Chapter 3 in Rethinking Interviewing and Personnel Selection, 2015, pp 35-48 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The previous chapter drew on Gestalt psychology to suggest that one of the reasons for the hold of an intellectual paradigm is that people may be disposed to view the same phenomenon in different ways. This chapter indicates that the hold of a paradigm may also be embedded in ‘the matter of the mind’. It outlines findings from left and right hemispheric brain functioning, which demonstrate that the left hemisphere both can be premise constrained and can ‘confabulate’ or invent its own ‘virtual reality’ while displacing or denying right hemispheric sensing, feeling or intuition that the paradigm is dysfunctional.
