The output is right in front of us, so our brains think it’s the best option. Our brains like to work efficiently, so if we’ve got information that serves our purpose, we’re often happy to rely on it without further investigation. It also prompts people to consider alternative viewpoints they might not see at first.

For example, “The pencil eraser is changing our brains.” I googled it.

Cognitive theorists believe that as new information enters the working memory, earlier information is pushed out. Since the information entering at the end doesn''t get pushed out as quickly, the brain has more time to process and remember the later stuff. This seems to miss the opportunity to take advantage of the recency effect.

Creating an entire video course is another alternative. Your brain forges more cognitive connections while watching videos because so many senses are involved. It’s because of how the brain works. Reading text, for instance, requires the brain to process the information more “actively.”
