FIRE PREVENTION COURSE REFRESHER HOURS 81/08

14:45 - 16:45

COURSE ROOM 7

PAV. B – LANE B3

Edited by: Istituto INFORMA

We will start with a simple question: When an alarm sounds...what should I do?
We probably all have an answer and if not, it will be easy to find it.
So let's move on to question 2, the most difficult one: "Finding myself in an emergency situation...what will my brain suggest to me?"
We will study the cognitive errors related to our behavior in an emergency to correct them!
We all risk facing a dangerous situation only by relying on our "habits" and our "perception" that could lead us to dangerous errors!
We will then study all the dead times, the useless waiting times...before running away!
The aim is to make participants aware of errors and distractions and to do so we will use illusion!
Professional magic tricks, performed live and subsequently explained, will make us understand how central habit is in our life!
Habit means always behaving in the same way, especially when you are in an emergency situation and you are unable to reason.
Finally, we will study the information that our brain does not process, even though it is evident, even though it has been clearly seen by our eyes. We will then teach students some illusionist tricks to touch "with their hands" the numerous cognitive errors linked to habit.
