Cognitive Dissidents: 008: Testimony Gained In The Bearing Of It
Manage episode 244426019 series 2509382
Today on the Cognitive Dissidents Podcast we dive into the idea of the “Illusory Effect” which is the idea that the more we repeat, hear, or recall information the more we believe what it is that is being taught. We show how this psychological phenomenon is a tool that religions utilize in getting people to believe something they did not believe to begin with. We use the example in Mormonism of “A Testimony is gained in the bearing of it” to show how this works within religion.
