INSIGHT

Priming Makes Memories More Accessible

  • Vivid descriptions pull related memories into someone's mind and make those memories more accessible later.
  • Chase Hughes calls this priming and uses it to steer attention and identity covertly.
ADVICE

Use Embedded Commands Carefully

  • Use embedded commands: make the command a standalone sentence, lower your tone on it, then quickly return to the main topic.
  • Pause before and after the embedded sentence to let the unconscious register it more strongly.
ADVICE

  • To make someone feel an idea is theirs, arrange two pieces of data close enough for them to connect and feel clever.
  • Make them feel clever, not just smart, so they believe the idea came from them.
