Rather interesting video about how knowledge of appropriate behaviour isn't enough to actually do it, and the neurological component of why this happens. Here the speaker looks at it in a context of behaving in a socially acceptable way and how damage to the frontal lobe (sometimes through ageing) restricts this. I bet this is also why old people often prattle on about irrelevant trivia as though it were fascinating.
I was particularly interested in the end of the talk which describes the correlation of reversal learning (where changing reactions to a situation can be identified) with intelligence and acceptable behaviour. People with low reversal learning abilities tend to be bad at getting along with others, such that if they have a high IQ they tend to be even more annoying rather than less. Interesting connections to the difference between knowledge and wisdom, though I suppose this might be limited only to social intelligence/behaviour rather than more generally applicable.
No transcript of this one as far as I could tel..
