Brain Pathways
When I say “macaroni,” you might think “cheese;” when I say “peanut butter,” you could possibly think of “jelly.” Often people refer to blue as boy’s color and pink as a girl’s color. You normally think that these things would coincide because we often see them together. This is an example of the pathways that the world around us has engraved in our brains.
Researchers interested in neuro-pathways conducted a study on a group of dogs. At meal times, when the dogs would be fed, the researchers would ring a bell. Over and over they would ring the bell and would feed the dogs causing them to salivate. One meal, they rang the bell and didn’t feed the dogs. What do you think the dogs did? They ran to the food dish and started salivating
