Fromm et al. report that people with psychosis may stick to outdated beliefs due to difficulty processing uncertainty and environmental changes, leading to delusions. A predictive inference task and computational model were used to analyse data. Read at: Neural correlates of uncertainty processing in psychosis spectrum disorder
Or they do it because they’re just not that bright.
I’m absolutely not bright. If you switch off the light at night inside a room without windows, you will find it hard to make out my outlines. Oh. I have grounds for involuntary commitment.
I always adapt to new information. These studies remind of some zany studies done with tax dollars in America where they used tax dollars to see if a ginger bread house could withstand an earthquake and or one where they paid a few million to see how religious people would act if aliens invaded the planet. Interesting snipet article. Good things
Im always open to hearing new things or things that might be anithetical to what i think or believe. But i always approach whatever it may be with intense skepticism. I cant help it. I never ever just beleive something i hear straight away. Especially if its a reel or short video or an article from a disreputable source.
I think that having this way of thinking started with as a way to combat delusions originally. Now i do it to most info i read or hear. Its helped my recovery from multiple episodes of psychosis though for sure.
