The first one and and and I think it's worth saying that there's so there's some there's some um vocab to learn here.
So we've already talked about valence and arousal and stuff and and like the language of effective neuroscience is by its nature it's sort of some of it might sound a bit technical to people coming to this fresh.
And so the first one is memory
prioritizes affective salience
over semantic accuracy.
So Mike, could you just unpack these first of all, let's just unpack these two words, salience and semantic.
What what does this mean?
So well can I come back there?
So so th 'cause th that's brilliantly put, by the way.
I really like the way that you explain this and people could probably see why I spent three hours sitting under a tree chatting with you 'cause um poor guy, sorry.
Right, so I'm I'm gonna again read from the paper just the 'cause it it sort of c will consolidate some of what we just talked about.
But I think that this gets to the heart of that misconception that you said at the start.
So so so
You're right.
After after that that opening s sentence, m memory prioritizes effective salience over semantic accuracy.
So we remember that we remember and learn things that matter to us over just like being told what like this is important because it means X, Y, or Z.
And if you don't care about that
It's gone in one ear and out the other.
And teachers listening to this, I imagine, will be nodding and going, Yes, this is my daily reality.
So th so th this this paragraph that explains this.
