MiND GaMe

I am currently in a cognitive development class and I am learning some really interesting things ... We do a lot of different 'experiments' to prove the professor's point and I would like to share one that was really fun, no cheating, scroll down slowly



Read the COLOR NOT the WORD

RED

BLUE

GREEN

ORANGE



Not too hard right? Hopefully you got them all right... haha k again







Read the COLOR NOT the WORD


BLUE

GREEN

RED

ORANGE


So, was the second one harder than you thought it would be? Should have been! :) The point of this being in the second one it is hard for us to say the color and not the word due to the fact that our brain processes the word so quickly that it can't help but spit it out! I thought it was pretty funny how hard such a simple task became.
I also found out that there are these glasses that make you see the world upside down, and after a day or so, your eyes flip the image so while wearing the glasses you see the world right side up. After your eyes have made the flip and you take the glasses off... you see the world upside down! And your eyes have to correct the image again. How cool is that?!
The mind truly is an amazing thing ... and a testimony of our Heavenly Father creating us
