You if you didn't attend to it, it just doesn't make its way into your mind. podcast-host

In the thick of the cognitive revolution, uh psychology had been through this big period of time where it was thought that you couldn't actually with any precision study the what was going on inside your mind. podcast-host

You should only be able to study behavior, obviously influenced by behaviorism. podcast-host

And they asked them, many of you have seen these kinds of images in like these like IQ tests, like Raven's progressive matrices. podcast-host

But the task is you see one object and then you see another object and you're asked, is this the same object but rotated? podcast-host

And so what you have to do is in your mind, you have to try to like represent that object and rotate it and match it up, whether you think, yeah, that's actually the same object. podcast-host
