On the Seven Sins of Memory with Daniel Schacter
There are seven possible problems with memory: transience, absentmindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence, which are graphically referred to as the "seven deadly sins of memory.
1.Transience
For example, after a day, after a month, after a year, after ten years, the more effective we remember the same thing, the worse it must turn out to be.
2. Absentmindedness
For example, we put the key in a certain place one second, and the next second we can't remember where we put the key.
This is because, when we put the key, we did not give enough attention to the action of "putting the key", so when we want to extract the memory again, we can not remember how.
3.Blocking
For example, we often have a certain word or phrase on our lips, but we just can't remember it and can't say it.
4.Misattribution
You recalled a past event that happened to this friend, and you told the whole story, including many details. Finally, this friend is confused, said he did not do this thing ah. Then, it is likely that you have mistakenly added to this friend what your other friend has done.
5.Suggestibility
A person's memory can be distorted by the suggestive and induced questions of others.
6.Bias
A person's memory can be distorted by their own personal experiences and values.
7.Persistence
For example, a certain sad memory is just too deep and will always come back to us from time to time, disrupting our thoughts and lives.
Origin Of Mathematics and Mathematical Thinking with Dr Keith Devlin
Since ancient times, most people regard mathematics as a system of knowledge, a systematic sum of theoretical knowledge formed through rigorous logical reasoning, which reflects people's understanding of both the "spatial forms and quantitative relationships of the real world" and the "possible quantitative relationships and forms It reflects both people's knowledge of "spatial forms and quantitative relations of the real world" and people's knowledge of "possible quantitative relations and forms. Mathematics can come from both the direct abstraction of the real world and the labor of human thought.
Robots, Artificial Life and Technology Imagined by the Ancients with Adrienne Mayor
protected by Greco-Roman-influenced robot warriors who were devised as true automatons. Mythological automata appear in familiar myths about the Golden Fleece, Icarus, and Prometheus. Many of these machines are described as being constructed from the same materials and methods used by human craftsmen to make tools and statues; indeed, many of these complex and elaborate devices have been around since ancient times, culminating in the creation of a large number of automata in Alexandria, the original version of Silicon Valley, the ancient center of technology.
