  • Lt. Columbo, L.A.P.D. (??????), was a TV
    personality. He was remembered for his
    absent-minded manner and for his punch line
  • Um, theres just one other thing.
  • A series of movie clips from Swan Song, an
    episode first aired during its third season, will
    be shown to demonstrate how Columbo cracked a
    murder case by taking advantage of his legendary
    visual thinking and keen observations.

  • In Swan Song, Johnny Cash guest-stars as a
    country and western singer named Tommy Brown, who
    murdered his wife and a young singer by first
    doping their coffee with barbiturates, and then
    piloted a private plane and deliberately crashed
    it to the ground, after both women had lost their
    consciousness and after he had parachuted to
    safety near the crash site on a mountain.

  • In order to flush out the missing parachute, Lt.
    Columbo leaked to Tommy Brown a police plan to
    search for a missing coffee thermos bottle the
    next morning at the crash site. Columbo was sure
    that, in the evening or late night, Brown would
    retrieve the hidden parachute, which, if found,
    would be more incriminating than the the coffee
    thermos bottle.
  • But Columbo actually witnessed, later the same
    afternoon at the L.A. International airport,
    Tommy Browns departure to San Francesco for a
    concert tour.
  • So, he was perplexed by Browns month-long trip
    to San Francisco, until he invoked his visual
    thinking.

  • The key on the call box reminded Lt. Columbo of
    what he had seen when Tommy Brown was going
    through the metal detector.
  • Lets see it one more time, while we focus our
    attention at the key or keys.
  • We then watch the remaining scenes to know what
    Lt. Columbo had seen and inferred.
  • You will have an opportunity to try out your own
    detective skill, before and after the answer is
    revealed. (Compare the difference).

  • Now, let us watch the airport scene a few more
    times, when we know what we are supposed to see.
  • You will experience how expectation (priming of
    your mind) enhances your ability to recognize a
    vague pattern. That is, having a preconceived
    template, which may fit a certain pattern,
    facilitates recognition of the pattern.

Pattern Recognition ????
  • You would be surprised to find that you actually
    can remember the picture on a single video frame
    upon a single exposure of 0.033 seconds in
    duration!

any man that can sing like that cant be all
bad!
  • It would not be an even-handed treatment, if I
    only show Tommy Brown in a compromising
    situation.
  • People who think in pictures do not think only in
    black and white.
  • Please also enjoy his (Johnny Cashs) music.
  • Remember, enjoyment enhances learning.
