So Where was the Teleprompter?

[FenderTL5]

Could be space lasers. Maybe MTG will investigate.

..in the "peachtree dish?"

 

[A2SG]

Maybe you were looking at your keyboard.

I suppose I saw it when I looked downward, but it didn't give me any suggestions about what to post, so it was no help.

Usually people look upwards when thinking about what to say next.

Some might, others may look downward. Who knows, there may even be some weirdos who look side to side, or slightly backward. You never know.

-- A2SG, just for reference, I checked all those places just now...no suggestions came from any of them....

She's sitting too close to the table for it to be in her lap.

You can tell by this photo, her entire script for the evening was printed on the side of the interviewers coffee cup.

Eye movement is autonomic. There's an actual science involved in analyzing people based on their eye movements.

I noticed throughout Harris' interview with CNN, that she kept looking down; as she was answering the scripted questions; as if she herself was reading a script.

Where do you suppose the teleprompter was hidden from camera view?

Somewhere between the camera and the table.

Cool. Does this science reveal where to find the things to say when you're responding to someone? Cuz I looked everywhere, and I couldn't find any.

-- A2SG, wound up having to figure it all out on my own....

I think it’s more a lack of confidence. A lot was riding on this, and we know she was coached about her cackl…er…laugh.

I've heard that when someone looks up and to the right, they're accessing their memory. When they look up and to the left, they're accessing their imagination ie they're making something up. That's one of many ways based on eye movement, body language and voice inflection a law enforcement interrogator or a trained interviewer can ascertain if someone is telling the truth or lying among other things.

That's also part of eye reading science. Looking down displays lack of confidence, nervousness, embarrassment, they're hiding something etc.

Pretty interesting. So looking down means....?

But, either way, in my case. it didn't matter if I looked up, down, to the right, to the left, or in the direction of Alpha Centauri, in the end, I still had to come up with whatever I needed to say in response all by myself.

-- A2SG, so not sure what any of this proves, but it's interesting nevertheless....

 

[ozso]

Interestingly if you watch face to face intervies her opponent has had, he looks straight forward at the interviewer the entire time, usually always maintaining eye contact.

I already posted what looking down means. What you suppose but don't really know is irrelevant. This is a science. Nonsensical maybe this maybe that scenarios don't apply.

Or just thinking about something. Oh, the horror of a politician who thinks before saying something!

People usually look up when cogitating. Even to the point of tilting their head back.

So it's provable, testable, and reproducible, as science tends to be? So if I look up and to the right, I can access my memory, but if I look up and to the left, I can access my imagination each and every time?

Hmm...

Looking up and to the right didn't do anything, but when I looked up and to the left, I did think about my Uncle Ken, and I hadn't thought about him in ages. Didn't get a story idea from that, though...and none of it seemed applicable to this thread in any event.

-- A2SG, still had to come up with a response all on my own....

Not really. It depends on the individual, as well as their surroundings.

You're correct that there is a science behind eye movements, but the statement that you can basically read someones mind just by the direction their eyes turn veers hard into pseudoscience.

Recent work using the eye movement monitoring technique has demonstrated that when people are engaged in thought they tend to disengage from the external world by blinking or fixating on an empty portion of the visual field, such as a blank wall, or ...

That's a very lengthy article. How did you manage to read and digest the entire thing in the four minute span between my post and your reply?

It's an autonomic reflex.

I actually read it when you first mentioned that eye science stuff a couple of hours ago. Only posted it when I went through it, replying to your latest post. You're welcome.

 

[A2SG]

It's an autonomic reflex.

But it doesn't seem to work each and every time, so it's not very scientific.

Like, for example, when I bang my elbow on a table hard...it hurts. Each and every time. Provable, testable and reproducible.

Maybe different people have different reflexes? Could that be possible?

-- A2SG, still have the backgammon set my Uncle Ken gave me back in high school...dang, looked to the left again....
