- This animation introduces the key concepts of unconscious bias. It forms part of the Royal Society’s efforts to ensure that all those who serve on Royal Society selection and appointment panels are aware of differences in how candidates may present themselves, how to recognise bias in yourself and others, how to recognise inappropriate advocacy or unreasoned judgement. You can find out more about unconscious bias and download a briefing which includes current academic research at www.royalsociety.org/diversity.

Not sure people getting maths wrong is really a good illustration of unconscious bias
Totally agree. I stopped the video and I thought about it. I still got the answer wrong.
Also I much prefer to listen to a woman’s voice - I am a woman.
I do have unconscious bias, but I am not such this video helped me understand it.
agree with you, they should've chosen some simple illustration
@@brontewcat if this video didn't help you understand it, dig deeper and learn more
@@kishoredev6004 I do understand unconscious bias, but if I didn’t understand it I said I don’t think this video would have helped me understand it clearly. I do not think the examples used were very good.
A better example is the experience of people of colour walking into a shop to browse, and then being closely watched because the shop assistant unconsciously associates Black people with shoplifting.
@@kishoredev6004 Unless you experience it, I wouldn't recommend it, I don't think some people understand, it's not a very pleasant experience, to go through.
I can't believe she made this video, and did not explain what the answer to the bat and the ball is, for those who want to know, I got you, the ball actually cost $0.05 or 5 cents, reason follows if your interested (using the dollar signs btw);
The question is if the bat and the ball cost $1.10 together, and the bat is $1 more than the ball, how much is the ball?
The point about this is that unconsciously, you like me, jumped to the ball costing 10 cents. But the question said that the bat cost $1 MORE than the ball, if you don't pay attention to that bit, then you'll get it wrong. Since it's a $1 more, the ball must cost 5 cents and the bat must cost $1.05 to not only be $1 more than the ball exactly but for the two to equal $1.10
Thanks for this Charles - I was very confused by that part!
It doesn't demonstrate the unconscious bias. It demonstrates a question not asked clearly.
Ah £1 more not just £1 so £1 extra than the ball. Thats not instinct that's just trickery of words.
Go
O
She did actually say what the right answer was. Maybe you were not listening. Also she was using UK £ and not dollars. Shame you were not listening but instead trying to "show off" how clever you were but still got it wrong.
It's not wrong to have gut feelings or unconscious biases, we should listen to them they are based on prior knowledge, and could be helpful and save your life, i.e. running from a snake if you unsure if it's poisonous or not. BUT those automatic assumptions and unconscious biases MUST be checked against evidence before a decision is made. If you rely on your 'feelings', 'pre judgements (prejudices) or unconscious bias it has devastating consequences.This stifles real talent and stops people achieving their highest potential, talent isn't found in one particular ethnic group it's peppered everywhere.
Whilst Bias is an important factor in decision making, there are social, political and economic pressures which, more often than not, influence us.
Point well made
These are factors that form our biases.
Unconcsious Bias is the Holy Spirit of Psychology
Never provable but always there.... supposedly
@@Torric25 Ah! now we go into the realm of phantasy and psychopathy, you may think of a few 'great leaders'.
Because of the ball costs 0.05p then the ball would cost 1.05 and that's a pound more than the ball. Took me forever to figure that out.
Hi Paul, I like how you've worked it out but the question and the display seem quite deceptive. When you look at the question it says, Bat = 1pound + Ball = 1pound 10 pence. Therefore, the only way that the ball could be 5 pence is if the bat is 1pound and 5 pence. My question is how are we to calculate that answer rationally when the only information that we have is that the Bat less the ball is 1 pound more than the bat? Technically, why could the bat not be worth 1 pound 4 and the ball 6 pence or the bat 1 pound 1 pence and the ball 9 pence? You get the idea. We can only rationally calculate the price of the ball if we know the price of the bat which we do not know the value of at the beginning.
@@urcommunityfeedingaustrali6982 Wait, you're right. Why did they tell us it costs 0.05 then? Are they wrong or are they trying to make some kind of a point or something?
@@urcommunityfeedingaustrali6982 The bat is a pound more than the ball, so the bat can't be £1.04 and the ball 6p, because £1.04 isn't a pound more than 6p. We can rationally calculate the value of both with some basic alegbra - it's really just a simple pre-GCSE level example of simultaneous equations. We're told:
X = bat
Y = ball
X + Y = 1.10 (1)
X = 1 + Y (2)
Therefore substituting (2) into (1) gives us:
(1 + Y) + Y = 1.10
Y + Y = 0.10
Y = 0.05
Substitute that back into (2) and we find that X = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05, so the bat is £1.05 and the ball is £0.05. This is the only answer that satisfies both (1) and (2).
The bat would cost 1.05, not the ball.
@jolybean pre-GCSE level, he says. My school math was based more around fractions and weights, specifically 16ths / 8ths / 1/4s / and ounces 🤷♂️ But thanks for the detailed breakdown 👍
Credit for allowing comments.
I am surprised they allowed comments as well. It would have been hypocritical of them if they didn't allow it. It would have shown their unconscious bias. Lol
That is true. Most don't allow comments. Snake oil salesmen don't like critics. The UK just ended an investigation and found there is no benefit to unconscious bias training.
Have you read these comments?
Should have left them off.
@@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810 Why? They appear to be civil.
@@michaelknight2897 civil certainly. Intelligent responses to an interesting video? Not even close.
I suppose it's just the division of the intelligent people doing the work while a whole heaps of ignorant dimwits try and contradict them in the comments section.
For example, the makers just admitted they're both aware of their own bias and aware that biases can be unconcious, only for every fool in the comments section to say "duh, what about your own bias?"
When people can't even process information they got less than a minute before, it doesn't give much hope for humanity.
I often find myself actively contradicting my unconscious mind. And feel like I don’t mean to say or do what I choose to do but am simply acting accordingly. It feels as bad as breaking a rule or perhaps even a feeling of hypocrisy .
Although this video had some good information, ironically, it was loaded with bias
You missed the point of the video. Everything is biased.
Holy shit you are so smart, wow my head is spinning because of the intricacies involved with your thinking, it is just so astonishing, the complexity is overwhelming, its so smart, holy shit you are so smart, wow. I am so impressed with your vast intellect.
There's no such thing as "Unconscious Bias" It's a Neo Marxist, Globalist, Idea, so ordinary people see each other by Race, Sexual Orientation, Religious Beliefs, etc and line up by Tribalism that is how the Globalists Masters are Conquer and Divide us! They want us to believe Man and Woman are exactly the Same (Socially, Physically, Mentally and Biologically) or all Cultures are the same! Well Sorry There are Biases but they are as Conscious as They can be!
Hahaha lol
I think its natural. Its beyond our doing. We can become aware of our subconscious bias and do our best to redirect it.
the suggestion to monitor one another for unconscious bias seems to be a problem . Studies regarding the attribution error show that people tend to base the behavior of others on internal character traits, while excusing their personal behavior to external factors.
Example:
Someone cuts you off in traffic and you think that they are inconsiderate and selfish, but when you cut someone else off it is because you are rushing to the hospital to see you dying grandmother, or you kids graduation ceremony. The external situations rationalize the behavior you find inconsiderate and selfish.
It's a self-serving bias.
However, for a couple of centuries, we have maintained prejudices, and in some cases saying that men's and women's brains are not equal? given that it's a lady who had won more than 1 Nobel prize. Different and equal are not the same thing. Concerns me the same thing is being done with health characteristics.
@mehnazhossain4632 agreed. Statistics are useful but not law. Society must learn to recognize generalities while learning to recognize not every individual falls into the general stat
unconscious bias is conscious Bull shit
i often think i'm biased towards my friends and family. it makes me wonder what is the line between loyalty and drawing the line between extremes? am i the type of person who would protect my loved ones from murdering out of blind loyalty, or would i separate myself becuz i i don't want to let others drag me down into their personal depravity? i think i'm blessed to not have to figure it out, as i'm fortunate enough to never be in a situation to be forced to find out. i don't like the idea of having to choose between being good and being loyal, as i've always wanted to see myself as both. i love my family.
0:07 The Unconscious Mind Is Amazing. It Can Process Vastly More Information Than Our Conscious Mind By Using Shortcuts Based On Our Background, Cultural Environment, And Personal Experiences To Make Almost Instantaneous Decisions About Everything Around Us. The Snag Is It's Wrong Quite A Lot Of The Time, Especially On Matters That Need Rational Thinking.
1:01 Our Unconscious Mind Uses Instinct Not Analysis. So Our Unconscious Is Fallible. It's Also Biased. It Makes Snap Judgments Of People We Meet. Categorizing Them According To Gender, Social, And Other Characteristics. In Milliseconds We Judge Whether Somebody Is Like Us And Belongs To Our In-Group. These Are The People We Favor.
My fundamental concern here is what institutions decide to do with this highly personal information and what it means for the culture at work? Essentially they could call this a "are you [employees] inclined to racist thinking" test. The answer unequivocally will be a unanimous "YES".
Questions to be asked are:
Are institutions going to promote internally on the basis of bias?
Are institutions going to fire those on the basis of their bias?
Will all biases be weighted equally?
If you work in a predominantly single-colored country will the weighting on your test reflect that?
What effect will the results have on employees and office culture?
Tricky one.
Well in my case it was gender. I didn't have to pick one of the two. It's meant to be at the individual level of monitoring. Racist is labeling and evaluating character, and bias within itself.
Royal Society is a captured institution. The nonsense they spout on Twitter etc brings shame on their long history.
Actually, it's not 5 pence, not entirely. The actual answer is more along the lines of: "with the information provided, it's impossible to determine the actual value of the ball, though we can deduce that the ball will not cost MORE than 5 pence.
In order to work against unconscious bias, we need to ensure our decisions are based on fact. Go back to the video, at 0:41, the narrator said the bat costs £1 more than the ball, not, as many have interpreted "the bat costs exactly £1 more than the ball" such, that the ball could actually cost just 2 pence.
The bat only need cost the price of the ball at 2 pence, plus 1 pound in order to satisfy the statement, so if the ball were to cost 2 pence, and the bat 1 pound 8 pence (£1.08) then both the statements that the bat costs £1 more than the ball, and that the order total would come to £1.10 would evaluate to true.
Only if we were told that the bat costs EXACTLY £1 more than the ball, could the ball be 5 pence.
This is how the rational brain gets caught out: itself taking shortcuts based on what it THINKS it has witnessed, and then recording the memory based on this new interpretation.
If the bat costs £1 more then you'd add £1 to the price to calculate it. You'd absolutely interpret it as exactly £1. If I hold out my hand and say it'll cost you £1 more I wouldn't expect anything other than exactly £1 in addition to what was already paid. If the ball costs 2p and so you give me £1.02, then you have not satisfied the fact that the bat and the ball together cost £1.10.
@@NibblyPig That wasn't quite what I was saying, although you are in the right lines. Unconscious bias describes making unintended shortcuts based on the information we receive. The point here is that the video was too loose with its description, yet most, including the video narrative interpret this to the greater precision.
Here, the video simply says that the bat costs £1 more than the ball. If the video had said that the bat had cost EXACTLY £1 more than the ball, then of course, the ball must cost £0.05 and the bat £1.05 as £0.05 + £0.05 = £0.10 which when adding that exact £1: £1 + £0.10 = £1.10
But the video doesn't say that the bat costs EXACTLY £1 more than the ball, just that the bat costs £1 more than the ball, so its possible to unevenly split the remaining £0.10 between the bat and the ball, just as long as the bat gets the greater than or equal to share eg, the ball could cost 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 pence for the bat to cost £1 more than the ball, and the total bill to equal £1.10
Thank you, I was getting so confused. You made it make sense, appreciate it.
Bias, a very interesting topic.
Are they really as objective as they think they are ... 💫💥💯👀💫
Had to watch this for school.

I had to watch this for the woke company I work for.
amazing
Is it problematic if you think about unconscious bias. The operative word being think. As soon as you think about an unconscious bias it ceases to be unconscious.
I still don't get why the ball costs 5 pence. Could someone explain?
It's a bias or flirting with bias in the presumptuous example that women and men think differently and as if it always is in a struggle for power in the perspective towers suggesting picking position for or against - rather than considering how it works objectively. "Men are by natural, gender, cultural and social laws generally always suppressive or/and discriminating to women." It's an example bias as good as any. one of the most exploited of our times.
The struggle isn't about dominance. In my world power in the form of a mathematical equation is acceptable, Might is not right.
Is conscious bias better because we are thinking about it and can do a better job of it?
Didn’t know I was gonna get a maths lesson when clicking on this video
Apparently, I've never met non-biased people. It's hard to find. Because sometimes, we consider our opinions as one form of prejudices which could be different.
Well put.
Just be conscious of our unconscious bias.
Basically a short version of Thinking, Fast & Slow by Daniel Kahneman
Always trust your unconcious bias when dealing with people in Business and the work place. They don't like to admit it but these bureaucratic decisions are always down to experience and what you know.
I appreciate the fact that this video allows comments. Most videos discussing unconscious bias do not allow comments, because unconscious bias is BS.
My "training" explained that basically everything in life contributed to my "bias". My family life, every movie or TV show I ever watched, every interaction I ever had etc. My problem here is that "bias" is implied to be something bad. My life experiences shaped the person I am today. It's made me who I am. It is NOT fundamentally bad and wrong. We all have our life experiences. We all come from different points of view. We can all learn from each other. That's what diversity is all about isn't it?
Diversity is great and wonderful, except when it comes to me, and I am told I a biased, bigoted, racist and just plain wrong. Sorry, that is complete and utter BS. I am proud of who I am and where I came from.
Yeah this focus on implicit or unconscious bias is so messy and is almost scary in a way. It makes a lot of assumptions and tries to decide what someone is thinking based on their identity. It’s also bullshit
The point is not that you are a bad person for having unconcious biases - as the video says its something that literally everyone has and relies on throughout our lives. The point is that our unconcious assumptions are not infalliable and it's important to be aware of them. If you think it's 'BS' then I think you are misinterpreting what's being said. If someone were to list you the health risks associated with overeating and obesity, would your takeaway from that be that eating is bad and if you eat you are an inherently unhealthy person? I imagine not, and the same principle applies here.
@@DrEdward In other words "Don't judge a book by it's cover." I just taught the same lesson in a fraction of the time. "Unconscious Bias" training might not be 100% BS, but it is a ridiculous waste of time.
yes, when people don't understand Science they call it BS.
Well it's not about black, and white thinking or a label/ Has anyone told you you were biased, bigoted, or racist? Have you thought of seeing a counselor? The aim was to get people to connect with science, and research, back to first principles. It's probably your experience of unconscious bias there.I wouldn't internalize those labels.
What's the answer if it's not $0.10 because it would make the first Equation false if it's not..... and that's if the second Equation was following the first Equation rules and if that's the case the ball would be x...... X=1.00- bat...

Addressed! I'm glad that's over.
not unconscious bias is part of human evolution? So if it built as it is, that mean it is the best option for the species as the whole?
No, natural selection favours genes which replicate not species, a species might change or die out but the genes which replicated survive to this day.
Unconscious bias is really a subset of many overlapping ideas. And this video is proof of poor arithmetic skills no bias.
Bias is real I don't deny it, but when it tries to argue you should treat people who are mentally ill differently I am in shock!
"Many of us chose 10p without thinking"
Erm... nope! I thought first, did the maths, and still gave a rubbish answer.... Does that mean both my conscious and unconscious thinking are biased? And if so, do two biases make a non-bias? :o)
Ha-ha, £1.05 + 0.05 = 1.10. The bat costs £1 MORE than the ball
@@lenai.9314 I think ultimately what made him get the wrong answer was that he was reading the screen which showed "Bat = 1P + Ball" which would have made the ball .10P instead of what the narrator said which was "The bat costs 1 pound more than the ball" which technically should have been shown visually as "1.10P = Bat = 1P + Ball + Ball. Solve for Ball" but that would probably lose people too.

You tried, and you put in the effort. There is also a conscious bias. I am not a sociologist to the last one, don't know don't think so.
So where does the other 5p come from?
The board is misdirection, or shortly put not the question at all. The narrator says that "the Bat costs 1Pound more than the ball, aka 1pound 5pence."
@@GamerboyAlex I don't understand, and I'm not stupid but if you have one pound 10 cents minus one pound then equals 10 cents ergo said that cost 1 lb and that leaves 10 cents on the table please tell me when I'm missing cuz I can't even sleep now.
@@serenas8144 The bat costs 1 pound *more* than the ball. If the price of the ball was 10 pence, that would make the bat cost 1.10 and the total would be 1.20 which is incorrect (the total needs to be 1.10). Do you see now?
@@serenas8144 Meanwhile if the ball is 5 pence, that would make the cost of the bat 1.05, and combined we get the desired total of 1.10. The algebra:

The "Monitor Each Other for Unconscious Bias" is terrifying,it's like the Soviet Union monitoring each
I’ll be watching ;)
It's part of the Socialist indoctrination.
Big brother watching.
No, it isn't like the Soviet Union (or East Germany, in the case, of a different post): the monitoring done under those régimes was totally covert and you would have neighbours spying on their neighbours, or even on members of their own family, with those being spied on being totally in the dark. That is not what "monitoring each other" means - it's a distortion of the meaning and I wonder if unconscious bias could be behind the distorsion? I worked in HR for many years specializing in performance management: peer review and 360° reviews are now a commonplace, but they are predicated on the information going first to the person whose performance is being reviewed and their having a right to correct and/or criticize what is said in the review.
It's funny the narrator says men would be more likely to listen to her if she was a man, when in fact men are more likely to listen to female voices; women were widely used as radio operators in WWII because their higher-pitched voices were easier to pick out from loud engine noise in aeroplanes.

X- ball
Y-bat
X+Y=1.10 a ball and bat is $1.10
Y= X+1 a bat is $1 more than a ball
So buy bat is the same as buying a ball but paying a dollar extra. Therefore you rewrite your first equation like this.
X + X+ 1= 1.10
Let simplify that, as you can see you are buying two balls but you paying a dollar extra.
2X+ 1= 1.10
2X=1.10-1
2X=0.10
2X/2= 0.10/2
X=O.50
A ball is 50 pence
I don't think the maths question is a good example of unconscious bias. After a few minutes of straining thinking, I still don't get it.
Very Interesting
I read a paper on unconscious bias after experiencing unconscious bias in 2011 on a weekend break. I had been working 6-7 days per week in labs, on most weekends, that year due to enthusiasm, and choice. I read the paper on implicit bias in 2013-2014. We were encouraged to challenge it if we saw it happening in the community. It's hard., particularly when you were by yourself. It helped me to cope with lingering feelings, provide relief, and push through. Just prior to that, I had remembered my supervisor's comment at the time to channel it, prior to looking up unconscious bias. I was later told by their family members that it was good I had left my studies, without ever communicating to them that I had left, I had published that paper this was between 2014-2015. What concerned me when issues of unconscious bias were raised was, just before covid, I had to apologize for raising it up, as if I was in the wrong. I know that the royal society has standards those were the standards I had adhered to, whilst I was there. It's tragic that outside of this environment we, and very often this is coming from educated professionals and their families, It's not acceptable. If they knew the impact of their comments, the concern is that it hinders the progress of the individuals at the receiving end. It is disappointing that this is the case. I see it happening more in the community, so if you are stuck in peripheral work it is hard. And it's disappointing that it's one's own ethnic group, for belonging, then, of course, unconscious bias due to gender, and or where I was from, where I lived, I don't want to be beaten up, in the end of 2012 beginning of 2013, within the week of coming home from my university library. I watched this published video which gave me reassurance enough to let one person know by the beginning of 2016, so since then I have actually had another person know. a person knows until I reached to disclose to an authority figure. So before choosing an undergraduate course had visited Times Higher Ed, and also read the 2018 article. Some of the experiences that I've had are reinforcing the running away syndrome, which is a negative self-fulfilling prophecy. Writing is a task. The real work to me was the lab work just after graduation, I have moved to actual of writing as the real work. So I am genuinely grateful for the published content without a doubt from the royal society on unconscious bias. Then again to have unconscious biases thrown at you, whilst being isolated it does impact. The general members of the public have been brilliant, they want to know what you've done, and they are able to empathize. It is good to remind oneself if the person receiving the end feels that it's an implicit bias or discrimination then it is. The people who are doing it have justified to themselves that it's acceptable when it isn't. It concerns me because a culture has been developed, it confirms itself.
I keep on going to counseling which is keeping me stuck in the community, tragic, and so one accepts the situation as it is. The people who are directing unconscious bias toward me never cared to ask what I do, what I do, they jumped to conclusions. They keep on doing me, me, my thing. Or they never understood what value is? I regret not voicing my concerns, rather than reading the paper in silence or risking being told why their comments are justified. If I read a paper on implicit bias and then had an output, then there was an implicit bias, it's empirical experience. I was very lucky since where I grew up the people around me were very supportive of women being in science or wishing to pursue it. I thought that was the norm rather than the exception. There was training to be female university educators there, or university educators themselves. And this was evident in the interactions with the males. It's a shock when you find out not the case at all. Perhaps what I had forgotten was to remind myself to hold my own hands, that's what we are trained to do. I also found that the general public is also interested in what you do, and what scientists do. I don't want young women researchers to be silenced or be prevented from pursuing a career despite having the caliber for it. In pursuit of knowledge, or in the discovery of knowledge. I prefer growth rather than talent. Talent seems very finite, growth can be flexible it allows people to learn from mistakes. A growth mindset helped me since primary school, and asking questions also helped me. That's Carole Dweck's research. I have been slower than others in using discrimination, seeing it as a sociological term. I was my mother in primary school. Just before covid, I was coming in Peterborough library we had lady Montague, and the pub next door has a microscope, and information sheets. That's a past situation. I didn't cause covid. It was a coincidence. So I was probably slow to put up a boundary, without instruction, and I am able to communicate to others to put that up themselves, so please put up that boundary.
I do feel disappointed that I have not been able to pursue that choice of profession, self-compassion Kirsten Neff/Paul Gilbert, in contrast to self-deprecation, and away from shame. If anyone is reading this, this is my real-life experience please be a bit sensitive, and kind in responses, or judgemental, some of the information is personal and traumatic, it is the past. I had a publication each time I had read up on implicit bias after an incident had taken place.
If anyone has any alternative evidence on talent or papers that they've read, I am open to the alternative viewpoint.
One of the ladies had also failed to clarify her profession, using my mother's cohesive identity, giving me my mum's professional identity to me. It took them 7 years, only because I had asked. And they work in a sector where data, and confidentiality matter. They repeatedly misused personal details. It's a fraudulence.
Not clarifying with accuracy, with inconsistent information being provided to me.
They spend too much reliance on how the information is interpreted on identifiable details. It's being done at my cost. I just want them to stop missing my family's personal details.
I haven't experienced this anywhere else. I have lived in many places, I have never experienced, people using personal details, that it isn't theirs. My Family and I worked hard, And in adulthood, I worked hard as an independent adult. Whilst this blog is about unconscious bias, it's the same lady who told me "it's good you left your profession", who is beingused my family's cohesive identity. I don't mind people progressing due to their own efforts or goals/ I do mind when it's misleading or misguiding me. I am also aware of the halo effect or beauty bias. Socrates 1st example. I still don't know anything. And I still want people to stop using my data. Attribution bias is a probably the last o I am not a psychologist.
I have an underestimation error, and probably could be talking more about the science, and research, not me. I eventually got there sorry everyone. So again on thos enotes I had to question the controversial research, obesity being linked to lower IQ. In poe, and egg heads aswell in that situation. I have empirical experience male or female who have completed their higher studies (doctoral level), and in academic teaching. I apologize for anyone for using or drawing attention to that characteristic. I know from my experience the findings to not be true.And I have concerns about generating a global evaluation of character or abilities based on that, for the individuals in that situation. It's really about perseverance, and question that you want to answer. How come the apple fell on my head? . in my case what on my parents face? Yes around that time I was around Anne from St. Anne street.
Really difficult to concentrate on the commentary with the background speech. Also, I spent all the video wondering why the answer to the teaser question was 5p so switched of from the commentary.
well persevere through it.
Still don’t know how they ball is worth half of what I thought

It's easy to assume the bat's cost as being 1 pound instead of it actually being 1 pound 5 pence...which makes it cost 1 pound more than the cost of the 5 pence ball.
I still dont get why the ball costs 5 pents and not 10 pents if the bat costs 1 Dollar
th-cam.com/video/K0O1_nwAky0/w-d-xo.html
If the ball cost ten pence then the bat would only be 90 pence more expensive instead of one pound more expensive.
No the bat doesnt cost 1 pound it costs 1.05
Believing this video is an example of unconscious bias..
You are suffering from the Dunning Kruger bias. 🤣👍
As an American I got this wrong. But I have no idea what a pence or pound is

X- ball
Y-bat
X+Y=1.10 a ball and bat is $1.10
Y= X+1 a bat is $1 more than a ball
So if you buy bat is the same as buying a ball but paying a dollar extra. Therefore you rewrite your first equation like this.
X + X+ 1= 1.10
Let simplify that, as you can see you are buying two balls but you paying a dollar extra.
2X+ 1= 1.10
2X=1.10-1
2X=0.10
2X/2= 0.10/2
X=O.50
A ball is 50 pence
0.1/2 is not 0.5
.05
Very clever, and it's impressive, You are a pro.
The answer was 5 pence.
Reminds me of maths in post-primary school. I did like algebra. We just kept stats.
Can somebody elaborate why the ball will cost 5 p?
X+Y = 1.1
X = Y + 1
Solve for X and Y. The rest is just elementary math
@@hedgehog_foxI still don't get it.
@@anthosantha You can get there through trying the possibilities too. If the bat has to be 1 pound more (100 pence more), than the ball, then the answer of 10p for the ball (which would leave a price of 100p for the bat) can't be right because that would mean the bat at 100p is only 90p more than the ball at 10p.
If you keep dropping the price of the ball, then the price of the bat will go up in step. So you get 9p:101p, 8p:102p, 7p:103p, 6p:104p and finally 5p:105p where there is now 100p difference between the prices.
This is algorithmic
We can't cure unconscious bias, but we can address it ? Then, what is use of addressing or understanding unconscious bias ?
Because by understanding and recognising it, you can make things better. You can watch this to see how th-cam.com/video/RhqMEiTVICU/w-d-xo.html
So that you can continue to engage with and work through science, and be kind to another.

It's about boundary, and respect.
I don't like being offended, do you?
I hate my professor
So the claim is that people get the question about the cost of the ball because of unconscious bias? No one arrives at the answer, right or wrong, unconsciously.
It was just an example that people answer off of "gut feeling" and not always analysing the problem. For people who have worked in a certain field for a long time, they can get a good feel for a lot of answers. I am not willing to just turn off my gut feelings. It has done humans good for many years. But there are times I question these gut feeling. I don't believe that we are unknowingly biased like this videos friends would like you to believe. Our unconscious still manifests through our feelings. Like "That doesn't seem right" or "Something is wrong with that". So if I was racist or had bad feelings toward another group I still would know. A lot of the science behind this is shady to me. And I don't feel like sleeping with my mom.
lots of bias in this video. and please don't try and monitor others...
You can always count on there being idiots commenting under intellectual videos.
You are shadow projecting your dunning kruger bias that is you being stupid. You're saying this video is stupid, but it is you who is stupid, thus you are unaware of your own bias. Incredible isn't it?
@@jaycameron No likey communism.
I don't understand how the ball cost 5p & not 10p . . .
Its just a confusing question really. They make it sound like the bat costs £1, but what they actually say is the bat costs £1 MORE THAN the ball. Also the graphic in this video is terrible as it tries to confirm than the bat cost £1. So if the ball cost 5p and the the bat cost £1 more than this (£1.05) then they both add up to £1.10
Somebody, I'm going to admit I have not watched the video completely yet, how does one pound 10 pence minus 1 lb equal 5 Pence?
The bat and ball together cost £1.10. The bat costs £1 more than the ball.
If the ball cost 10p, the bat must cost £1.10 - (£1 more than the ball). But that would give a total of £1.20, which is not correct. So, the bat must cost £1.05 and the ball 5p - then the total cost is £1.10 and the bat costs £1 more than the ball.
Total cost £1.10. This is the cost if both items were the same, plus the £1 that the bat costs more than the ball.
Take the £1 off the total as this needs to be reserved to make up the "£1 more" than if they both cost the same price.
Whatever's left would be the total if they both cost the same, so divide it between the two - 10p divided by two equals 5p. So the bat and ball would cost 5p each if they were the same price. But the bat is £1 more, so we add the £1 back on to the cost of the bat. £1.05 is a pound more than 5p.
Hope this helps. :-)
@@Stew282 Yes. I can sleep now. Lol. Thank you. 🙏
I find the easiest way is to go backwards...
A) We need the bat to cost £1 more than the ball, so remove the £1 from the equation and give it to the bat
B) What do we have left? 10p. Split that between the bat & ball.
C) Bat is £1.05p, Ball is £0.05p.
Also "lb" is pound as a measure of weight, not currency (£)
@@Stew282 Thank god. I just couldn't see it. It's the 'more' that is is relevant. 🤦🏽♀️
Nope, still can't understand how the ball costs 10p?
No the ball actually costs 0,5 pens
X+X+1.00 = 1.10
2X = 1.10-1.00 = 0.10
X = 0.10/2 = 0.05
1:05. I didn't get confused and their math is wrong.the bat is 10p. Don't let this convince you are bad at math
Ball definitely 10p.some research going on

So... people are solely instinctive and react automatically without engaging the higher functions of their brains? Really?
Ke Roth lt's true for some kind of people.They're repeatedly their reactions against someone they hate.
its all about the unconscious mind, you don't consciously digest your food or breath, those are unconscious, you also don't often walk consciously, if you had to think and act out everything consciously than you would constantly be running over people in you car. if you see a snake you instantly jump out of the way as to avoid the snake, the conscious mind is often to slow.

This video is the extreme explanation of "Did you just assume my gender?!?"
How?
or assume my profession.
If its unconscious bias how does anyone know they have it including those that made this clip? Ridiculous!
Om shanti k good day please
Why would someone say 10 pence?
From just the written word I cannot tell if you are joking or not I will assume you are asking a genuine question. In that case, the answer is simply because this video was made in the United Kingdom. Hence the narrator's accent and the fact that 'The Royal Society' is a British organisation. Our currency is pounds (£) and pence (p), not dollars and cents. When our currency went decimal in the 1970s we changed from calling the basic unit of a 'penny' to 'pence'.
@@christospagonis693 That's not what I meant, I was wondering why someone would answer with 10 pence instead of 5 pence.
@@raydarable Doh! Sorry about that. But this highlights how easily this medium encourages confusion and how in next to no time things can escalate into world war 3.
@@christospagonis693 I can understand your point, but I still don't see why someone would think the answer is 10 pence instead of 5.
Why can't people make objective judgments?
Because we don't have infinite time to judge every single minor situation.
If you are walking down a dark alley alone, and from the other end a group of big tattoed guys start moving towards you with various knives and baseball bats in hand, do you keep walking to meet them and ask them what they are up to, or do you just turn around and try to get away as quickly as possible? Maybe your assumption that they will attack you was wrong. But do you risk it, just because you don't have 100% of the information?

Hi - I am working for an educational institution and would like to use this video for the purposes of internal training for staff who are involved in selection and interviewing . Can you confirm permission to use the video please?
No you can´t .
Yes
I'm a bit disturbed by this video, you are essentially saying you cannot trust your instincts, even if you train them and remain well cultivated. Working on training your instincts surely has to be part of the message, other than just slowing down and accepting that we are all essentially racist on instinct? Many shocked faces havent been training...
One is not being trained to be a firefighter. Science isn't about instincts, you have to do the experiment to find out, empirically speaking or work through the problem, if it's rationalistic. So if we took what a specific instinct, tested for it, falsified it, repeated it, it got an answer and then repeated in say multiple different people 100-1000 people, and we got the same answer. then you can trust with accuracy, and precision what your instinct told you. It's time-consuming and takes a lot of effort.
It's about self-awareness.
I disagree, the framework presented is essentially an excuse to be thoughtless. Ok, so the principal to slow down a decision when you realise you are acting in a false instinct is good. But, the heightened intellect of this community is surely ignoring the training aspect of making your instincts more reliable, slowing down helps but not if you haven't developed your rationality. I don't know what your firefighter statement means, but we no to put a fire out naturally, and we know we can get burnt, and if we train more we now an electrical fire can't have water on it. Even if you slow down you might think to throw water on the electrical fire, in lack of training and consideration of the type of fire/ cultural identity??
How do you figure the ball is worth 5 pence? If you take away the bats price of 1 pound, and take away the balls price of 5 pence, you are left with another 5 pence left over?
The bat costs £1 MORE than the ball. It doesn't cost £1. If the ball is 5 pence, then the bat costs £1.05, totalling £1.10. More is the key word in the sentence.
@@emmakilbey223 Yes, took me a few secs to get it. Nice maths trick/wordplay but little to do with unconscious bias I think
It's called growing up at age 18 and taking accountability for your actions as an adult and to not make excuses for your behavior .
Only in a perfect world right?
"monitor each other for unconscious bias" wow thats some scary chairman Mao shit right there. i like my unconscious bias leave it alone. its there for a reason. its an instinct
Men are more likely to nod if a male is narrating. Sorry, I don't agree with that.
There are a lot of speech pattern tricks and (in real-life) body language and face reading tactics involved if you really wanna be heard.
You have to constantly monitor your audience, raise or lower your pitch according to response, and look for cues that you need to modify/adapt.
And while hearing, you modify your future response talking in to account several factors like sudden shift in pitch, pauses, delays, steering a conversation in to another direction and a lot of other things.
It's not as simple as just being male/female.
Maybe the Royal Society needs to consider how on earth humanity has gone from making simple stone tools to designing the smart phone in our hands. We managed to do all of that without worrying about "unconscious bias" once. So why do we need to worry about it now? Especially since the very nature of "unconscious" means we cannot do anything about it.
Research involves collaborating with others. And there's been global travel. Having awareness is what you can do about it, to change a response, if a colleague or peer were facing it, would you say something to intervene.
@@mehnazhossain4632 Have the Royal Society considered that people may be unconsciously biased when calling out other people for unconscious bias? For example, a woman may assume, due to unconscious bias, that a man selected or voted for another male candidate simply because he was male when other factors may have shaped the called out man's decision. They could go round in circles accusing each other of unconscious bias.
