Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know - like that physical activity boosts your brain power. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget - and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains?

快慢思維(一) - 徐天任

快慢思維(一) - 徐天任 : 2011年11月29日 - 信報研究部 以心理學研究成就而榮獲諾貝爾經濟學獎的卡尼曼(Daniel Kahneman),他的新書Thinking, Fast and Slow今年10月正式出版後迅即哄動,《紐約時報》、《華爾街日報》、《彭博》、《經濟學人》、《金融時報》以及《自然》雜誌(Nature)等多份著名刊物紛紛撰文介紹,《黑天鵝》作者塔利布甚至將之喻為可與精神分析學的創始人佛洛伊德(Sigmund Freud)的The Interpretation of Dreams和經濟學殿堂級巨匠阿當.斯密(Adam Smith)的The Wealth of Nations並列。 行為經濟學及認知偏見心理學當代最權威的專家之一、普林斯頓教授卡尼曼(Daniel Kahneman,1934)在他的《思維,快與慢》(Thinking, Fast and Slow,2011年10月)長序指出,《思維,快與慢》主要討論人們的直覺偏見(biases of intuition),而他投入研究直覺偏見這心理課題要追溯1969年任教耶路撒冷希伯來大學心理學時的一次座談會,卡尼曼邀請已由希伯來大學轉到史丹福任教的亞姆斯.杜維斯基(Amos Tversky,1937-1996)回來作主講嘉賓,杜維斯基當時已是有名的決策心理研究的新星(rising star of decision research),在卡尼曼眼中,32歲的杜維斯基是一個聰穎過人、才華橫溢、健談、魅力非凡的年輕學者,尤其擅於運用幽默小笑話去表達嚴肅的論點,總之有杜維斯基的地方絕無冷場。 卡尼曼與杜維斯基在會後就直覺統計能力進行辯論,杜維斯基在麥歇根大學做過實驗顯示人們都有直覺統計能力,例如一個四歲的女孩子也可以毫不費力地講出符合文法的說話,雖然她根本不知道有文法規則的存在;但卡尼曼自承是直覺統計的弱者,因此他並不認為直覺統計能力是普遍現象。然而,兩位學者並沒有因為意見不同而心存芥蒂,反而同心協力展開直覺統計的研究,在長達14年互相砥礪切磋的學術研究過程裏,兩人更成為莫逆於心的摯友。 直覺偏好 1974年,卡尼曼與杜維斯基聯名在Science發表他們第一份研究報告:Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases,內容闡釋直覺思維(...
