it's an academic and applied this is set the moles to scientific study of mental functions and behaviors to put it more simply to talk about your mind psychology  how many friends can you have four more specifically is there a limit to the number of people that can mint Ain a stable social relationship with these are relationships where you know who the person is and you know how each person relates to every other purse in the group and no not Facebook friends turns out that there is a limit would be pretty awkward if I brought this all the voice orenda limitus 150 people  ever wondered why why do you want why do you do things why do feel the way you do about certain things why do you keep on the living turns out that ecology moreless has to answer to all of these questions after the world of dopamine dopamine was discovered in Sweden in 1958 created in various parts of our brains it's critical in all sorts of brain function so just thinking moving sleeping moved attention motivation seeking and reward basically in its simplest form dopamine a salt system it is what keeps the world turn and survive research on the racks for example show that if you destroy dopamine neurons rats can still walk shoe and swallow. starve to death even when food is right next to them they have basically lost all the sire to eat  take this Temple U of Public Square thing around and suddenly see a friend in the crowd recognizes for a moment he's looking right at him you do not recognize him only when your friend stops and says hello and somehow you still missed it this is because you can only think of one thing at a time you cannot mentally focus on more than one no matter how good you might think you are at multitasking people are capable of switching between several tasks where they quickly though which can create the illusion of multi we can also learn to do something physical while focusing on an all their mental tasks such as walking and talking on the phone at the same time however study was done what is Mary circumstances which made it clear that people who talk on the phone while walking bump into other people much more and doesn't win in notice and remember things happening around them this phenomenon is called inattentional blindness if I asked you to draw an object obvious at all what perspective would you draw that object in from above from the side From Below turn south of most people would throwing it like this at a somewhat tilted angle as if you were slightly above the object looking down it's called the canonical perspective the interest saying you said it seems to apply to almost everything even obvious you would have normally see in this talk down type of perspective such as a truck or a horse when you take a photograph your also most likely to take it from this perspective no matter if you're aware of it or not we can't really explain why this is exactly it games people just like and prefer to view things this way some of you watching this my to yourself as a logical self-aware type of person I know I do so when you make a somewhat larger decision you carefully think it's true and consider everything before making your mind but research shows that although you want to think that your decision making is a conscious deliberate process it's not for example let's say you want to buy a new TV you consider the size of the TV that works best in your room the range of TV brands you're willing to play from Price versus quality weather should get a Blu-ray player and so on and so long but the things that has the biggest impact on what TV you end up buying happens unconsciously things such as what I most other people or am I the type of person who always has the newest technology who am I more to go for shock will you like getting a 120 inch TV this is why we can sometimes feel like we know what is the right thing to do as in trusting your gut cuz unconsciously you already made up your mind  have you ever been in a situation where your fridge sample listening to someone explaining something or showing you how to do something and without thinking about it you start to imitate those movements whether you have or not it's our brains learn to do from a very early age just watching other people doing stuff cause some of the same neurons in your brain to fire as if you were actually doing those same things yourself these are appropriately called mirror neurons mirror neurons Mirror Mirror Mirror mirror the same thing happens with empathy when you try to empathize with someone we are literally experience what others are feeling through these mirror neurons Mirror Mirror Mirror Mirror  if you want someone to try something new and Friends it will work best if you them happy first started some shown that when people are sad or scared they want what is familiar but when we're happy we're much more likely to something new whether or not is concerned of what is sin isn't familiar with the fact that when we're sad or scared we feel much more vulnerable who won we're happy and dust you might feel that you need to protect yourself even if that you think you're scared of is a new type of cereal I'm on my family and friends I wouldn't say I'm really known to have the best or most accurate memory all of the time but here is something I can at fuse in my own defense memories are not stored like a movie or image like it would be on a hard drive that is ready for use whenever you need it memories are actually reconstructed every single time we think of them but this construction sometimes gets similar events mixed up and sometimes even make stuff up imagine this if you spend time with the same friend at school almost everyday when you remember something from a day where he wasn't is there the reconstructed memory might think he was because he usually is to you that memory makes total sense and it will seem just as realistic so in a sense your brain reconstructs the memory you're trying to remember in the way he thinks would be most logical but not this early most accurate this is why the testimony of eyewitness says his crime scenes can many times different greatly one thing to keep in mind about well everything I've talked about in this video and a lot of the research will find about psychology overall is the most of it is being tested on the Westin yes I mean to us and Europe why this matter is because another studies show that the way we think is different depending on what sure we come from it showed for example that's when presenting different images to people around the world people from Asia focus on the surroundings and the things in the back Rome's while people from the West focused on the main or dominant foreground object and looking at the brain performing several of these tests reveal our way of thinking is very different in many ways the point is that the story of eagle that not only are our cultures different but because of her culture we all thing differently  for those of you whose watch my top 10 facts series for some time now have noticed a certain the structure of how I present my content I usually but not always begin with the fact that it's short than just Bass the facts in the middle or someone random and then I end the video with what I think would be most fascinating or the most complex and there's actually a tree why I do this and it's something called Progressive disclosure this is a fancy term that is used in the field of psychology to refer to providing information increasing Shanks of size and complexity we can only process a small amount of information at a time. We actually prefer when for example Texas then two paragraphs compared to just a wall of text
