I've always wanted to know how it feels for students/"experts" of cognitive science how they feel when they realize their limits w r t perceptual speed, discrimination accuracy, working memory capacity etc.
As a student of the field in the late 80s, the most pervasive effect was constantly being forced to realize that "because X is actually Y" is not actually an answer to "why does X seem Y to me?" That is, not just that it's sometimes false, but that whether it's true or not has nothing whatsoever to do with the question I asked.
