Cognitive Load Theory [1] breaks down our mental processes as storing schemata (information) in long-term memory. As of now, this is thought to be unlimited as its been difficult to disprove. Short-term memory, or working memory, involves r

No. It won't. We'll just get used to it. Face identification was solved decades ago. Since then, it has just been a rat race between "what about this occlusion or this one?" Train a Neural Net to do Paint to Skin replace

Unless we want to go into an all night drinking philosophical discussion - I'd say its a combination of nature and nurture (though how "unconscious" is nature would be the drinking topic). There's a great article the arg

As an aside, do you know of any research where eye movement is not possible? I'm thinking of sparring in grappling, where you can't see parts of your opponent's body because you literally can't move your head that way.

I've been practicing martial art for just over a decade now, no means world class, but one idiom I teach is "slow is smooth, smooth is fast", and generally tell students to slow down. We (people) get worked up and excited and

As a former mindfulness case study, I'm sad to hear it was not helpful to this study. While the report does cover a number of experiments, the limitation to their research is the use of self-reports. While you can attempt to frame ques

Exactly, and since my "Suck It" comment was not well received, you could say its akin to a child arguing they "are an adult" (ala explicitly saying "Don't Be Evil") vs. an adult just behaving like one (&qu

By all means, I am still very much a child at heart... but I also know I shouldn't go around telling everyone to "Suck It", like my WWF-watching childhood.

To play devil's advocate for a second - I don't mind this (that much). The phrase "Don't Be Evil" seems like a kitschy nod to Google's earlier days when they were just a couple of programmers in a garage. Howev

To at least satisfy all of the "fire" comments, what if you designed a Powerwall with many interchangeable batteries? Like a street light, instead of having a massive bulb that is expensive to repair/replace, hundreds of tiny

Good to hear; a few years ago I'd read an article about a former moderator about the practices needed to remove YouTube videos. One particular practice that was necessary was to watch the video IN FULL (many videos involving death) and

A major issue with using "useful/helpful-ness" as our metric for success is quantifying the term. A self-report Likert scale is susceptible to users just rating 1 or 7, or saying its useful even when it was not ( https:&#x2F
