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.

書的廢話太多,所幸濃縮的知識點都列到瞭章節末,現在把一些我認為有價值的概念整理如下: 1、注意錯覺。人們全神貫注於一件事時,往往會忽略(就算是近在眼前)的其他事。原因:注意力資源的有限性。避免方法:減少一心二用的情況。 2、記憶錯覺。為瞭調取方便,人在儲存記憶...
評分喜歡“The Matrix”的朋友應該還記得這一場景,Neo看到瞭先知房門上的一塊匾,先知告訴他,這是"Know Yourself"的意思。匾上的內容就是"Temet Nosce"。這本書的作用也是一樣,讓你能夠更好的瞭解自己。 不能不說的是,書名起得實在是太失敗瞭,讓人完全沒有想讀的欲望。它是如...

評分文 | 李偉誠 001 這本書的書名源自於一個非常著名的心理學實驗——看不見的大猩猩,從這個實驗引發瞭一係列對我們人類錯覺的研究。這本書提及瞭6個錯覺:注意錯覺;記憶錯覺;自信錯覺;知識錯覺;因果錯覺和潛能錯覺。下麵是簡單的解釋和應對方法。 002 注意錯覺 當我們把全部...

We are always fooled by our cognitive ability.
評分很普通,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。
評分例子很多啊,看著跟看review一樣。
