Brain game season 3 Follow the leader.
This episode shows how the brain can be fooled in many ways. The first example that was given was the six colored dots that were moving in a circle, if you focus in one color the dot seems that it is moving up and down in a straight line when in reality the dot is going in a circular motion. This illusion shows how the brain cannot take so much information at once; thus your brain makes you think that all of the color dots are going in the same circular motion. Another example that was given in this episode was a pair of eyes staring on the edge of the screen, the narrator of this show asked us to look at the opposite edge of the screen, while a pair of eyes was staring at the opposite side of the edge. It appears that your brain will not register the instructions that were given by the narrator, our mind tricked us and followed the same direction the pair of eyes were staring at. This is known as the deictic gaze.
The deictic gaze is used by human and animals, it is a natural instinct that helps you draw attention to particular objects without speaking, and this can be helpful for hunters to point out prey to others without calling attention to themselves. This may also …show more content…

Goes to show how much a little gaze can distract our minds. The reason why we easily get so distracted is because all of the information is taken by the retina that gets passed along to different parts the brain that control attention eventually the information winds up in your amygdala which determines if what we are seeing is a threat or

“The science of attention teaches us that we tend to pay attention to what we have been taught to value and that we tend to be astonishingly blind to change until something disrupts our pattern and makes us see what has been invisible before.” Page 243 Common sense to dictate that people will acknowledge problems before it occurs. You would think that people will be able to understand the outcome before it happens but that is not true. In part four of Cathy Davidson’s, “Now You See it”, she emphasize the importance of working with other people to help us to see what we are missing. In discussion of attention blindness, it is very difficult for a person alone to develop ingenious idea of solution to a problem because that person may only see the scope of a bigger picture.

1a.   Explain why, according to Lavoie, sarcasm is not an effective tool for teachers.   Sarcasm is not an effective tool because it creates a victim. What may seem like a small sarcastic remark to the teacher and other classmates is a much bigger deal to the child it was directed at. The teacher and other students will laugh and forget about the remark within a few minutes but it will stick with the learning disabled student for quite possibly the whole day.

There is hope for parents of teenagers that feel like their child is a lost cause. In a 2015 issue of Scientific American titled The Amazing Teen Brain, author Jay N. Giedd explains why the teenage brain is not “biology gone wrong”. With the help of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the brain of people of different ages can be studied to provide more accurate information. One of those findings is that the adolescent brain does not mature by getting larger, that it matures by having its structures more interconnected and by becoming more specialized. MRI scans show that greater volumes of white matter indicate the increase in connectivity among brain regions.

I am deeply interested in the Software/Firmware Engineer Student position for Summer 2016, which I found on the Lexmark Careers website. I have long held your company in high regard. I remember being amazed, many years ago, when I purchased an inexpensive Lexmark scanner that could reliably convert printed text into editable documents. As revolutionary as that seemed at the time, I know your company has continued to develop innovative products that go far beyond that simple task, and likely far beyond what I can even imagine. I am eager for the chance to intern with your company as they grow and adapt to meet new challenges.

Attention has always been a prized commodity. The brain knows it and cognitive psychologists know it, but the average person has yet to fully grasp the concept. Articles on how to multi-task still flag the covers of popular magazines, and distracting cell phones and tablets accompany students to class on the forefront of their desks next their notes. It has been verified time and time again that the mind simply cannot attend to two things simultaneously; one can pay attention to one thing or another, but not to two things at once. People know that neutralizing distractions will yield invaluable minutes of clarity and focus, but for most, the application of such, is nearly impossible.

Perception is the process of receiving information about and making sense of the world around us (McShane et al., 2010: 88). Perception crafts our understanding of the world around us and allows us to act within our environment. Perception isn’t a notion a manager or team leader can directly access or fix in others.
