Did anyone catch Thursday’s post on the Airbus bicycle seat? Of course, pretty much everyone panned the
idea and Airbus quickly released a statement that it was just an idea, just a
patent, and they had no plans to actually implement them in any airplanes any
time soon. But I think my idea is a good
way to salvage it. Sitting on a bicycle
seat would really suck in a transatlantic flight. But if you are actually in a transatlantic
spinning class . . . .
On Wednesday, we talked about the fundamental differences
between designing a training program to teach a skill versus a training program
to teach knowledge. The way these types
of information are structured in memory is completely different and even in
different parts of the brain. So getting it in there has to be different as
well.
My metacognition story got more response than any post in
EID history. As I write this, there are 20 comments on one Linked In group and
10 on another. And they just keep
coming. Too bad no one comments on the EID
site !!! That would make it so much
easier to keep track. Oh well, that is
what happens with reposting social media strategies.
But Monday was my favorite because it is a topic that I care
so much about. It covered motivation and
priming, self-delusion and ethics, and cites one of my top 100 thought leaders –
Francesca Gino at Harvard B-School.
Turns out that when you prime people with thoughts of money, they get
selfish. But when you prime them with
thoughts of time, they get less selfish.
Apparently, time makes us appreciate the really important things in
life, like spending time with friends.
