1. "Intensive phobia"
Intensive phobia, mathematics to back pot?
Imagine a small hole that is crowded together. Does it feel that the scalp is numb, and the goosebumps are all up...
This instinct, irrational fear and anxiety about dense repetitive patterns is what we often call "trypophobia." Today, scientists have not fully understood the causes and consequences of the fear, and have proposed a variety of theories. For example, our fears are related to aggregated objects, reflecting our instinctual fear of diseases, parasites, and toxic organisms.
Recently, the psychologist Arnold J Wilkins of the University of Essex has proposed a new explanation: dense pore arrangement, which requires the brain to consume more oxygen to process, so people instinctively produce no Comfort and disgust.
This can explain why most of us are resentful and disgusting (but only to a different extent). Even if the object is a harmless object, it will make people feel uncomfortable.
Our brains cannot handle complex and dense mathematical construction patterns efficiently, so it takes more oxygen and time to operate. Excessive oxygen consumption can make us uncomfortable, and instinct drives us to avoid staring patterns to reduce energy consumption. The Wilkins team said that further experiments will be used to explain why the level of shock response is different.
2. "Nursing the baby"
“I am doing research” encourages children to learn more than “I am a scientist”.
I still remember when I was a child, the teacher asked everyone to dream that half of the children in the class would say, "I want to be a scientist." Then, I can still be praised by the teacher...
However, this month's New York University paper published in Developmental Science said that the emphasis on “identity” of “scientists” does not encourage children to study science courses and hands-on experiments, especially those in the research community. Children who are considered to be “vulnerable groups” (eg, women, ethnic minorities, etc.).
Relatively speaking, the use of “action research”, which is “action-oriented”, can increase children's inclusiveness of “who can be successful in the academic field” and make more children interested in science and perseverance in learning. . Previous surveys have shown that when researchers tell girls to “do research” rather than “become a scientist,” they will show more perseverance and perseverance in challenging scientific activities.
A recent NYU study will further expand the research community to children in families with lower ethnic and economic levels. During the study period, children who continue to ask “How recently your research activities are carried out” will show greater confidence and will be more active in trying to solve problems. Children who are often surrounded by "scientists" speech will lose more confidence and interest in challenging difficulties.
04. "Reminiscence"
The current evaluation will tamper with our memories of the past.
"Mom has always been bad for me....My childhood was very miserable."
The latest paper published in Clinical Psychological Science says: When you think about it often, it may be because you have been affected by your current evaluation of your mother and automatically tamper with your memories.
The Patihis team gives some positive qualities (eg, warmth, care, etc.) and lets some trial participants write examples of their mothers embodying these qualities. Other participants gave examples of their mothers not showing these qualities.
Subsequently, these participants were asked to write their current assessment of the mother. In the next two months, the researchers will use the meter to assess the extent of parental care in the childhood memories of the participants and continue to record their current evaluation of the mother.
The end result shows that the prompts given by the researcher team will affect the participants' emotions and evaluations of the parents, and as the evaluation changes, the memories of the participants in the scale are also changing.
When today's evaluation of parents tends to be negative, we tend to focus on the bad memories of the past and deepen the harm caused by these memories. The positive components of past memories will also continue to decrease, and this memory distortion may bring more stress and adverse effects.
Therefore, it is very necessary to check if you have fallen into some cognitive misunderstandings.
3. "Big Bang"
Why do people seem to prefer the "strange" Sheldon?
On May 17th, the 12-year-old American TV series "Life Big Bang" was closed, and the apartment elevator was finally repaired.
The 297 episodes ended, and we became more and more curious: Why are there so many people who fall in love with IQ Superman and Emotional Business's "Weirdo" Sheldon?
Even when he starts to show love, start caring for others, and start to be like an "ordinary person", will some fans feel lost?
This may be because:
- We like Sheldon because of his specialty: his IQ is superhuman, his poison tongue has many strange habits. And we like to bring a fresh, special and exciting character. Moreover, across the screen, the audience does not need to "tolerate" a true Sheldon's picky. When Sheldon stopped obsessive-compulsive and poisonous tongues and even began to bless, the hunchback was more serious. He began to become more and more like the general public, which reduced the freshness of the nerd character we saw at the beginning.
- We like Sheldon because he did what we didn't dare to do: we appreciate some roles that are not so socially compliant, perhaps because they did what we wanted to do but didn't dare to say our voice. But when Sheldon began to understand the communicative norms, our expectations for Sheldon began to break, which may also bring a feeling of disappointment and loss.
But I have to say, from Sheldon's classic speech at Howard's wedding: "Maybe I am too interesting and don't need to be with others. So, I wish you all the happiness you have in the other person, as much as I give myself." Receive the Nobel Prize with your lover, return to the apartment and have dinner for everyone... In the 12 seasons, Sheldon has changed too much.
