HOW TO LEARN

How the brain works?


2 modes of thinking
Focused- concentrate intently
Diffused-????
More relaxed thinking
Analogy of pinball game.

Thought  Familiar thought pattern


Thought moves smoothly,

Thoughts New ideas, new problem


New pattern ????
How to get new thought pattern.
Develop new thought pattern, blocks in focused mode

Diffused pattern, blocks are spaced far


U can see in a big picture, broad , go any where different patterns

U can be only in 1 mode.

Salvador  painter wild and crazy guy


Surreal paintings
Rest in his chair, holding keys in hand diffuse mode
Diffuse mode
Relaxing mode

Edisonholds ball bearings


Rest in chair and slip in dreams
Ball bearings fall and focused mode

Diffused mode and focused mode


Going back and forth
Successful.

To build neural structure,


Little work every day and that’s the trick.
Metaphors provide powerful techniques for learning
Learning difficult things take time,

What is learning??
Introduce to brain.
3 pounds, 10 times more energy, complex device, fears, emotions etc….
Chess, maths takes years to learn.
Seeing, hearing, learning, running etc.. complex for machines.
Consciousness
Brain imaging techniques,
Resting some parts are active
Focusedsome other parts are active.
When you learn something new, your brain neurons form new connections (new
synapses are formed), structure is changed.

We need to shift from focused mode to diffused mode,

Brain shifts your focus, when you do or see some thing painful to your mind. But if you
start doing it, then after some time the pain will go (neural discomfort is gone).

Pomodaro principle,
Set a timer for 25 minutes, focus intently, then take a break of 5 minutes. Go to diffuse
mode (meditating/breathing/ )
Repeat the principle, until u get your work done.

Math is a abstract concept, learning it is difficult (imagination is required).


So, more practice is required for it to form neuron thought band (thought process).

We need to learn little a day, it forms a good foundation and forms organised memory
and regaining is easy.
If we cram a lot of things a day, we will not be able to remember it properly.

Long term memory


Working memory
They are related.
U bring from long term

Working memory is part of memory that has to do with what you're immediately and
consciously processing in your mind.
Working memory is cantered out at pre-frontal cortex.
Working memory holds about 4 chunks.

Working memory blackboard


Repetition
Short term memory inefficient black board
Long term memory storage house.
U need to visit a lot of times long term.
Practice a lot of times, repeat a lot of times.

Working  long term (a lot of time)

Spaced time technique  revisiting memory in a spaced time interval.


Extending practice

Repeating same thing over several times in a day is waste, we need to repeat same thing
over several days for long term memory.
Time for synaptic connections, we need to give some time for mortar between bricks to
strengthen i.e., synaptic connections get strong and remembering it after a time will be
easy.

Sleep is necessary.
When brain is awake, it develops toxins in between brain cells.
When you sleep, brain cells shrink and toxins flush out along with the fluid between
them.

When you sleep, you give time for brain to strengthen the neural connections, so it can
go long term.
It also finds solution for problems, by associating with various parts of brain to find
solution.

When you write an exam with no sleep, these toxins in brain are in an increased level
and creates problems remembering.

Interview
1. Exercise like jogging gets him to diffused mode and gives him ideas.
2. Multi tasking can be learnt by practicing.
3. Social meetings increases brain activity than being alone.
4. Talking to creative people increases your own creativity.
5. Smart people are not always successful, passionate people who can go any extent
to get things done and never accept failure and doesn’t feel dejected at setbacks
and always keeps on trying are people who gets success.
6. Something’s are always in front of our eyes, you need a new set of eyes (different
perspective) to know it.
7. Being engaged and little interruptions make boring things little interesting.
Chunking
New concept  no sense.
Big picture into scrambled pieces not knowing which piece where,
Making in to pieces
Understanding the chunk is easier and fitting it into big picture is easy.

Working memory octopus with four tentacles bringing memories from long term to
working brain.
It is different from diffuse mode.
