So I am doing a project on what is called the Bizarness Effect.

The Bizarness Effect states: the more unlikely a situation or fact is, the more likely you are to remember it.

So in other words, if someone tells you that they went to walmart today, you might forget that information.
But if another person runs up to you throws candy at your face, sings a Christmas carol, and gives you a stuffed ham... You are likely to remember it...



Now I need to do a video on this... And its due by tomorrow but I am out of ideas...

It can be either formal or informal...
But I need to showcase that when something is out of the ordinary that you remember it more...

My sister said, get a video of someone doing an extreme sport and failing disastrously and explain why... But idk...

I know politics is not really people's favorite topics, but just with Trump alone compared to the more rational candidates like Kasich, you could draw upon a lot of material very quickly if you are under time constraint.

Other than that your sister's suggestion is pretty good. Could start the video showing some boring golf game with a number of players, then do a video of some skateboarders. Then see whether the class remembers the names of the golfers or the skateboarders more.

Just the thoughts I can think of off the top of my head. Hope you will do well on your project.

have a vid of someone talking to someone about something boring, and saying out loud to themselves later "what were we talking about again?" and while he / she ponders this someone runs up and throws candy at them :p

Perfect :D

Thank you, although I think Carson is the most rational, I love the idea :D

Lol that be good too, but it's fairly late over here in America, he might not have someone to throw candy at this late an hour. Though of course in my opinion it's never too late to throw candy at me, but alas I am miles away.

Kasich or Scott Walker I think make a better contrast to Trump for the point of your project. Carson still kinda sticks out in the field, not to be racist or anything, but pretty much because he's the only black guy. Same with Fiorina being the only woman. I guess though you could use them like as a secondary example if you need to pump up more time. Like do a contrast on Trump vs. Kasich, Walker vs. Carson, and Fiorina vs. Gilmore (from the FOX JV team debate.)

EDIT: or perhaps a medley of all 6 and have the class determine their top 3. You can really play it many different ways to what suits you best.

Just some thoughts. You know the parameters of your project better than I lol.

That's easy. Nothing but blank on a video and then at the end explain that people will remember this as THE video about Bizarness Effect.
