We store our knowledge or acquire it in a strictly ordered manner. Sometimes the mistakes we make can tell us how we structure this knowledge. Remember how one of your parents called you by the name of your brother or sister? Likewise, if your girlfriend or your boyfriend calls you the name of their previous boyfriend or girlfriend, it will offend you, as it indicates that they are thinking about him at the moment, or that information about you and the old love is kept in their memory in one place.
The slip of the tongue says a lot about how people store information in their memory. Example: A university administrator constantly confused the names of two deans belonging to a national minority. These reservations clearly showed that he was inclined to see in them only "representatives of national minorities", and not individuals with their own individual characteristics.
Now answer the question. After you write the answer to the question, rate how confident you are that it is correct. Use a seven-point scale for this: 1 - not at all sure, 7 - completely sure, and 4 - 50% sure.
1. How many animals of each kind did Moses take into his ark?
Confidence (1-7)
If you gave the answer that most people give, you most likely had no doubts about their correctness ... and you were wrong. Did you answer “2” to the question? If your answer was that, you made a mistake, because Moses did not build the ark; you were thinking about Noah at that moment.
Examples like this show how our memory works. When you read about the animals and the ark, you immediately began to remember the biblical story with the ark, completely losing sight of the fact that the name of Moses appears in the question. Think about what this example tells us about human memory - how it is organized and used, and how we can be completely sure of something and still be wrong.
