Cognitive Canvass

  Hi Everyone! Hope you are doing well in life 😀 To put it simply for you, I would like to discuss a unique and hazardous idea with you today that has the potential to have a significant impact.  Imagine your younger sister, when asked to describe her feelings when she gets lost in a mall, telling her friend about an experience she had as a child. Your sister is narrating the story in great detail, and you find yourself impressed even if what she is saying is flat out false! Why has this happened when the tale was far simpler and less risky than what your sister was telling her friend? Is it possible that your sister is lying? The answer is NO, your sister is simply experiencing the FALSE MEMORY EFFECT!! Let me explain.

Picture the crack of dawn on the first day of a new year. What comes to mind? Grand aspirations, dreams of ideal weights, and visions of soaring incomes. We're all familiar with the ritual of setting ambitious goals and crafting action plans to turn our dreams into reality. But why does our enthusiasm often wane as days slip by, leaving our plans untouched? Enter the fascinating "Fresh Start Effect." Even seemingly ordinary events, like a birthday or the start of a week, possess a mystical power to stir something within us. Delving into the Fresh Start Effect, researchers have conducted studies that go beyond mere speculation. From scrutinizing Google searches for the term "diet" to monitoring gym attendance on a university campus and exploring commitment contracts on the Stickk website, the evidence is concrete. This isn't just a hypothesis; it's a tried-and-true phenomenon. This exploration unravels two psychological triggers that fuel the Fresh Start ...
