Balance (Ep 10)

Notice how Veitchy runs to that checkerboard floor and the 'feral yout' does that 'come on then' gesture, 7x at the end!😁🦁🙀💞

The verbatim effect is a cognitive bias that causes people to remember the gist of information better than its exact form, so they remember general meaning better than specific details.

For example, when people read a long text, they're more likely to remember its core message than how exactly it was phrased.

People experience the verbatim effect because gist memory (which focuses on the main meaning of information), is generally encoded more effectively than verbatim memory (which focuses on the surface form of information), and because people generally prefer to remember information in a way that's as meaningful and as least detailed as possible.

Accounting for the verbatim effect can help you understand and predict what information you're likely to remember, so you can plan accordingly when it comes to how you do things like take notes.

Accounting for the verbatim effect can also help you predict what other people are likely to remember, which can help you improve how you do things like present information.
