I see on here quite a bit that people are annoyed with Tim Gearty’s repeated use of the word “again”. The funny thing is that I barely noticed until other people mentioned it — now I can’t get it out of my head!

Yes it’s annoying and people think he just has speaking issues, but maybe it’s by design. In psychology and neuro-linguistic programming there is a concept called “anchoring”:

Quote:

How does NLP anchoring work? (

Ever heard of Russian physiologist & psychologist Ivan Pavlov? He is most well known for his findings on human and animal conditioning. While doing a research on dogs’ digestion, he discovered this phenomenon. When it came to meal time, Pavlov would use bells to call his dogs to the food. After repeating this numerous times, he found that even without any food, the dogs would salivate from hearing the sound of the bell.

By doing so, Pavlov associated the ringing sound of the bell to food. And the numerous repetitions have conditioned the dogs to respond to the ringing bell just like how they respond to food.

This is how NLP anchoring works. By conditioning responses to unique NLP anchors, we are able to deliberately get into specific states just by triggering the unique NLP anchor. Just like Pavlov’s dogs.

So NLP anchors are really a stimulus for us to get into whatever states we want. Similarly as Pavlov uses the ringing bell sound to act as a stimulus, with NLP anchoring, we can set certain anchors to act as the stimulus to certain states. And after many repetitions, the association between the NLP anchor and the state will be conditioned.

[…]

Number of repetitions – Naturally the more repetitions you make, the more conditioned the anchor becomes. So make sure you do enough repetitions to make it conditioned.

I can’t help but wonder. He comes off as a really bright guy; I find it hard to believe that it’s because his vocabulary is limited. Thoughts?

Lol. I've had this handle since March of 2012, though it looks like you beat me by 5 months or so. I didn't steal it from you, though, I promise. 🙂 You know what they say about great minds!

I don't think I'd ever pass FAR again… I was stunned when I passed it once.

Now, AUD on the other hand… I've got a shot. A good shot, even. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, though. Let's make our names be super meaningful this quarter. Good luck!!
