| Summary |
We use mental shortcuts every day to help us make decisions, and often we don't even realize it. This program explores five mental shortcuts, or "blind spots": Expectation, Belief, Availability, Anchors, and Imitation. Learn why optical illusions and magic tricks surprise us, and how our need to confirm our beliefs often prevent a cold. Understand how availability affects purchasing habits, how a bias can make a normal price seem like a great sale, and what causes laughter to be so contagious |
