I thought the studies on selective attention and selective inattention were very interesting. How we can completely ignore something while we are set on a task I think is very true. When I am trying to do my homework, I almost always try to shutout every other thing in a room. If my mom walked in I probably wouldn't notice.
I also thought the whole segment on sleep was interesting. I know I need to have a more consistent sleep schedule because I am always falling asleep in my classes. I would like to find out more on why we dream about what we dream about. There reasons stated in the book were suffering a trauma, something you were doing right before bed, or some stress.
I was very surprised to find that I unconsciously associated Native Americans with foreign, this was surprising. I know I don’t have a prejudice towards them though. I just thought that this test was more kind of telling us how we were raised. Like I said in the previous blog, I wouldn’t be surprised if the generations after us unconsciously had a prejudice against Arabian races.
