Our brains can’t waste energy recording everything in detail.
a) True
b) False
My answer is False, am I right?
I agree. Your brain is like a hungry sponge and needs to constantly absorb information, and I think this applies to it. I don't think wasting "brain energy" is a problem since the brain uses representations and known examples to easily 'record' things.
Nonsense.
There are people who disagree though, but this is what I think!
Hmmm -- do you suppose you ought to see what your text author thinks??
The answer seems to be True!
The correct answer is b) False.
Our brains are capable of processing and storing vast amounts of information, although not every single detail may be recorded or recalled with perfect accuracy. Our brains have the ability to selectively pay attention and remember information that is deemed important or relevant for various reasons, such as survival, learning, problem-solving, and memory consolidation. However, it is true that our brains do prioritize and filter information to avoid overwhelming our cognitive processes with unnecessary details.
