Whole brain super learning ability

Chapter 2 Introduction: Whole Brain Super Learning Ability (2)
A famous psychologist once did an interesting experiment: he kept chimpanzees in a cage with meat hanging from it.If chimpanzees want to get meat, they must use wooden sticks to fetch it.He fed chimpanzees who had been starved for 2, 6, 12, 24, and 36 hours.The results show that those who are hungry for a short time have weak appetite, are easily disturbed by irrelevant things around them, are absent-minded, and often cannot complete the feeding action; Even if they took it, they couldn't get the meat; only those who were hungry and resourceful, had a strong appetite, and couldn't forget to take the stick, so they successfully completed the action of taking the meat.According to this principle, we can clearly realize that people who lack learning motivation will not be good no matter how much time they use or the learning efficiency per unit of time, and naturally learn poorly; people who are too motivated to learn Psychologically, due to excessive pressure, especially when taking important student exams, I think that if I fail to pass the exam, I will not be able to live. In this way, when encountering a difficult problem, what is in my mind is not how to do a good job, but worrying about how to do it if I fail to pass the exam. However, it turned out that what could have been done right was also done incorrectly, so how could the level be tested?
Therefore, it is very important to set learning goals of moderate difficulty.The so-called moderately difficult learning goals refer to the goals that students can achieve through hard work.So when you set this goal, you should consider the following factors:

1. What talents and abilities do I have?

2. What are the ways to achieve my goal?
3. In the process of achieving the goal, what kind of difficulties will I encounter, and do I have the ability to overcome these difficulties?

4. What does success mean in my pursuit of my goals?What does failure mean?
5. Do I have enough courage and perseverance in the process of achieving my goals?

Only when you carefully consider these factors can you formulate goals that are suitable for you and can be realistically achieved.

Second, interest is the best teacher.

Einstein said: "Interests and hobbies are the best teachers." Interests and hobbies are the driving force for learning, and it can make people forget to eat and sleep.On the contrary, if you are not interested in knowledge and science, and regard learning as a burden and a hardship, of course there will be no good learning effect.Darwin was interested in why the stars shine when he was 7 years old.It is these strong interests and persistent pursuits that have enabled them to achieve great success in science.

Interest in learning promotes success in learning, and success in learning will increase interest in learning, which is a virtuous circle; on the contrary, if you are bored with learning, you will fail in learning, and failure in learning will aggravate the feeling of boredom in learning, forming a vicious circle.A person who is good at learning should be a person who is good at cultivating his own interest in learning.So how can we maintain a strong interest in learning?

1. Do not only do what you are interested in, but do everything you should do with interest;
2. Self-confidence is the motivation to increase interest in learning;
3. Ask yourself "why";
4. Properly participate in learning competitions according to their own abilities;
5. Affirm the progress you have made in your studies.

Third, what is ambition as a major factor in learning motivation?

It is by no means simply accepting what is.At the age of 20, Alexander the Great inherited from his father a well-armed army led by several valiant generals.Had he been content to accept, that army might have fallen into the hands of those generals in no time.Those who have a future job already planned, or who have a position in their father's company, often feel that school is a waste of time.They are idling and waiting, and when they get the position, they will soon lose it to those who are really ambitious, hardworking and upward.

Learning needs to be motivated by genuine ambition, which, like other components of motivation, can be measured in concrete ways.Ambitions are your personal property, and only you know what your aspirations are, and only you can add to them, and paint them with the pen of your imagination into a beautiful picture of your abilities.

Make a list of various ambitions that relate to your studies.Also, list other factors related to your ambition:

1. What kind of learning ability do I have?
2. How do my ambitions require me to act in my studies?

3. What knowledge do I need to learn in the career I am going to choose?
4. What does failure mean?
5. Am I giving my life and time the value it deserves?
6. Can my study give me enough inspiration and courage to save me from mediocrity?

We could go on to explain the other elements of motivation, but you should see that we have now come full circle and come back to the human endowment for learning described at the beginning of this book.Therefore, the only way to understand the meaning of learning motivation is to understand one's own learning talents and abilities, and to understand the methods of developing and utilizing these talents and abilities.

"Don't stand if you can walk, don't walk if you can run, don't run if you can fly."

So what exactly is motivation, and where does the motivation to learn come from?Answering this question is as difficult as judging the direction of the wind at night by only listening to the sound of the wind blowing from distant mountains.You'll never know until you find your own answers to what motivation is.Time and history are inescapable.If you don't use your gifted learning, time will close many doors to the corridors of opportunity.You will be turned away and never enter this corridor.When you turn your head and try to go back the same way, you will find that history is staring at you, making you in debt for your waste.You ask, "But what am I wasting?"

History replied, "You've wasted your gift of learning."

There must be a way to learn
The era of knowledge economy is the era of knowledge heroes.In this era full of opportunities and challenges, the reason why knowledge heroes become the great men of the era is that they are the most energetic and energetic people in this era, and they have superior intelligence.

Superior intelligence undoubtedly comes from the reflection of the brain on the objective world, and learning is the most important way to connect the objective and the subjective.Intelligence is earned by learning, and learning is based on the brain.Learning is the mining of brain gold mines.

Intelligence is a comprehensive psychological characteristic that is relatively stable in the process of cognition, can ensure cognitive activities and exert the cognitive function of the brain.Its specific manifestations are attention, memory, thinking, imagination, creativity, etc., which are organically combined.

From a physiological perspective, intelligence is the expression of brain function.The brain has four functional areas: the perception area for receiving external information; the storage area for processing and sorting out feelings; the thinking and judgment area for evaluating stored information; and the imagination area for combining various information with new thinking.These functions play unique roles in various cognitive activities.Generally speaking, people generally have the ability of intellectual activities, and at the same time, everyone has unlimited potential.

In the 21st century when life science, natural science, and social science are called the world's three major sciences, the research on human brain must be frontier and cutting-edge.All countries in the world are competing fiercely, trying to occupy the commanding heights.

With the integration of international economy, our country is in line with international standards in many aspects.Naturally, in brain science, which is crucial to talents, we should advance bravely and be in line with international standards. This is the real integration, instead of blindly pursuing non-mainstream integration. Otherwise, when many of our branches are in line, others will The fundamental scientific research and application of brain energy have been several years ahead, so we can only follow others forever, thus entering a strange circle.Therefore, we must meet the "head" to catch up!
In the traditional sense, people's understanding and mastery of learning is a behavior that is instilled by teachers and passively accepted by students.In fact, learning is a kind of activity that emphasizes the development and potential stimulation of the brain actively.The relationship between learning and brain research in life sciences is extremely close. The two are combined into one, that is to say, the research and exploration of the brain and learning methods lead to the same goal. They are all for the better use of the brain, better and more Learning faster and more effectively is a fundamental strategy to improve people's intelligence and ability, so as to grasp knowledge, further strengthen competitiveness, and grasp life.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.If you don't understand the brain you use for learning, and you don't understand the knowledge objects you learn, isn't it strange that you can win the battle in this way? !Therefore, "know yourself", the motto of the Temple of Apollo in ancient Greece, is still relevant today.As the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates said: "The person who really knows himself is the most powerful person."

The essence of learning is to improve people's wisdom, so the ultimate goal is to master knowledge, innovate, transform society, and promote the development of human civilization and society.

The implications of research on the brain and learning are:

How to make the brain more intelligent, stand out in the fiercely competitive society, and win the paper with confidence;
How to make quick thinking, full of imagination and creativity, unique ingenuity, surprise victory;
How can we capture useful and substantive information in the tide of knowledge and store it in memory so that we can make full use of it;
How can we be persuasive and seductive in children's education, seize the opportunity, win at the starting line, and then progress smoothly all the way;
How to use the most effective means to obtain the most effective results in the learning of young people, so as to make learning faster, better, more effective and more excellent;

How can we give full play to the energy of the brain in the career of the prime of life, make contributions, and win by superiority;

How to keep the brain in the best operating condition, make the brain more flexible and stronger with age...

Learning ability is not only the basic competitiveness of people in the 21st century, but also the overall competitiveness and core competitiveness.Competition is the eternal theme of human beings.Learning ability determines people's competitiveness, innovation ability, development ability, success ability and so on.

Knowledge is not omnipotent, it does not equal intelligence, and naturally it does not equal power.Only by transforming knowledge into intelligence can it become the power of creation.Any great person is a genius who is good at learning, surpassing and innovating.The excellent methods make them the outstanding great men of the times. Without the achievements created by these methods, what would they be and what would they be?

The advantages and disadvantages of learning methods lead to great differences in the quality and effect of learning; at the same time, even the same learning method will have different effects on different people.So there is a way to learn, but there is no fixed way to learn.Successful learning is by no means simply accumulating knowledge, but a breakthrough in learning, because knowledge accumulation is only a quantitative change, and a method breakthrough can bring about a qualitative leap.The dialectical relationship between method and success not only conforms to scientific laws, but also conforms to actual needs. At the same time, it varies from person to person and suits the personality characteristics of individual learners.

Creating a complete whole-brain learning system is a complex systematic project of mental structure and transformation, involving many specialized disciplines such as psychology, pedagogy, talent studies, success studies, and brain science. "There are many thought-provoking insights in the book, which are worthy of our further discussion.Just as there is no limit to human scientific research and human pursuit of truth, so too is the path I want to take.I will continue to go on as always, just like the widely circulated prose verse I wrote in the epic "Aorta of Life": "Let the soul and the horizon keep the vertical in the endeavor!"
