This podcast is based on Dr. Markus’s article in Psychology Today, "Why Can’t We See Eye-to-Eye?" which explores the use of neurocognitive exercises, specifically visual analogies, as a non-threatening method for improving communication. These exercises help individuals identify and understand their own thought processes and how their mental models impact their perception of information. The article uses the example of a visual puzzle to illustrate how analyzing differences and applying rules can lead to a better understanding of various perspectives.
