Confusión de nombre.

¿Por qué los padres suelen confundir los nombres de sus hijos?

Es muy común que nuestros padres cuando nos llaman nos digan el nombre de nuestros hermanos y puede que hasta digan todos los nombres y el último sea el tuyo. Pero esta situación ya tiene una respuesta científica:

Los neurocientíficos y psicólogos de la Universidad de Duke mencionan que es un mero error cognitivo pues el cerebro tiende a relacionar a las personas de nuestro entorno por grupos: la familia, los amigos, los compañeros de trabajo, para ahorrar espacio y si el cerebro se despista en un momento en el que nuestros pensamientos van muy rápido, es cuando sucede la confusión, aunque en seguida reaccionamos remendando el error. En este estudio se descartó que este suceso tenga que ver con la edad, etnicidad o parecido físico de los hijos.

El estudio demuestra que este error cognitivo:

Sucede cuando los nombres son similares fonéticamente o cuando comienzan con la misma letra. (como en el caso del nombre de mis hermanos y el mío que comienzan con C)

También sucede cuando no existe esta similitud fonética, como cuando se intercambia el nombre de un hijo a una hija y viceversa, o con hijos (as) y compañeros independientemente de su sexo y su nombre y esto es porque se comparten vínculos similares con nosotros.

Y por último, es posible que nuestros padres nos llamen por el nombre de la mascota.

Ahí lo tienen, nuestro cerebro es el que nos hace tener esa confusión de nombres y a todos nos puede suceder, aunque a las mamás un poco más.

Political fanaticism.

Political fanaticism. In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism. But let's start by defining fanaticism: According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”. For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake." Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that are unquestionable, have a square view of t

Earthquakes in Mexico. In Mexico along with other countries, earthquakes are very common and this is because it is part of the Belt or Ring of Fire, located on the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by concentrating some of the most important subduction zones of the world, which causes an intense seismic and volcanic activity in the areas covered.
