Memory : Misattribution
Misattribution is a memory problem that becomes more common with age and refers to when you forget where a memory comes from. For example, have you ever started telling someone a joke or story and then had them tell you that they were the ones who told it to you in the first place? This is because the source of that memory was lost or misattributed to someone else.
Older memories are particular prone to being misattributed due to their transience. Sometimes people can even think that something happened to them, when in fact it happened to someone else in the family. This is especially common for older married couples that have heard each other’s stories many times over several years.
One way to help prevent misattribution is to stop and think carefully about a memory when you are recalling it. Try to think about who told it to you, when it happened, who else was there and why this is important to remember. Don’t jump to conclusions. When you are making a new memory, focusing on the details will help you prevent misattribution in the future.

Creativity : Brainstorming
A brainstorm is a meeting where you try to find solutions to a problem. They are frequently conducted in groups in order to get a variety of different perspectives and ideas. To have the best chance at getting different perspectives, choose participants with a range of different backgrounds for the brainstorm (i.e. don’t pick all engineers to solve an engineering problem).
Every brainstorm should have a moderator whose job it is to write down all the ideas and keep the brainstorm on track. Make sure that everyone can see all the ideas as they are written (use a chalkboard or something similar).
To keep the energy of the meeting high, limit each brainstorm to 30 minutes (even if you don’t have a solution by the end of the meeting) and have plenty of cookies, soda, pens, and paper available.

During a 1964 hoax, a Swedish journalist exhibited paintings done by a chimpanzee under the name Pierre Brassau. The journalist was testing whether critics could tell the difference between true avant-garde modern artwork and a chimp’s work. They could not, and in fact, praised the works.

Star Wars Light Saber Illusion
Bummer! I should have posted today’s Star Wars light saber illusion last Friday for Force Friday. Oh well, better late than never, huh? So, here’s a fun image for all of you Star Wars fans!
Looks like The Force is strong in this one. He’s just riding around on his pony with his handy dandy light saber at the ready! Or is he…?
The light saber that the boy is holding isn’t a light saber at all. If you look closely, you can see that his hand doesn’t actually wrap around it. The light saber in this image is just the crack between the barn doors in the background. Light is coming through the top and the bottom half is dark, giving it a Star Wars light saber illusion.
I really thought that this little boy was holding a light saber when I first looked at this image. And, he has a pretty funny surprised look on his face, so that just added to the light saber illusion for me. I mean, it’s not every day that you get to carry around a light saber while riding a horse! I’d be pretty surprised too!
Make sure to take a moment to rate this Star Wars light saber illusion below! Then, head over and check out this Yoda optical illusion and this Star Wars bookends optical illusion!
