Question

give a personal example for Insight, overconfidence,framing

Answer 1

Personal examples for,

1. Insight learning

Insight learning happens suddenly without any trial and error method, it is an 'aha' moment when you suddenly find the solution for the problem which is unsolved for sometime.

Example: When I was reaching for a book which was kept in the highest place of the cupboard. I was reaching for that book for some time by jumping and reaching it with a stick. Then I suddenly realized that there was a chair placed around the corner of the room, 'It was an aha moment" when I suddenly found a solution, how to reach and take that book. This was an Insight learning for me.

2. Over confidence

Over confidence is the state of a person were he used to be very sure about the result or its fact but at the end finding that the reality was different from what result or fact we thought. And over confidence proved that our assumptions are wrong.

Example: When my professor was asking questions in our class after completing a lecture on psychoanalysis to students who was seated randomly in the class. I was very sure that she will skip me, she will not ask me questions believing that I was attentive in class and answered some questions when she was taking that lecture itself. But I was the first person she pointed out in the class and asked me a complex question which I didn't listen to while she was explaining. during the class. It became a laughing factor for my friends as they won and my over confidence lost.

3. Framing

Framing is a fact that we have been framed in positives and negatives state. How we perceive it the situation matters.

Example: I was experiencing a terrible back pain for 6 months. Initially it was said that there was a light rupture in the bone and it is treatable but after a MRI scan we found a dislocation of disc in my hip bones. I went for an physiotherapy consultation with so much fear of pain and was not ready for the therapy because I felt that the recovery chances are low. But the therapist framed the treatment process in a way that I would get rid of my fear and gave my consent for the therapy. He stated that, As i was young there are 95% chances of recovery which gave me a cognitive satisfaction (reassurance) that I would recover fully but there was also a fact that there are 5% chances of failure, were I would not be recovered. The framing of the treatment by the therapist made me give my consent for the treatment.
