Very Interesting

Interesting material. I know that product placement and advertising is becoming more science as well as art. I wonder how long before we'll have sensors in our headphones and earbuds to determine our unconcious preferences.

The other thing I was thinking of... I wonder how people would test with things like "To know me is to love me" or "Beuaty is on the inside"... lol

Flawed Bias test.

The bias test is flawed. The reason people get incorrect answers and show a bias, is mainly because the test changes rules. Our brains get the third test "wrong" because we are still remembering the previous one where Men and Career were paired. Once the pairing "changes" Our brains make errors because we are remembering two things.

That test is bias. Whatever the third test is, people will show a bias. If they did women-career man-family first, then the test would show a bias in the oppisite direction.

boring

I like science and psycology, but so much more could have been done with this episode. It went into for too much detail about just a few semi-intersting experiments.
