Every day, we meet people and process our interactions--making inferences and developing beliefs about the world around us. In this lesson, Trevor Maber introduces us to the idea of a ladder of inference and a process for rethinking the way we interact.
Lesson by Trevor Maber, animation by TED-Ed.
Paying attention to these rungs is used in psychotherapy for helping people with phobias or eating disorders. It's really crucial to understand that your assumptions don't have to be right and can cause our bad feelings. It's good to know that we can change how we feel about something by paying attention to our thoughts. You can overcome bad thoughts if you understand and work on yourself, I love that:)
MultiSuperPotato How exactly do you change bad thoughts? I imagine it must involve a change in environment?
It takes a man two minutes to explain what a brain can do in one second. Mind blown.
probably 1 millisecond
Words. It's words and language that take time and our methods of communication. If only thoughts could be communicated.....
🤯
More like 5 minutes to describe the entire evolution of the human brain and the source of all suffering in the world.
So what? Communication needs we seek to forfill using our languages, are long beyond capabilities and boundaries of languages we use. Seriously, you think apes or primordial tribes are used to talking about science and incredibly complex ideas, to formulate efficient ways of talking about it?
Primordial languages, and by extend our languages, forfill very basic needs, without which it's impossible for them to survive, and thus continue.
It's amazing that in the 11 years since this was made how far our model of the mind has come. Most of this has now been proven false/out of order/wrong. Since 2013... progress is happening at rates beyond our comprehension ❤
It's also amazing how helpful this video still is, proving, at the same time, how close we were to being on track.
The light of humanity keeps getting brighter and brighter!
I hope TED Ed makes an updated video incorporating new science, like how the brain uses predictions.
Holy crap! This is actually something I have been starting to use! It is great for dealing with anger and empathy and realizing that you are better than your crappy action that you may/may not have taken. Thanks for explaining this!
Finally, the logic of human ethics. Reasoning does have the power over consciousness (& with enough willpower & training, over the subconcious), at least, for people who recognize that they can "will" anything they can be held accountable for, including thoughts. Beautifully done.
Ted-ed is best! I'm grateful for all people who created this video, investigated, did a research, uploaded it, You are all amazing!
So awesome!!! I have lived by the recommendation he offers at the end all my life, and I can say that sometimes it sucks ass, because not believing in your immediate thoughts and assumptions and rethinking everything can sometimes leave you action impaired
I just recently read a commencement speech (as an exercise in my college English class) that talks about all of this! Very interesting, and I completely agree that we should try to cut off our judgments and take a look at where they're coming from before we jump to conclusions.
I think this video was beautifully done!! Well done!!!
This is Water - David Foster Wallace
This reminded me of Inside Out
+Willian De Faria Me too!
+Willian De Faria Me too!
+Willian De Faria you, sir , go to the top comments
everyday we meet people with different emotions, we need to understand, reason along focus on oneself and the other
Absolutely amazing! I always looked at the patterns in which I came to conclusions but never really put enough thought into it! It only takes a second to think complex thoughts. How come we never put enough thought into what we should?
Is it possible to have counter-assumptions as an extra rung in the ladder? Is this what second guessing is? Thank you for posting this.
so true, i have experienced people jumping to conclusions a lot in my own life over the past couple of years and to a degree we all do it a little bit! but it's our choice to think positively or negatively or to give people the benefit of the doubt if we can.
what a great talk, i can help us to understand the concept of changing behavier, especialy habits when whe focus on thing
This video is life-changing.
wonderful explanation of the concept with a relatable illustration
I agree, but the deterministic state of cause and effect is dependent on outside influences determining your will. This outside influence does so in a positive manner. Thumbs up for encouraging people to check their own thought processes before acting.
Very important and useful ! Thank u Argyris !
this is why i hate why people state you shouldn't "assume".
you have to as part as your thought process! if no one ever assumed, no facts of knowledge would ever exist.
one must assume before coming to conclusion .
this one of the 25% top comments in youtube. assumption is key to many, many aspects of knowledge, INCLUDING science! we have to take an initial point, assuming something in order to build from it. this is why everyone has a different world view. some people take science as a sanctimonious discipline that, like a monolith is dead set against assumption and speculation. well, that monolith is built on dirt, my guy!
True, but assuming just based off of someone's outward experience is not healthy. Although you might involuntarily take that into account, you should catch yourself after the fact and, as the narrator said, go through the ladder.
ReySyndicate yes, but you should never lock yourself into your assumptions. A mistake many people make, leading them to ignore information that suggests that they should challenge their perspective on something or take a second look and analyse something more carefully before making an assumption that may be wrong.
@@loud6037 Exactly. It is not an assumption but rather an inference which, after thorough examination, can either be supported or cannot be supported. This does not mean the inference was purely right or wrong, but that based on the current available information it is either validated or invalid.
Everyday I wait to watch the TEDEd videos!
This could be the most philosophical ted talk
It's cool to see this process. And it's cool to see how the average person would respond to such an event (which is different from how I'd respond).
Incredible! Keep it up! These animations are amazing and these ideas are truly worth spreading
from my personal understanding, the ladder is deconstructed into 3 smaller parts as a metaphor for our thinking process. I call the 1st rung (raw data) as information collecting where u purely observe everything happening (without judgement, emotion). the 2nd part of the ladder ( 2nd,3rd,4th rung) is when u draw meaning and interpret the data based on ur personal belief, social convention, culture... .
And the third part?
1.) What beliefs are at play? 4:54
2.) Where do they come from? 4:57
3.) What data and observations did you filter in, as a result of your beliefs, and why? 4:58
4.) Are your assumptions valid and supported by facts? 5:04
5.) Would a different set of assumptions create different feelings, and result in new and better conclusions and actions? 5:08
this really insightful. As a rational epistemologist this is part of what I deal with. You needs insights like this, and many others, in order to actually think more rationally. Things like knowledge of biases, fallacies, etc. And 'justified' beliefs..the word justified has a proprietary meaning in the context of epistemology.
Great lesson.
This video was just mind blowing
and i guess the whole point of this is video is to encourage ppl to observe ur 2nd phase of thinking again, question ourselves if we're open-minded or just being really subjective, hence coming up with a more rational decision. ( This is from my humble understanding, hope it helps)
This is STELLAR🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Thank you❤
very nice
your videos are always fantastic
be interested to know old one needs to be to absorb this simple concept . Parents and schools could teach empathy or at least the processes for it. Well done
Interesting, hmm. It really adds on to the saying "think twice before you act".
beautifully made!
Data, filter, meaning,assumption, calculation, adjustion,actions
Great one.
Really great video and example, thanks for explaining it all.
awesome TED, please keep it up!
While I wish I could better control the assumptions I make instantaneously to avoid unneeded conflict ( which thats all it is), Not getting angry at someone for that is hard. While their are people like the man who had his wife in the hospital, their are others who drive as fast as they can to get the spot and look you dead in the eye saying "what are you gonna do about it" I love the idea of the ladder of cognitive processing and if we limit our biases we get better conclusions,but not always
At any moment, we have the choice to chose our reactions. When I encounter people (like those you describe who drive fast to take the spot) I chose to give thanks to the Universe for giving me an opportunity to practice non-reactivity and jump off the ladder. This is a much healthier choice than anger. "What am I going to do about it?" I'm going to use it as an opportunity for personal growth and for celebrating how far I've come, thanks for giving me yet another opportunity!
Loved! however...would it have been different if the other person did it on purpose?
I've heard the example laid out in this video many times, but it's pretty trite in reality people are more likely not trying to steal your parking spot but rather are so unaware of their surroundings that they accidently do it, which is no excuse. A better reason not to get upset is simply because it's just a friggin parking spot. To let that ruin your day is stupid on its own.
Love this, TED always motivates me :)
So, the important is not the data, the information, but your interpretation of this. You have the possibility to travel to an other world just by changing your thinking. Enjoy the trip !
Take charge to take better actions!✊🏿
My "seventh rung" would've been to key their car.
This needs to be taught to every driver
( to continue with my previous post), in this 2nd part, the story/fact u observe may be twisted as u may end up filtering out some important information based on ur own belief or assumption. in the 3rd part of the ladder, u then adjust a course of decision and action to reply the story u observed, based on ur own subjective judgement happening in the 2nd stage of the ladder. and this is how ppl come up with wrong decision as they are narrowed down by their invalid assumption, belief and culture
Mind blown. But how to use this technique?
this is AWSOM
great video
oh wow~ nicely done!!
Thanks for the lesson of the day :)
Beautiful
when i procrastinate i do it with Ted ;)
What Charlie means to say is that yes, we can choose to do what we do, however,this is based entirely off of your past experiences and thoughts. What you said about the killer having free will is right - he did choose to kill, but this has reason. Say the killer stabbed the victim. It may have been a spontaneous decision, but there had to have been some kind of process in his brain to make him fling his arm forwards. If that didn't happen, it literally would have defied physics as we know it.
Much loved link
J'ADORE!
Awesome! Great lesson.
+1 subscriber.
This is very interesting. What if we use Hegel's dialectic: Assumption--->Counter-Assumption--->Conclusion Is this what sometimes happens? Is this what it means to second guess?
wow crystal clear
1:55 , explain to me how his parents taught him not to cut in line BUT didn't teach him to wear a seat belt when driving a car😂😂😂
+Golden TNT back when they grew up, nobody was wearing one..the seventies man...
Toxq Jam lol
How can emotions come first? Do you not need to realize what has happened in front of you before you feel happy or sad? When your cat gets hit by a truck do you feel sad and angry before your eyes tell your brain that your cat was hit by a truck? That's like saying that you are blind and deaf but can perceive the circumstances in your surrounding.
People react differently to the same situation because they digest the information differently based on their experience before feeling sad or happy.
Thinking is attempt to use obsolete languages in to process facts, and create reaction according to combination of conscious and unconscious goals of thinker.
Absolutely!" Have a nice day///
In a sense my mind and body are all me, but there is a me'(prime) that experiences things. Now when I look at words sometimes, elements of me that are not me' do edits on what is out there and presents me with a different word than what is really there. Now me' gets a feeling from other subconscious processes that the word does not make sense in the context of the surronding text. I then move in closer or enlarge the text and the right word is made known to me'. Where does that fit into your theory? And why did you choose a negative event with a belligerent person as the observer?
I don't feel my blood pressure. I don't drive. And behavior that inconveniences me does not cause me to think about the person's upbringing.
in the example given,does person 1 interpet or infer the second person action
4:12 - what if the guy lied?
Lol I'm just the type of person who likes to throw in thoughts.... don't mind me.
How do you work that one out?
Great vid
This reminds me so much of "Nonviolent Communication".
I can advice anyone to read the book by the same name written by Marshall Rosenberg.
"Nonviolent Communication" is pretty cool and tries to make you cut the ladder :)
act on logic not emotion, logic is fact, emotion is perspective.
This idea is a interesting way of thinking about the mental process, but is exactly how Buddha explained it a very long time ago.
This is old Buddhist knowledge as well. I like the way it was westernized, though. It will help in reaching a bigger audience.
Wow, he came up with a less effective model than the OODA Loop two decades later. Way to be with the times.
that was really good
Understanding is a cognitive process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to use concepts to model that object. Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge that are sufficient to support intelligent behavior.[1]
Understanding is often, though not always, related to learning concepts, and sometimes also the theory or theories associated with those concepts. However, a person may have a good ability to predict the behavior of an object, animal or system-and therefore may, in some sense, understand it-without necessarily being familiar with the concepts or theories associated with that object, animal, or system in their culture. They may have developed their own distinct concepts and theories, which may be equivalent, better or worse than the recognized standard concepts and theories of their culture. Thus, understanding is correlated with the ability to make inferences.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No, no, no.. he probably does not realize the sensations caused to you by his action. You should be a good person, and relay the feelings. Onto that person's face. ^_^ You're being helpful!
What Example Does The Narrator Give?
@penumbrook what is emotions? You have cried, laughed, have been angered, do you not know by now that all these feelings can be controlled by you? When you're a child the surrounding may be responsible for you emotions but after you get responsibilities and age a little you are completely in control of how you feel and how u can change your "mood" depending on situations
so we can agree that there is free will, to the extent that the killer chose to kill over any other possible action and is responsible for that choice. But you are still missing the part where you prove it is due to an algorithm/ rule.
excellent
The science of the common sense. To bad is not so common.
que buen video...
what a video...
Alternative response to 3:55
1. Raw data: the guy comes up to you and tries to explain
2. Filtering: who cares that he's apologizing? Ignore the look on his face!
3. Assign Meaning: Stranger danger! Clearly, what this man is saying is not to be trusted
4. Assumptions: Wait, what is the look on his face? It was definitely smug satisfaction
5. Conclusion: Previous conclusion is affirmed, which proves said assumptions.
6. Adjust Beliefs: Clearly, this man is worse then you previously thought.
7. Take Action: Drive away at maximum acceleration, get a ticket for speeding.
Clearly, this is the better route.
I didn't get anything in this video, could someone make a brief summary with the most important points??
"You can control your reactions to things".
Agree. But, if we added this thought to the video, then my guess is that it would be a completely different type of video and we wouldn't have gained the knowledge we got from this one lol.
Being physically unobstructed to do something does not equal to having freewill. Freewill is about somehow 'freely' choosing your wants, desires, convictions, etc. Which doesn't seem possible. When did you choose to choose to want this? And why did you want this and not that? All those things are decided by your subconscious, based on the experiences that you've had so far.
this happens all the time; especially on a right turn when it's green and the person in front of you won't go... Little did we know theres a pedestrian crossing the street and you feel like an ass for honking...
Do you a version with portuguese legend?
Most physicists agree that free will is "The ability to make decisions without interference of physical laws."
Is this how EQ works?
nice fabulous awesome mindblowing
Make the text for easier to read, will be better for this video.
that's something i also thought,, i think it would add another info to the penultimate step, that people can be deceitful...
I'm a little bit allergic to idea of a little man inside my scull, but the lesson is great : )
not to often labor is gonna be a legit reason for someone taking a parking stall,but good example!
When he said filtering based on preferences and tendencies I immediately looked at my jungian cognitive stack.
Ok smarty pants
this reminds me of the time i was looking for a parking for like half and hour at the mall, and was very late to work, then when i finally found one, someone else was signaling for it but he couldnt turn because some car was blocking him, so i "stole" the spot, then they started honking and yelling something at me . But i just ran to work lol . (Didnt even want to talk to them cuz i dont like to confront and already late )
Actually I tend to think when someone gives me an elaborate story I think they're lying to me and don't have the fortitude to own up to being a jerk.
But it's okay because I'm a jerk also, so why should I be the only one.
awesome chanell 👏👏👏
Try driving in south-east Asia. Those negative assumptions would might just do you justice as everyone else does not even have the slightest notion of queuing, let alone give way for others.
