Document Summary
That part of the mind that actually does most of the work in getting us through every day life: called the adaptive unconscious, or the cognitive unconscious. Dalton is using both words bc in the reading by tim wilson, he uses the term adaptive unconscious while but the vast majority of us psychologists use the word cognitive unconscious it means the same thing. A review: in the lectures on culture, we discussed tje essential sharedness at the heart of talk. 1. common perspectives ways of seeing regarding whats real, what"s good or bad. We also learn shared repoitores of shared meaninsg/gestures. We come to make associations bn ppls responses, what we say, how we gesture with our hands/face/body. We dont just learn these things one at a time, we learn them in bundles/packages. 2. shared repertoires of meanings for words and gestures.
