The concept of “mental shotgunning”was discussed by the class and was determined to be a term to define the event where more information is processed by the brain than actually necessary in regards to a specific problem or stimulus, and thus resulting in the continuation or prevalence of other problems while simultaneously attempting to solve the intended problem at hand. The term itself can be explained by how a shotgun spreads small amounts of munition in a scattered format, similarly to how executive functions are scattered in regards to how they are solved, with many specialized processes all having a role. The assessment of competence was concluded to be attributed to many different factors, and in itself is an example of mental shotgunning. Factors that contribute to determine competence can vary in how they are determined, with many different factors and environmental aspects playing a role. One notable example was the perception of competence in political candidates, and what qualities were deemed to assume a candidates competence, such as education, background, social skills, as well as subliminal factors such as body language and appearance. | The concept of “mental shotgunning”was discussed by the class and was determined to be a term to define the event where more information is processed by the brain than actually necessary in regards to a specific problem or stimulus, and thus resulting in the continuation or prevalence of other problems while simultaneously attempting to solve the intended problem at hand.
