Book Reading #46 - Why We Make Mistakes

Chapter 6-7
Summary
When looking over different aspects and details of scenarios the brain sometimes can not analyze these things correctly. Also discussed was the idea of skimming that is done by a person. This usually means we pay attention to the beginning of the piece and glean as much as possible. There is also a way of doing this where full attention is given when learning it, but as familiarity happens then skimming happens and more mistakes occur.

Discussion
These books that are being used right now go hand in hand very well and play off of each other. The cognitive abilities of most people will also cause mistakes sometimes.
