1
Let's begin with a little puzzle.
2
I'm thinking of a rule, and 2, 4, 6 fits it.
3
What's the rule? I suspect you've already got a guess.
4
Hold on to it. We'll come back to it later.
5
In 1960, the psychologist Peter Wason gave volunteers this puzzle.
6
They could test any three numbers and hear yes or no.
7
So they tried 8, 10, 12, then 20, 22, 24. Yes, and yes!
8
Hardly anyone tried a sequence that could prove them wrong.
9
The real rule? Any three numbers that go up!
10
Only about one in five got it right first time.
11
In 1979, researchers at Stanford went a step further.
12
They gathered strong supporters and strong opponents of the death penalty.
13
Everyone read the same two studies, one for and one against.
14
You'd expect mixed evidence to soften their views, wouldn't you?
15
Instead, each side found its own study far more convincing.
16
And both groups left more certain than before!
17
Psychologists call this confirmation bias.
18
We don't test our ideas. We defend them.
19
And here's the uncomfortable part.
20
Being wrong feels exactly like being right — until you find out.
21
Why do we cling so tightly? Part of the answer is biology.
22
In 2016, scientists challenged people's political beliefs inside a brain scanner.
23
Areas linked to emotion and threat became noticeably more active.
24
To your brain, being challenged can feel like being attacked.
25
I learned this the hard way.
26
As a junior analyst, I forecast that our biggest client would grow.
27
For six weeks, I collected every number that agreed with me.
28
A colleague warned me twice. I brushed her off.
29
The client halved its orders, and our whole team paid for it.
30
I wasn't stupid. I was just very busy being right.
31
So before your next big decision, ask one question:
32
What would change my mind?
33
Then run the one test that could prove you wrong.
34
And buy coffee for the friend who always disagrees with you.
35
Thank you.

Zinnen om te herhalen

Korte, volledige zinnen uit de video die je in alledaagse gesprekken kunt gebruiken:

  • Let's begin with a little puzzle.
  • I suspect you've already got a guess.
  • You'd expect mixed evidence to soften their views, wouldn't you?
  • Why do we cling so tightly?
  • What would change my mind?

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 7 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, I'm, wasn't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: psychologist /ˌsaɪˈkɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/, confirmation /ˌkɑn.fəɹˈmeɪ.ʃən/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: scanner /ˈskænə/, analyst /ˈænəlɪst/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, disagree /dɪsəˈɡɹi/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als psychologist, puzzle, soften.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
