Your brain's executive function

 

The good news is that your brain has an executive function which helps manage your limbic system’s needs and fears. It helps you make robust and reasoned decisions and build better working relationships with your colleagues and stakeholders. 


The not so good news is that this executive function tires easily.

Take a look at what happens when the executive function gets tired.

 A study on parole hearings in court rooms found that the biggest factor for determining whether inmates would receive parole was not based on reasoning or facts, but on the time of day that the hearing took place. Prisoners with a morning court hearing were granted parole about 70% of the time. 


 What do you guess is the percentage granted parole if their hearing was late in the day? Select an answer.
