Episode 15 - Emotion at Work in Memory & Learning

In this episode, you get to hear Nick Shackleton-Jones, Sukh Pabial & I explore and share our views of emotion, cognition, memory, and learning.  The conversation takes turns and explores areas I didn’t plan or expect and was really interesting all the same.   We talk about the affective context model where Nick suggests that as humans everything that we think, has an emotional basis behind it.  We talk about using repetition in learning, making things memorable and emotionally evocative, and how at times we just need to attend to what others are concerned about.   As we cover a lot of ground, there are a LOT of resources and links all listed below.   Nick’s original blog post that started this conversation https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-dont-think-nick-shackleton-jones   Sukh’s post in response https://pabial.wordpress.com/2017/11/29/you-dont-think-except-that-you-do/   Philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche Martin Heidegger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Heidegger   Relevance Theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance_theory   Working memory summary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baddeley%27s_model_of_working_memory   TED talk on how your working memory makes sense of the world https://www.ted.com/talks/peter_doolittle_how_your_working_memory_makes_sense_of_the_world   Episodic memory summary https://www.livescience.com/43682-episodic-memory.html   Semantic (or declarative memory) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_memory   Herman Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve   Summary of Bartlett’s 1932 Study ‘war of the ghosts’ https://www.thinkib.net/psychology/page/8195/bartlett-1932   Elizabeth Loftus talking at TED about the fallability of memory https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_loftus_the_fiction_of_memory   Harris (1973) study into estimates of basketball player height http://psycnet.apa.org/record/1973-23011-001   Concern - Task - Resource Model http://www.aconventional.com/2015/03/concern-task-resource-model.html   Iowa Gambling Study https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_gambling_task   Paul Ekman and Emotion https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emotions-Revealed-Understanding-Faces-Feelings/dp/0753817659/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515765283&sr=8-1&keywords=emotions+revealed   Tal Ben-Shahar and wellbeing and positive psychology  http://www.talbenshahar.com/?CategoryID=170&ArticleID=89   Martin Seligman and positive psychology https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flourish-Understanding-Happiness-Well-Being-Achieve/dp/1857885694/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1515765324&sr=1-3&keywords=martin+seligman   The Charity Mind https://www.mind.org.uk   Antonio Damasio - Descartes error https://www.amazon.co.uk/Descartes-Error-Emotion-Reason-Human/dp/0099501643/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1515765517&sr=1-1&keywords=Descartes+error   How we decide by Jonah Lehrer https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-We-Decide-Jonah-Lehrer/dp/0618620117   Daniel Kahneman- Thinking Fast and Slow https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0141033576/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1515767025&sr=1-1&keywords=thinking+fast+and+slow   The TED talk I mention how people look back on their lives positively https://youtu.be/8KkKuTCFvzI   More from Nick: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shackletonjones/    More from Sukh: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukhvinder-pabial/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/sukhpabial    Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates! https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/   Learn more about Emotion at Work: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk   Connect with Phil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425/
