Implicit Bias - Coggle Diagram
Implicit Bias
Limbic System
Hippocampus

Learning and memory
memory consolidation
Alzheimer's Disease
Spatial and episodic memory
Amygdala

Unconscious function
Stimuli
information brought to the amygdala
Q - new info
face, sound, smell
K - previous info
in hippocampus, learning, experience, social contact (lifetime)
Output: Behaviour, Emotional Reactivity
Q=K = good
Q=K=bad - SNS activation, fight, flight, freeze
Amygdala has not evolved (highly evolutionarily conserved)
Amygdala (unconscious) response faster than rational (conscious) response
