Logic and the Mind

While preparing for today's test, I found that every slide I looked over made perfect sense to me. Maybe it's because I've been studying for so long, but it may also be due to flawed logic. As every student can verify, there are some days, weeks even, when material is understood in class, yet when it comes time to do an assignment or take a test, the information just cannot be recalled. Logic through a computer, unless in the case of hardware failure, is sound and consistent; whereas human logic is influenced by many outside factors. In testing situations or any otherwise stressful period, the logical drive of the human mind may skip a step here or there, resulting in an illogical conclusion. I have just proven my own point by losing sight of what I meant to say in this SLOG entry and will end it on this high note.
