“Raichle suspects that during these moments of errant thought, the brain is forming a set of mental rules about our world, particularly
our social world, that help us navigate human interactions and quickly make sense of and react to information”

Let yourself zone out when you think
Observe and then relax
Ultimately, you’ll develop some hypotheses

Purposeful wandering isn’t bad either

Embrace conflict
Create an inciting incident

We post rationalize why we do things.
Gut reaction and heuristics - engines of the sub-conscious - drive a lot of what we do.
What we do has a lot to do with what other people are doing
26Wednesday, February 20, 2013
So how do we overcome this?

Observing can...
• Tell you about how your brand could better integrate into that group
• Tell you that your product isn’t good enough and that you need to make some changes

What do you when observation is not enough?

Sensory memory exercises • Method actors learn to use sense memory to recall emotional experiences from their past. Instead of trying to remember or force an emotion, the actor tries to re-create with his senses the circumstances surrounding the experience.
Live their life, read what they read, dress the way they do, take their challenges

“Kahneman says that people are remarkably adept at coming up with answers to all kinds of questions without knowing how or why (surveys researchers beware!). His explanation for a lot
of this is the idea of substitution. That is, people answer an easier but wrong question rather than the difficult one they
were asked.”

T H E P R O B L E M : B I A S E S
Ambiguity effect – the tendency to avoid options for
which missing information makes the probability seem
"unknown."
Anchoring – the tendency to rely too heavily, or "anchor," on a past
reference or on one trait or piece of information when making decisions
(also called "insufficient adjustment")
Attentional bias – the tendency of emotionally dominant stimuli in one's environment to preferentially draw and hold attention and to neglect relevant data when making judgments of a correlation or association.
Availability heuristic – the tendency to overestimate the likelihood of events with greater "availability" in memory,
which can be influenced by how recent the memories are, or how unusual or
emotionally charged they may be
Clustering illusion – the tendency to under-expect runs, streaks or
clusters in small samples of random data
Confirmation bias – the tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions.
Conjunction fallacy – the tendency to assume that specific conditions
are more probable than general ones
Conservatism or regressive bias – tendency to underestimate high
values and high likelihoods/probabilities/frequencies and
overestimate low ones. Based on the observed evidence, estimates
are not extreme enough
Contrast effect – the enhancement or diminishing of a weight or other
measurement when compared with a recently observed contrasting object
Information bias– the tendency to seek information even when it cannot affect action.[39]
Irrational escalation – the phenomenon where people justify increased investment in a decision, based on the cumulative prior
investment
Loss aversion – "the disutility of giving up an
object is greater than the utility associated with
acquiring it"
Pseudocertainty effect – the tendency to make risk-averse choices if the expected outcome is positive, but
make risk-seeking choices to avoid negative outcomes
Well travelled road effect – underestimation of the duration
taken to traverse oft-traveled routes and overestimation of the duration
taken to traverse less familiar routes.
Unit bias – the tendency to want to finish a given unit of a task or an item. Strong effects on the consumption of food in
particular
