CHRISTOPHER CHABRIS and DANIEL SIMONS are cognitive psychologists who have each received accolades for their research on a wide range of topics. Their “Gorillas in Our Midst” study reveals the dark side of our ability to pay attention and has quickly become one of the best-known experiments in all of psychology; it inspired a stage play and was even discussed by characters on C.S.I. Chabris, who received his Ph.D. from Harvard, is a psychology professor at Union College in New York. Simons, who received his Ph.D. from Cornell, is a psychology professor at the University of Illinois.
Reading this book will make you less sure of yourself - and that's a good thing. In The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology's most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: Our minds don't work the way we think they do. We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are, but we're actually missing a whole lot.
Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions often get us into trouble. In the process, they explain:
* Why a company would spend billions to launch a product that its own analysts know will fail
* How a police officer could run right past a brutal assault without seeing it
* Why award-winning movies are full of editing mistakes
* What criminals have in common with chess masters
* Why measles and other childhood diseases are making a comeback
* Why money managers could learn a lot from weather forecasters
The Invisible Gorilla reveals the myriad ways that our intuitions can deceive us, but its much more than a catalog of human failings. Chabris and Simons explain why we succumb to these everyday illusions and what we can do to inoculate ourselves against their effects. Ultimately, the book provides a kind of x-ray vision into our own minds, making it possible to pierce the veil of illusions that clouds our thoughts and to think clearly for perhaps the first time.
现在不流行小孩子听“莫扎特的古典乐”么?能提高智商么? 我本来准备给我的小侄女买一套,但是…… 这本书里说:莫扎特效应并不存在!!!! 给出了实验证明,迫使我不得不相信这个事实。悲催! 但是某天莫扎特音乐不管用了,还会有新的潜能提高法出来,相信很多人还是愿...
評分1.看见不等于看到 2.记得清不代表记得对 3.知道不等于懂得 4.自信不等于能力 5.相关不等于因果 6.潜力不是无限的 7.在你什么都不知道的时候直觉是起作用的 8.大部分科学实验都是有限制条件的,某些结果只是记者的一厢情愿
評分 評分书的废话太多,所幸浓缩的知识点都列到了章节末,现在把一些我认为有价值的概念整理如下: 1、注意错觉。人们全神贯注于一件事时,往往会忽略(就算是近在眼前)的其他事。原因:注意力资源的有限性。避免方法:减少一心二用的情况。 2、记忆错觉。为了调取方便,人在储存记忆...
Science and common sense
评分很普通,可能我以為講gorilla要講attention,要從各種attention resources theory 講,沒有想到是illusion。作者思維太散瞭,腳踩西瓜皮滑倒哪裏算哪裏,全變成講故事瞭。
评分Fun reading for the first half. Not so fun reading for the 2nd half.

评分文筆很流暢,但問題在於講的東西之前大多知道瞭,沒什麼太多新意和養分
