Recommendation

Riding a bike is child’s play, right? Yet when engineer Destin Sandlin decided to unlearn that skill, he discovered deep layers of complexity involved in performing this seemingly mundane action. In this quirky video, Sandlin documents his experiences in coming to understand the intricacies of neural pathways and entrenched habits. getAbstract recommends his mind-bending investigation to those who wish to rethink their own stubborn cognitive biases.

Take-Aways

  • The maxim “it’s just like riding a bike” refers to an easy task that once learned is impossible to forget.
  • Yet the neural “algorithm” that governs riding a bike is surprisingly complicated.
  • When engineer Destin Sandlin learned to ride a “backwards bike” – one that turned right when he steered left, and vice versa – he exposed a deeply rooted cognitive bias.
