Topic 5 – Observation and Analogy > Observation is complacent > Observation is Complacent

  • Our sensory systems are designed to notice changes, not consistency.
  • We simply become unaware or we automatically work around anomalies.
  • It means to accept the minimal condition rather than to pursue the optimal.

Topic 5 – Observation and Analogy > Observational biases > Observational Biases

  • The bias of seeing only the expected can be perilous in producing biased stereotypes.

  • With metaphors, we fully equate the things, whereas with analogies, we appreciate similarities as well as differences.
  • Analogies help us to better understand intangible concepts by relating them to something readily observable.

  • A discussion and examples of flat associations versus steep associations.
  • The ability to generate more associates and more original associates leads to surprising new ideas that can even help to jog memory.

  • Observation and analogy are useful tools in the PIG In MuD toolbox.
  • Observation, when it involves a repeated stimulus, becomes complacent.
  • Analogies are useful in detecting associations to other things that may serve to answer questions or solve problems.

  • Observation and analogy are useful tools in the PIG In MuD toolbox.
  • Neither is terribly outside the box yet both provide propulsion to launch innovation.
  • Observation, when it involves a repeated stimulus, becomes complacent.
  • Both of these attributes work against innovation in that they conceal anomalies and they obstruct full awareness.
