But people at your table may not have noticed, much less anyone else."

To influence your perception, cognition, behavior, and dreams.

"After a long stretch of GTA, when you drive around,

You just want to smash your car into pedestrians for points."

3. “Semantic satiation” In Psychology

This is a phenomenon whereby the uninterrupted repetition of a word

Eventually leads to a sense that the word has lost its meaning.

"If we pronounce a word over and over again, without pause, then the word is felt to lose meaning."

4. The “Pygmalion effect” In Psychology

High expectations lead to improved performance in a given area.

"Imagine a teacher has high expectations of someone.

That has been proven true even when the person with the expectations tries their best to hide it."

5. The "Diderot Effect" In Psychology

It tells us that your life is only going to have more things fighting to get in it,

So you need to understand how to curate, eliminate, and focus on the things that matter.

"You buy a new dress and now you have to get shoes to match!"

6. The "Halo effect"

Halo effect is the tendency for positive impressions of something in one area,

To positively influence one's feelings in other areas.

"We make judgments about products advertised on social media

Why do you think celebrities are hired to endorse products?"

7. The "Bandwagon effect" In Psychology

The more people who use the service or product will increase,

the more satisfaction of the users grows.

“Everyone is getting the new smartphone that’s coming out this weekend,

you have to get it too!”

"Have you ever found yourself thinking,

What would happen next in your favorite TV show or film series?"

10. "Anchoring" In Psychology

It is a cognitive bias to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered when making decisions.

"Every time you see a discount with “$90 $50″,
the $90 is the price anchor for the $50 sales price."
