The Statue That Didn’t Look Right

The Getty Museum

The Getty Museum

KourosArchaic Greece sculpture

ideal form of human beauty at that time

every kouros features nude and standing with his left foot forward.

The Getty’s Website:

Overview of the StoryAn art dealer promoted the sale of a Kouros

to the museum. Two doubts : almost perfectly preserved light-covered glowThe Getty moved cautiously, and took 14

months to investigate the authenticity.A geologist examined it by some scientific

ways and claimed that it’s an ancient work.

Overview of the StoryOpponents Based on …

Federico Zeri Fingernails , “It didn’t look right”

Evelyn Harrison

A hunch

Thomas Hoving

“It was ‘fresh.’”

Georgios Dontas

“I felt as though there was a glass between me and the work.” “intuitive repulsion.”

They have no scientific evidences but they were right.

After a time, the kouros was proved as fake.

1.Fast & Frugal

•A gambling game with a trick to win•How to find out the trick?•How long will it take to figure out?

How? & How long?

Conscious Fast & Frugaltraits •most familiar

•Learning from experience•Needs a lot of information•Coming up with logical answers

•Developing a hunch•Brains reach conclusions unconsciously•Brains send messages via weirdly indirect channels (ex: sweat gland)•they didn’t know why they knew.

how long will it take? (in the experiment)

Slower (after 80 cards)

Faster(It started after 10cards)(a hunch after 50 cards )

Two strategies: (a)conscious strategy (b)Fast & frugal

2.The Internal ComputerAdaptive Unconscious

A kind of giant computer that quickly and quietly processes a lot of the data we need in order to keep functioning as human beings.

Help us react in a sophisticated and efficient manner.

Nalini Ambady’s “teacher rating” experiment:

end-of-the-semester full student evaluations

3 ten-second silent video clips, then five-second clips and then two-second clips . . .

3.A Different and Better World People pay too much attention to grand

themes and too little to the fleeting moment.Will you believe the blink of an eye is as

much value as months of rational analysis?

A flash to make decision

Surprisingly right

Proverb: There is no coincident in the world .

What is intuition?

Product of learning, training and experience

Intuition can be trained

At many times, we have the answer already.

Make use of intuitionSelect useful information

Training unconscious movement

Don’t complicate things

Definition：This makes up your character and one should never try to be anyone else, but themselves.

Research on the first impression affecting the interview

The experiment proves that some kinds of appearance and personality can capture a good first impression which really lets others favor in a fleeting moment.

How does the first impression effect?• An old saying “you never get a second chance to

make a first impression.”

• Depending on appearance, body language, posture…etc

• Be nearly impossible to reverse

• Funny first impression
