What Other People Say May Change What You See

Brain-based research will alter much of how we think about our thinking. For all of our hypothesizing, we are largely unaware of how our brains really work. What Other People Say May Change What You See is an interesting article providing a glimpse into how new research is answering some very foundational questions. This article in particular explains how people's perception is actually altered based on the input from others - as if there is a perceived cost of going against group/other's standing views. Tightly linked to this type of brain-based research is a growing understanding of how people collaborate and behave in cooperative environments. The study of group behaviour is of strong interest to corporations and education. Collaborating and building networks are both vital knowledge skills. A functioning understanding of how these skills impact group and individual behaviour is important.
