It describes his research done with Carleton Cognitive Science Ph.D. student Jay Jennings on how our minds use two different ideas of how objects move in the world&#8211;one for what we think, and another for how we act. People tend to think (incorrectly) that a ball emerging from a curved tube will continue to travel in a curved path, but when they try to actually catch the ball, they don\u2019t make the same error. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/blog\/the-science-imagination\/201709\/how-we-can-catch-ball-when-we-dont-know-where-it-will-be\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Davies, of Carleton University\u2019s Institute of Cognitive Science and School of Computer Science, has a post on the Psychology Today blog that was selected as an essential topic.
