Particular patterns of data result in particular outcomes
8 sensory systems [includes interception which tells us if are are hungry "internal perception"]
Interception linked to how we feel emotions
Emotions made up of experiences, behaviors, psychological responses vs. feelings - conscious experience of emotions, comprehend sensations reside outside emotions
Somatic - body
Body-based marker ---- 'somatic-marker hypothesis' [mark options for decision with emotions]
Soma = based in body
Without emotions, trouble deciding
Emotions are similar to intuition but....unconscious info in brain via bodily interoceptive sensations
Repeated exposures = intuition
Not just marking a response without EMOTION, but tapping into unconscious learning = intuition
Interception is a way to find out unconscious learning
Interception is a way to find out unconscious learning
Because of interception, we feel intuition in gut, chest, tips of fingers, sinking feeling
Self-awareness is first rule
'Emotional misattribution' - strong positive emotion is not good, medium positive
Decline in emotional intelligence?
Early life experience is an indicator of emotional intelligence & awareness [and genes]
Developing emotional awareness component is best done through mindfulness [this is important for intuition]
Mood Meter App
See where you are in the meter so that you don't use your intuition
Induce immediate change of state in order to use your intuition
mastery: bad experience ---- neurons, process trigger emotional parts of brain
No useful associations so no intuition
Short gaps & short outcomes
Tight feedback loops
Brain change itself when you fail & when you make a lot of errors with one thing & then switch
Errors shock signal to brain, gets ready to change itself
Trick it into learning the @nd thing but errors in first thing
20% failure rate sweet spot
Sting is gone, progressive learning can happen
'Variable reward schedules'
Why is game learning different? [failures are rewarding, paying attention to source of errors speeds up learning]
Associative learning behind intuition, also SURPRISE!!!
'learning consolidation' immediately & when sleeping, napping after practice!!
Practicing too long is not good, 20 minutes to start
Uncertainty & fear is instinct
Learned & adaptable is intuition
Instincts is innate
Instincts are out of date
Instincts and Intuition can feel the same!
Cravings aren't intuition
Eating & scrolling [tap into brain's reward system]
Not the same positive sensations that intuition gives
Intuition Checklist:
S. M. I. L. E.
In a situation, note down a familiar environment, if it's a short feedback loop, the decision, the options, the state I am in, location of sensations, strength of sensation, choice, outcome [feeling of choice/surprised?]
Feel fewer surprises - how you get better at intuition?
Intuition more useful - when time is more limited [time-pressure!]
Non-decomposable - good for intuition & can't be broken down
Uncertainty/incomplete info/not logical with time frame
Non-binding & see how you feel then reverse it
This cafe cafe or that and work way up
