It can be a powerful place of "other lobe" activity including that rush of dopamine you mention when one feels they made a contribution to the class. -Jim Jungyo, I agree that some of the same social dynamics of over bidding also are happening in the classroom directly.

What I took from this article in plain, simple terms, is that people- when in the presence of others- react differently than when they are alone. With this basic idea and the other info from your blog, I was reassured of the notion that class participation in an education setting is incredibly important. When a student raises his/her hand to ask a question or make a comment, he/she is in the spotlight, open to the other students' and the instructor's scrutiny (positive or negative). Here, that student goes through an "experiential learning moment," whether the experience remains a positive or a negative one. I would just hope that the instructor knows how to act and react when a student participates- even if what that students contributes to the class is a digression, or "irrelevant." What I take from the knowledge you gave me through this blog- is that if and when I do teach students in a college setting, or when I'm simply having a tutoring session with friends- I would advocate confidence for participating in discussions. I know for a fact that it can sometimes be nervewrecking to make a comment, but I also know that once it's done, I feel a rush of "adrenaline"- and/or dopamine. Even if I happened to go off on a tangent, there have been instructors who had memorably appreciated that too. Raph, Jim- I found this fascinating.
