Two Guys on Your Head

By: Rebecca McInroy

A classic study found that individuals eat less soup when they have a visual cue of how much they have eaten, thus demonstrating the power of external cues about eating. However, this research, done by Brian Wansink and his colleagues in 2005, was called into question by the lead researcher’s demonstrations of scientific misconduct.

A new research team, led by Alejandra Lopez, has replicated the study and published its findings in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. The team found that the main results hold up.

Yet, as Dr. Art Markman, and Dr. Bob Duke, discuss in this episode of Two Guys on Your Head, that the findings replicate is one thing, but how we interpret and use this information is another story altogether.

Nobel laureate and behavioral psychologist Daniel Kahneman passed away on March 27th, 2024, at the age of 90. Kahneman was not only a giant in the fields of psychology and economics, but as Dr. Art Markman, and Dr. Bob Duke talk about in this episode of Two Guys on Your Head he was also kind, generous, open-minded, and willing to collaborate even with people who disagreed with him. Kanheman’s ideas and research will have a lasting impact on how we understand attention, memory, rationality, and much more, and the example he set as a scientist offers a possibility model for generations to come.

That said, as we explore in this episode of Two Guys on Your Head, with Dr. Art Markman, and Dr. Bob Duke, these hedges and crutches serve a communicative purpose.
