PDF-(EBOOK)-The Invisible Gorilla: How Our Intuitions Deceive Us

Reading this book will make you less sure of yourselfand thats a good thing In The Invisible Gorilla Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons creators of one of psychologys most famous experiments use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth Our minds dont work the way we think they do We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are but were actually missing a whole lot Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention perception memory and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions often get us into trouble In the process they explain  Why a company would spend billions to launch a product that its own analysts know will fail How a police officer could run right past a brutal assault without seeing it Why awardwinning movies are full of editing mistakes What criminals have in common with chess masters Why measles and other childhood diseases are making a comeback Why money managers could learn a lot from weather forecasters Again and again we think we experience and understand the world as it is but our thoughts are beset by everyday illusions We write traffic laws and build criminal cases on the assumption that people will notice when something unusual happens right in front of them Were sure we know where we were on 911 falsely believing that vivid memories are seared into our minds with perfect fidelity And as a society we spend billions on devices to train our brains because were continually tempted by the lure of quick fixes and effortless selfimprovement  The Invisible Gorilla reveals the myriad ways that our intuitions can deceive us but its much more than a catalog of human failings Chabris and Simons explain why we succumb to these everyday illusions and what we can do to inoculate ourselves against their effects Ultimately the book provides a kind of xray vision into our own minds making it possible to pierce the veil of illusions that clouds our thoughts and to think clearly for perhaps the first time From the Hardcover edition.

Dear Gorilla Runner,. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP8E6ouSiC0. . In this advert Cadburys have a gorilla playing the drums which is very unusual and odd. The first shot is just the gorilla playing the drums so we have no idea what this advert could be about at first. It goes to an open pan view of the drum studio with good lighting and the purple background which is Cadburys colour, then a close up of the drum solo at the end When first seeing this advert you wouldn’t know it was Cadburys straight away as they don’t advertise the chocolate in the advert until the very end. By doing this Cadburys have made the nation laugh at this advert as it is very funny and memorable so everyone will talk about it which promotes the chocolate. At the end of the advert the Cadburys chocolate bar appears, this makes you see the chocolate and it makes you want it as you are already in a good mood because the advert was so funny and no one has ever seen an advert like this before. The target audience to this advert would be to everyone as everyone loves chocolate. It would probably be aired on TV at a later time of day when people are settled down watching television and then when seeing this advert they are in the mood for chocolate. . © One Stop Teacher Shop.
