Well, okay, now that I see that there's a lot of gaps in the middle of the day here, they're short, maybe there I'm going to do a lot of small non-cognitively demanding thing.

When we are constantly assessing our own nonverbals, it's really tiring, and it's really cognitively demanding and draining.

Older children are cognitively more developed.

But if they're cognitively homogenous—if they think in the same way—and they come up with the same 10 ideas, you only have 10 overall!

This means that this illusion is cognitively impenetrable.

and that's because I live in American society where I get to listen to messages of the form, "Your call is extremely important to us." Watch while my actions are cognitively dissonant from my words.

But one of the potential benefits of going offline is that the processing cognitively of information that happens either when you're awake with your eyes shut versus the non-conscious state of the deep non-REM sleep, that may be required for this type of offline information processing because otherwise, you get information interference.

Boredom is a tendency for us to not be occupied otherwise, cognitively, which switches over our thinking system to use a part of our brain that's called the default mode network.

The answer is seven to eight hours consistently is the most optimal, but over 50% of people are getting less than six hours a night, and countless studies have shown that getting less than six hours on a regular basis is equivalent to being cognitively drunk, and under four hours a night is obviously even worse.

But I'll just say that when high school students read examples of modifying their situation versus using attention in a strategic way versus cognitively changing the way they think about things, uh, the striking finding is that students tell us that to choose your situation or change your situation in ways that are, uh, very intentional, that's actually probably gonna be much more effective than any of the later cognitive strategies.
