do you agree that we oftern do not know why we do what we do? Also explain that to what extent our preconception control our interpreatations and memories
Yes, absolutely. Some of our actions are quite unconsciously done out of habitual behaviour or maybe when it is something that we really want to do. For a general example, while watching TV we keep on switching between channels without even looking at the remote for numbers which is out of habit and learning. Some of our emotional responses are too in a way done unconsciously and may be outbursted in a way of facial expressions or gestures. Our preconception guides how our mind sees and translates information.Experiments appear that a noteworthy truth almost the human mind is the degree to which preconceived ideas direct how were see, translate, and remember information. Our memory and perception are some of the very interesting factors that guides various information we process and actually defines our behaviour to a large extent. Perception shapes our thoughts and with these experiences our memories are formed.
