Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atran and Norenzayan suggest that minimally counterintuitive ideas, which are ideas that violate some but not too many of our expectations, are more memorable and more likely to persist in our memories. The blinking newspaper is minimally counterintuitive because newspapers don't usually blink, but it's not too far-fetched to imagine a newspaper blinking, so it's a memorable phrase that could stick in the reader's memory. The other phrases have either too many violations of our expectations (e.g. "squealing flowering brick") or not enough violations to be memorable (e.g. "grazing deer").
