Document Summary
Facilitated communication: a facilitator helps kids with autism by permitting the child to communicate by typing out words. Science has helped practitioners work with individuals to avoid wasting valuable time on interventions that are ineffective or harmful. Required so we aren"t fooled by confirmation bias/poor design. Prefrontal lobotomy: surgical procedure that severs fibres connecting the frontal loves of the brain from the underlying thalamus, used to treat schizophrenia, was a virtually useless procedure. System 1 thinking (intuitive thinking): malcolm gladwell (2005 book blink) first impressions are at times surprisingly accurate, quick and reflexive, output consists of gut hunches , doesn"t require much mental effort (daniel kahneman named it both types of thinking) System 2 thinking (analytical thinking): slow and reflective, takes mental effort, when trying to reason through a problem, figure out a complicated concept, allows us to override intuitive thinking and reject gut hunches.
