This week we are unpacking the mysterious forces of instinct and intuition and explaining how these twin navigators steer our survival strategies as well as our everyday choices. During the episode we reveal how primal behaviors and nuanced judgments not only coexist but often compete for the driver's seat in high-stakes scenarios.
In order to explain how this complex interaction between instinct and intuition, we share some compelling stories of heroism and survival that highlight the variability of human reactions under extreme stress. From the courage of soldiers to the quick thinking of emergency responders, we illustrate how training and intuition intertwine, impacting decisions that can mean the difference between life and death. Get ready to explore the profound interplay of the instinctual and the intellectual within us all.

Today we are talking about the capabilities and limitations of our Memory and how it can be affected by a number of different external and internal influences. 
During the episode we explain how and why our brain creates false memories, how memory-emotion links are formed, the difference between memory and recall, and we explain how to create accurate memories and correct memory distortions so you can use your own experiences for predictive analysis.

Today we are talking about something that affects our perception and our cognitive performance, even before we realize it’s an issue! It’s something we call “O.B.E.” which stands for Overcome By Emotion or Overwhelmed By Events. 
During the episode we define in great detail what we mean by these terms and how they affect our ability to sense make and problem solve but the reason we are talking about OBE is because it comes on much faster than we think and is often the biggest contributing factor to poor decision making. 
When we use the term “overwhelmed” people often assume that we are talking about a situation or event that is highly chaotic or complex but in reality it can come on when we are running a few minutes late for an important event. During the episode we give several examples of what we mean by OBE and we talk about the physiological and psychological processes that contribute to becoming overwhelmed by events or overcome by emotion.

Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s episode of the Human Behavior Podcast. 
For this episode we are defining a term that you’ve likely heard before called Complacency. We’ve all heard the saying that “complacency kills” or had someone tell us not to get complacent but I don’t ever hear anyone defining what complacency actually is! So, for this episode, we are defining complacency using four powerful cognitive processes that affect all humans which are Adaptation, Change Blindness, Channel Capacity, and Sequencing. 
During the episode we define each one of the elements that make up complacency and we talk about why complacency exists, how it affects us, when it affects us, and we give some very simple ways to help counteract the brains natural tendency towards complacency.

Today we are talking about culture and why it matters less than what people think, especially when it comes to reading human behavior. Understanding culture is laboriously slow, heavily nuanced, and in today’s world of mass communication and global connectivity humans have the ability to choose what culture they belong to. 
The human behavior principles that we discuss rely on human behavior characteristics which demonstrate intent. Culture can create idiosyncratic displays, rites, and rituals that have no or nominal bearing on threat prediction and hostile intent determination. So we feel that culture only matters as context, providing increased granularity with which to support one’s evidence-based conclusions. 
For this episode we used the after action review we wrote about a government research project we were involved with a couple years ago where we had to show the efficacy and utility of our intent-based predictive analysis program. If you would like to read more about that program as well as the entire paper we wrote you can find it on the Arcadia Cognerati patreon page.
