| In the class today, we learned that it is hard for people to focus on multiple items or gradual changes happening in an environment. In one of the videos we watched, people's attention is described as an officer working in their brains. The officer processes different kinds of messages we receive, but it can't process multiple tasks at once. When people's brain is focusing on one specific thing, it is very hard for us to spot the changes of other things. When something is ignored, our brains automatically think it didn't happen or doesn't exist, and it affects our perception of the reality. We can use this technique to influence people when communicating them, by mentioning multiple subjects while talking to them and make it hard to remember or process what you have said. This is because human brains can't focus on multiple inputs at the same time, and mentioning multiple topics could make subject's brain busy switching between different things. This technique could be useful for a lawyer of sales person so they can make people forget what they don't want them to remember. We can make it more effectively if we can know their "perception of needs" because people tend to focus on what they think is more important, and can create a better effect on manipulating their attentions. For example, if we know the subject is a male worker, we can guess that he might think he needs money or breaks. By guessing their perception of needs based on their information, we can make them focus on our message more. | In the class today, we learned that it is hard for people to focus on multiple items or gradual changes happening in an environment.
