- How does a fact become a misconception? Dig into the world of misinformation to see how facts can become distorted and misleading.
--
In 1901, David Hänig published research that led to what we know today as the taste map: an illustration that divides the tongue into four separate areas. It has since been published in textbooks and newspapers. There is just one problem: the map is wrong. So how do misconceptions like this spread, and what makes a fake fact so easy to believe? Joseph Isaac dives into the world of misinformation.

Nobody is "immune" to misinformation, doesn't matter the level of scholar knowledge you have.
This is why we should always ask our sources and assumptions, even things we thought we knew well.
Right brother
Well said.
my math teachers were always giving me steps for solving problems without explaining why we do this and I found tons of flaws in their thinking

"70% of all stats are made up, including this one."
They had us in the first half ngl
Kurt E. Clothier likewise, adding a random decimal to the end
like 77.5%
@@snowylilac371 actually you might want to stray away from 7 as well. Notice how ted, Kurt E. Clothier, and you, used 7 as a "random" number? 7 seems more random because its prime, its not in the middle between 1-10, but also not one less than ten or one more than ten. So it seems random, but conciously avoid using too many 7s
*83%
It's always 83%

Partly yes, I think so

And this is how trinity was misinterpreted from the Bible (When the Hebrew/Aramaic language was translated into Greek/Roman)
@@tawfekbaseel7377 True, but Human Translate doesn't always do its job perfectly either. At least with multiple uses of Human Translate, we can expect more accuracy and reliability when they all agree on something. The issues come in when they don't agree, though, since certain things are hard to translate. And then there are those versions of Human Translate that haven't been entirely updated to Fluent level...

"Misconceptions can result in bitter taste in all parts of the tongue".Give Ted ed a medal
If it's easy to digest, it'll most likely get spread whether it's true or false
Clints Random Channel that’s why it’s hard to change someone’s opinion on anything
For a huge concentration of mistruths look up: political campaigns and psychology...
One big mistruth is the calorie in - calorie out model on losing weight made popular by coca-cola et al. Calories are a huge simplification of how the body uses energy from food and don't take into account hormonal or gut bacteria, and they assume all weight loss or weight gain is equally bad.
it fake news and worst is when it was teaching in school... that was before internet...
Including this comment?
"Did you know that 70% of all statistics are made up?..."
Me : Noooo...?
"...including this one."
Im so naïve :(
I feeel betrayed!!! :-( :D
Naïve nerd
Lol its not made up. Its just not the statistics of the entire population and everything.
So its better than nothing to give u a perspective
lol the same thinking :DD
We did the "taste map" experiment when we were in school and when some students pointed out that they could taste every flavor in other places on the tongue, the teacher said that they must be doing it wrong.
Same here. We were just mistaken, supposedly
Sometimes people don’t try to read beyond what they know or heard first.
"they must be doing it wrong" they must have been born incorrectly or smth smh teacher
The tongue map is a common misconception but then also our teachers teach the wrong thing
Examples?
Trueee
But when I put a Warhead candy against my cheek and rub the side of my tongue on it, it feels especially sour. That same feeling doesn't happen with other parts of my tongue.
Kurt E. Clothier google the Nocebo Effect
Its crazy how that tongue theory was thought when i was in middle school, thats not that long ago, imagine what other things we're learning that is just an unfortunate misconception?
i actually experimented myself when i learned of it sometimes from kindergarten to 2nd grade. I also came to the conclusion it was complete BS
@@JacobRy I read it in a hardbound encyclopedia (when they still existed), also experimented on myself and called the map BS.
@@shishi6799 yep. Nothing like experimenting as a kid :)
I experimented this as a kid too, concluded that it wasn't accurate about my tongue
@@IRosamelia yeah me too
This video yet again proves that TED-Ed videos teach us more in one small video than school ever did.
Sadly true, our educational system is rigged.
Totally agree!
I even still have those wrong taste map in highschool textbook smh
That's why I hate it when books tells us about information with no explanation or proof and this is one of the main reasons I love math more than any other subject
I really would like to agree with you, but then I realized without school, i couldn't read / understand your comment at all. Greetings from germany :)
"The only problem with this is it's wrong."
That is very well put.

It's difficult to distinguish truth from lies when you're not expert on the subject, since even scientists get it wrong sometimes, also the internet is full of lies.
My friend tested out the tongue thing himself by eating sugar on different parts of the tongue. The teacher got mad at him when he told her this.
I had read this in my school book. After I came home, I tried putting sugar at back of my tongue and could still taste it. I thought maybe I did something wrong and some sugar fell on front side of the tongue. I tried it many times but every time I could taste it. I asked my teacher/parents about it but I don't remember anybody giving good answer. Finally I know the truth after 15+ years. Thanks.
4:55 "did you know that 70% of statistics are made up? including this one!"
hold up what
yeah what im so confused
Because they see something on Facebook and think "I don't know if this is true, but I also don't know if it isn't true, so I'm going to share it JUUUSSSTT in case it MIGHT be true." *shares*

lies create a catastrophe that brings down a giant nation (the disaster at Chernobyl in 1986 caused the collapse of Soviet communism five years later)
my guess is because people need to confirm their thoughts and get a ‘nod’ on their thoughts, so they feel they do the right thing. and sometimes the information is just not enough, and people are feeling sad that they can’t confirm what other people are trying to confirm, so they give a quick possibility to them, but when they gave it, people who receive the input are impatient and taking the info as fact rather than a possibility, and for them the info is credible (even though it’s not), and they spread the info as fact to other people, and it spreads. and misinformation getting bigger.
and social media take parts in spreading it a step further, because people could easily inform more misinformation like they could easily inform valid information.
gotta come back to see if my prediction is correct.
edit: so it was about tongue, I got some things right. the media of misinformation turned out to be news and tv (not social media), and turned out umami was the fifth taste. and it mentions a healthy skepticism when it comes to understanding new things which is kinda relate to how I had skepticism about my prediction/guess as it could be correct or not.

This just reinforces my conviction to never trust sources that based their information on something written in a language that is not their own. Many things get lost in translation.
One of the reasons why I keep on learning new languages is to finally check the original sources for the things I have learned in school. Right now, I have just been reading 'The Art of War' in Chinese and I have to say that the original source is more fun and a lot simpler. The English version actually contains a lot of interpretation that does not exist in the original text.
Let’s just appreciate how each Ted-Ed video is drawn in a different style.
Misconceptions and assumptions flowing all over the world 🌿just why?
Finally after almost 16 years my confusion about the tongue map ended here. Thanks Ted.
The thing i love about rhis channel is that you can present any aubject in a way that everyone can understand. 🙏
My absolute favorite part about this misconception is that you can easily stop believing it by simply tasting something
The biggest misconception: The earth is flat
who believes that now
I actually had misconception-inception in regards to the tongue map. I knew that it was a myth that taste is only in certain areas, but I didn't realise there was actually *some* truth to it in terms of sensitivity.
Speaking of misconceptions, you said "comprised of" in this video. The simplification of "composed of" and "comprised" into synonyms is a good illustration of the points made above. The words are related but describe two distinct cases: The parts COMPRISE the whole. The whole is COMPOSED OF the parts. Easy litmus test: If you hear "of" after "comprised," it's being used wrong.
That is true indeed!
The fact that the tounge map is taught in school here makes me question the education system-
I always interpreted the tongue map as where the tastes are felt most intensely because I was never even taught the concept at school.
I first learned in college that gustatory buds, which are alllll over the tongue’s surface, absorb chemicals in food and communicate with the brain to interpret the flavor. THEN as I was researching on my own, when I observed the map for the first time (didn’t read about it, sometimes I just search for diagrams on google images to study) it was pretty obvious what Hänig meant.
It’s a shame that first thing I learned isn’t taught before the map. If it was, there would be no misconception because it’s common sense.
Got so much to learn from your channel ❤️ much support and love
Fun fact! one of ted eds pretty old videos actually misinformed us and believed about the 4 taste regions of the tongue. While i dont remember which video is it now, that part of it still lingers in my head.
Found it! 6 years ago, on how sugar affects the brain. While short, it mentions about the sweet tongue receptors! Ted ed grew a lot huh?
Recipe of a Best LIe
A well-known fact + a little bit of truth + misconception = A lie that will spread faster than wild fire...
Moral Of The Story:
Never Ever Believe The Internet.
Cause You’ll Always Find A Lie Somewhere😉!
Misconceptions aren't lies.
Except this misconception is completely unrelated with internet, and is something taught in most schools (at least it was in mine like 8 years ago)
Also Parents: ItS oN FAcEboOK So iT's CoRrECt InFORmaTion
Flat Earthers be like: "WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! This IS Misconception! Do Your own Research!!!"
The rest of us be like: 🤦♂️
The scary part is the tongue map is still being teach and are still on our textbooks in schools here on my area.
Labeling something as “misinformation” has no bearing on its relationship to the truth of a given situation. It is labeled as such because it is not a lie but simply problematic for those who wish it to be perceived as one.
I guess we should take flat earth seriously?

U r the best teacher and storyteller...
Dude I remember doing tongue map stuff in kindergarten, we even had a little taste test for each of the different areas. However I can’t say the idea was actually that you could only taste certain tastes on certain areas of the tongue, given that it was kindergarten and the curriculum would have been very simplified and presented in a very clear-cut manner.
3:50 In my textbook, it had the same taste map and it also said that since the middle part of the tongue doesn't capture any taste, you can't taste anything there. Luckily, I read about the functions of the tongue before so I knew something was off.
Can we please talk about how awesome this animation is?
fantastic concepts with beautifull animations is the hallmark of ted ed .
Ted ed is even working in these hard times just to clear our doubts and highlight misconceptions.
BTW thank you team Ted ed
Whaaat. Thanks so much Ted Ed. I'm literally doing a presentation on misinformation/disinformation for university soon.
The last time I was this early....I didn't know what to say

Yes, this is overused but I still kind of find it funny.
Ted Ed always create a Interesting content! Thanks for your information. I agree that we have to try to maintain a healthy skepticism due to misinformation . Nowadays there are many ways to find the information sush as social media but we cannot verify whether is reliable or not. So, we should have media literacy even tho in the real world we should listen carefully and not be persuaded.
Choosing to learn something new every day will give you a reason to grown and change.
Imagine if the video was just a guy saying *Gossip* followed by a mic drop.

I remember a grade school textbook with the "tongue map". Though it had the disclaimer that all sensations could be perceived in the tongue, though the basic ones (4 at the time) were stronger in those four regions.
Maybe the idea that people thought you could only perceive taste in four distinct regions of the mouth is itself a misconception? I mean, anyone could put a sweet on the back of the mouth and see for himself that's not true.
Ted-Ed is the only TH-cam channel that I watch every video of
I always knew that the tounge map wasn't accurate smh
Edit: I was right Ms.P
yup it can be taste tested (not pun)
2:17 wouldn't be misinformation if you are living in uk
I mis-clicked and entered this video. I can safely say, *task failed succesfully*
I needed this for my summative essay
Nice try, TED. I’m not buying it.
Q:Why do people fall for misinformation
A: because they are misinformed
There solved it for ya
That's why we need to be verify from diverse sources and perspectives. People simply get overwhelmed by their feelings and beliefs. Everyone at some point does but we need to just step out of our comfort zone of preconceptions and beliefs to explore
Wait but how can i be sure this video isn’t misinforming me?

People are getting way too comfortable labeling all dissent and opposing data as "misinformation"... that and hypocrisy. Way too comfortable.
