Influences: First, current visceral influences have a disproportionately high impact on behavior. This is the reason why alcoholics find it difficult to have just one drink. The taste and smell of the first drink provoke intense motivation.

Second, future visceral influences are seriously undervalued. Promises to use a condom next time are not kept, because the person making the promise doesn’t appreciate the “heat” of the future moment.

Third, people cannot reproduce visceral sensations when trying to recall them. People can remember the instances during which the sensations were experienced, but the sensation itself is difficult to recreate. This is one reason why compliance with medication regimens is generally poor. After the pain subsides, people cannot recall with high fidelity the sensation that motivated them to take their medicine. Without the impetus of the visceral sensation, the patient loses interest in completing the prescription. Also, with limited ability to recreate visceral sensations, we are in a difficult position either to plan for their re-occurrence or make sense of our prior behavior while under their grip.
Sounds Like: Sounds Like

Sometimes a word sounds as though it contains another familiar word:

* There is no cocoa in a coconut.
* Bated breath has nothing to do with bait.

* Corridor is not related to door.
* Sacrilege has the i first and the e second, unlike religion.
* Abseiling is quite different from sailing.
