Well, after you hit that ball, that event was set in history, and we cannot change the past right? WRONG!<\/strong> Historical probability shifting can happen, and therefore, someone in the present can alter the past. In this case, you may have hit that ball in the infield, but after you hit the ball you can shift that event to hitting it into the outfield, striking out, or hitting a foul ball.<\/p>\n Then, a computer selected some of the words at random and the students were asked to practice those words by typing them over and over again.<\/p>\n The result of this study was that the words the computer choose at random, the practice words, were recalled more than the words the computer did not select in the surprise recall test.<\/p>\n So don\u2019t worry if it doesn\u2019t make any sense now, it probably never will entirely, but we will talk about this more later on in this course just to give you a better understanding of what may be going on.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OUTPUT – HISTORICAL SHIFTING Historical shifting.

<\/a>This weird effect can be better understood in a study where students were given a list of words<\/strong> to remember and then given a surprise recall test to list the words they remembered.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cSo wait, let me get this straight, if I take a test in school and didn\u2019t study well enough for it and think I might get a bad grade, I can just go home and study for it and I\u2019ll get a better grade?\u201d<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Since effects like this (retro-active or retro-casual<\/strong> priming and reversed rehearsal) are fairly new topics, and we don\u2019t yet entirely understand them and how they work yet.<\/p>\n<< Back to Class Directory<\/a><\/h3>\n
