All these years I've felt like I was manipulating people, but now I know it was merely psychological trickery, and I feel much more at ease with that.

In Pavlov's experiment, he noticed that dogs drool when they see food, so he started ringing a bell every time before giving them food. After a while, these dogs started drooling just by hearing the bell, even if there was no food. The food wasn’t the point nor was the salivation, it was about creating the association between an unrelated object an a conditioned response.

All the same, thanks for this video. It will help a lot of people.

The door to the face technique is also used in stores where they pretend something is on sale. They'd have a really big number striped out and a way cheaper prize for the product instead....but it's not cheap at all. It just makes you think it is.

I have a teacher who blurts peoples names out as he speaks, like, “Now we’re going to learn about color schemes, right, Lizzie? Sharon looks really excited for this one. Anyway, say Gerald here needs to pick out a color...” It works to grab your attention and keep you engaged for the whole lesson. You’re always on the edge of your seat, excited to be included in the conversation.
