in countless experiments:” We often imagine our memories faithfully storing everything we do. But there is no mechanism in our heads that stores sensory perceptions as a permanent, unchangeable form. Instead, our minds use a complex system to convert a small percentage of what we see into nothing more than a pattern of connections between nerve cells. Researchers have learned that this system can be fooled. Ask a witness, ‘How fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?' and they will name a much higher speed than if they are asked, ‘How fast were the cars going when they made contact?'”They say, “Okay, now it's your turn to name the scientist who did the research. And please, for the love of God, don't pretend to quote Dr. Albert Mehrabian.”I say, “Yes, Matt Crenson failed to identify the unnamed ‘researchers' he was quoting, but I immediately recognized the study as a Loftus & Palmer experiment reported by Dr. Alan Baddeley in his 1999 book, Essentials of Human Memory. In that experiment, groups of people were asked to watch the video of a collision between two automobiles. Viewers who were asked, ‘How fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?' gave answers averaging 40.8 MPH and reported having seen broken glass. But the group who was asked, ‘How fast were the cars going when they made contact?' reported speeds averaging only 31.8 MPH and remembered no broken glass, even though both groups had just watched the same video.” They say, “But it's been proven that we remember more of what we see than what we hear.”I say, “Would you be willing to trust the opinion of Professor Steven Pinker whose research on vision, language, and social relations was awarded prizes from the National Academy of Sciences, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society,

Human beings are memory machines, for better or for worse. There is an autobiographical narrative that is alive inside all of us, and just as individual memories seem to create me, memories in the morphogenetic field create the collective culture of my family, my society. Most people are familiar with the effects that major trauma like car accidents, sexual abuse and so on, can have on a person. But our sense of self is also formed by the “little 't' traumas”, the small humiliations.

The boys reflect on the fact that, though the dream of #sixoriginalcastmembers gets one loss closer to death, the dream of #sixseasonsandamovie lives on.

Ask the wrong question and you will get the wrong answer Most businesses target an imaginary customer because someone – probably an advertising salesman – once asked, “Who is your customer?” Ask any businessperson, “Who is your customer?” and he or she will likely answer with a singular customer profile. Something like, “My customer is a career woman between 28 and 44 years old, college educated, making at least $45,000 per year. She has exceptional taste and style and wants to express her individuality through her purchases.” And her favorite author is Danielle Steele and she likes to take long walks on the beach in the moonlight, right? Ill-advised questions like, “Who is your customer?” must find their answers in that shadowland where memory meets imagination. Although it may seem logical on the surface, “Who is your customer?” is a dangerously worded question. Yes, I said “dangerously” worded. Your whole life you've been told, “We remember more of what we see than what we hear.” But it isn't true. In fact, clinical tests have proven quite the opposite: the precise wording of what enters our ears profoundly alters what we see in our mind. The question, “Who is your customer?” conjures the mental image of an individual since “customer” isn't plural. Ask that same business owner, “How many different types of people do you serve?” and you'll get a radically different, far more valuable answer. So now you're going to tell me the 28 to 44 year-old female customer profile you gave me was the average customer, right? Dr. Neil Postman, the celebrated Chair of the Department of Culture and Communications at New York University, has this to say about that:  “We must keep in mind the story of the statistician who drowned while trying to wade across a river with an average depth of four feet. That is to say, in a culture that reveres statistics, we can never be sure what sort of nonsense will lodge in people's heads… A question, even of the simplest kind, is not, and never can be unbiased. The structure of any question is as devoid of neutrality as its content. The form of a question may ease our way or pose obstacles. Or, when even slightly altered, it may generate antithetical answers, as in the case of the two priests who, being unsure if it was permissible to smoke and pray at the same time, wrote to the Pope for a definitive answer. One priest phrased the question ‘Is it permissible to smoke while praying?' and was told it is not, since prayer should be the focus of one's whole attention; the other priest asked if it is permissible to pray while smoking and was told that it is, since it is always permissible to pray.”In a Loftus & Palmer experiment reported by Dr. Alan Baddeley in his 1999 book, Essentials of Human Memory*, a group of people were asked to watch the video of a collision between two automobiles. Viewers who were asked, “How fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?” gave answers averaging 40.8 MPH and reported having seen broken glass. But viewers reported speeds averaging only 31.8 MPH and remembered no broken glass when asked, “How fast were the cars going when they made contact?” Keep in mind that each group had seen the same video only a few moments before these questions were asked.  Control the question and you control the mental image it conjures. Create your marketing plan around the question, “Who is my customer?” and you'll soon bump your head against a very low ceiling. The true profiles of “your customer” are like the characters in a Fellini movie; an unimaginable circus of people with conflicted personalities and unconscious buying motives. Proponents of hyper-targeting are quick to say, “You're using the shotgun approach. I believe in putting the customer in the crosshairs of a rifle.” But we're not hunting just one customer, are we? Hyper-targeters believe in fishing with a hook. But for best...

Are you one who believes the reliability of research is assured when the sample size is adequate and the respondents are properly qualified? If so, “research” will likely lead you to some tragic conclusions if it hasn't done so already. The problem with most research is that it's done by mathematical types who have little appreciation of the nuances of language. Ask a witness, “How fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?” and they will name a much higher speed than if they are asked, “How fast were the cars going when they made contact?” (This is not a speculative assertion. The full report can be found in Essentials of Human Memory by Dr. Alan Baddeley.) What's missing in most survey writers is an understanding of the illogic that we humans call logic. Neurologist Richard Cytowic was nominated for a Pulitzer in 1982. This is what he had to say in The Man Who Tasted Shapes: “My innate analytic personality had been reinforced by twenty years of training in science and medicine. I reflexively analyzed whatever passed my way and firmly believed that the intellect could conquer everything through reason. 'You need an antidote to your incessant intellectualizing,' Clark had once suggested, 'something to put you in touch with the irrational side of your mind.'… I had never considered that there might be more to the human mind than the rational part that I was familiar with. It had never once occurred to me that a force to balance rationality existed, let alone that it might be a normal part of the human psyche.” When Cytowic began to study this “force to balance rationality” he learned: “…some of our personal knowledge is off limits even to our own inner thoughts! Perhaps this is why humans are so often at odds with themselves, because there is more going on in our minds than we can ever consciously know.” “If a new soft drink came along that you thought tasted better than your current favorite, would you switch to it?” “Which of these two colas tastes better to you?” “Thank you for your opinion. You have been very helpful.” But when New Coke was introduced, America hated it. We were outraged, You're messing with our heritage! New Coke wasn't a genius marketing ploy to remind us of how much we loved old Coke. It was a genuine screw-up, fueled by millions in research. Joey Reiman, a founding partner of the BrightHouse Institute, (one of Coca-Cola's research partners) gave an interview to the New York Times on Oct 26, 2003. “Focus groups are ultimately less about gathering hard data and more about pretending to have concrete justifications for a hugely expensive ad campaign. 'The sad fact is, people tell you what you want to hear, not what they really think,' Reiman said. 'Sometimes there's a focus-group bully, a loudmouth who's so insistent about his opinion that it influences everyone else. This is not a science; it's a circus.'” The article went on to say: “Advertising's main tool, of course, has been the focus group, a classic technique of social science. Marketers in the United States spent more than $1 billion last year on focus groups, the results of which guided about $120 billion in advertising. But focus groups are plagued by a basic flaw of human psychology: people often do not know their own minds.” Ask a person to speculate about what they would do in a particular circumstance and they'll tell you what they truly believe they would do. But when the actual circumstance comes upon them, they do something else entirely. My advice: Quit asking people what they think. Begin watching what they do. Ignore their words; study their actions. Still not convinced that numbers are easily misinterpreted and misunderstood? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1932226397/qid=1116196273/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-3074714-9944750?v=glance&s=books (In a recent Los Angeles Times article) Peter Gosselin writes about economists who won the...
