Thoughts

Partial ExperiencesInstinct uses S & E together.Thought is not required andinstinctive actions are FAST,but unrefined. Fight or flight.

Using S & T alonecauses analysis-

paralysis without thechance to make a

decision. Actions areslow and over-

thought.

E & T alone is thebasis of a learnedresponse. Actions

are based on amemory of what is

supposed tohappen in a given

situation.

Fight or flight is bestreserved for life-

threatening situations.

Actions are based onlearned queues from

past experiences.
