At 0:55, the researcher tells her to “pretend like it’s the big one and take it for a ride.” Sort of undermines the whole point of the study when you suggest the behaviour that you intend to “discover.”

Seeing as how the lady SAID "How about you just pretend it's like the BIG room.", I'm not that suprised.

Aw how cute! You can totally see them thinking :-) I wonder if they think they're dreaming for a second! At what stage of a human's life do we understand/perceive our non-physical self?

I wonder if what we are seeing there is not so much as misunderstanding of scale as it is true signs of conformity. The Conditioning of the Human Condition that we are taught from birth and starts to take real grasp from that age on to adulthood. Its obvious those kids can see that the scale is beyond their body capacity, and most but the one REBEL i saw, tried to fit in... not for lack of scale sense... but to appease the adult/authority figure instructing them..?

@tojasonharris And at 2:00, the child asks "where is it?". The researcher replies, "it's right here." The child looks at the miniaturized version of the slide in disbelief and confusion. How was this not caught?

The question is not how to get managers’ emotional commitment but why manager’s don’t give it even if they like their company.

Most managers have plenty of emotional commitment to give to their jobs. If they can be convinced it’s safe and sensible to give it.

I'm a speech therapist... we will never be able to understand how the human brain works... get over it ;) Those results mean nothing to me as well as concerning the kids in my country too of course

This is not the actual study...just a demonstration of it made for tv.
