Default Fast vs Slow thinking

Here is an interesting explanation of how the brain works.

Many of us need to discipline our minds to not use fast thinking as it is prone to failure. I don't know if we miss some of the data needed for the fast thinking but when we slow think we pull all of the data together more successfully.

Don't let this get you frustrated or overloaded.

Interesting!

I didn't do the numbers exercise... Couldn't keep up. So I disengaged enough to notice the sticky notes changed on the far right.

Brain still in extreme slo-mo and pain since neuro psych day. But very cool video to learn about the brain's shortcuts! I totally used fast thinking to price the bat!

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
