Memory Improvement, Accelerated Learning and Brain Training - John Adams
Introduction – Know Your Brain
Have you ever felt the fascination of reading printed words?
Not so fascinating? It is if you think about the million other things that happen at the same time in your body.
While you comprehend the written words, your heart keeps on beating, and you can feel the air on your skin. Your eyes know when to blink, and your lungs keep on breathing for you.
There is one headquarter where all of it is controlled at once.
That headquarter is your brain.
Your brain gives the needed rhythm to your heart, controls the temperature, and does a billion other things. In addition, you can read and remember what you have read too.
Every activity, which you can or cannot control, is managed by your brain. That is why your brain does not sleep. Even when you are in your bed giving yourself a good night's sleep, your mind keeps on working. Your brain helps you get a sound sleep. Shutting down unnecessary activities, repairing cells and keeping the crucial events in check. These are a few of many jobs your brain does when you go to sleep.
How Does Your Brain Work?
Your brain has three major areas:
• Cerebrum
• Cerebellum
• Brain Stem
The most significant part of your brain, with two left and right divisions, is called cerebrum. This part of your mind controls your thinking ability, language comprehension, eating, memories, senses, drinking, body temperature, sleeping, and hormones.
Inside the cerebrum, you have your cerebellum, which is not more than a pear in size. But the job of this section is vital. Your muscle movements are managed here. In addition, your ability to coordinate your body functions also comes from here.
Your brain has its extension to your body through the spinal cord, which makes the complete nervous system of your body. Neurons in your brain are 100 billion, creating a vast network in your whole body.
How Do We Learn Things?
Learning is how any living organism survives. We, as humans, have enhanced learning abilities in the living kingdom, so improved that we have not even understood it all yet. Our genetics and surroundings decide what we learn and how fast we can learn those things.
For example, if you read a chapter of your book every day, eventually your brain will adapt to this activity. Your reading ability will improve, and you will start remembering most sentences of that chapter.
Similarly, a worker, who has to attach the right information label to the right product, gets efficient with his or her work with practice. It all happens due to our brain’s ability to learn and adapt to new things.
There is no doubt that learning is the most critical skill your brain offers. You can improve your verbal intelligence, enhance your working memory, learn new languages and do more; all because your mind lets you do so.
Every time you stretch your abilities, your brain network changes substantially to help you adapt. That is why something that seems impossible becomes more straightforward day-by-day. Moreover, eventually, you get comfortably efficient in doing that activity.
At the beginning of learning something new, your brain has to put an effort to concentrate and control. Practice trains your mind to adjust networks on a large scale. Therefore, with time, the effortful activity of the brain reduces, and the new system manages the operation on its own. That is how things get simple to remember, and actions get more comfortable for you. That is the process of how your brain reaches the automated level of skill. The brain activity enhances every time you practice something, which tends to improve the effortlessness.
Let us dive into the technicality of learning things.
Practicing an activity increases a synapse’s strength in your brain. Two neurons keep being activated repeatedly. That creates a permanent link between those two neurons. This process is known as long-term potentiation. Because of this process, every time, the first of the two neurons is activated, it automatically activates the second one.
Researches on rats have shown that learning new things also increases the size of the brain. New protrusions, known as dendritic spines, get larger to help a rat find food through a tunnel during experiments.
Briefly, our brain develops more neuron connections, we learn more, and that learning becomes permanent information stored in our brain network. We have to think less when remembering or doing something.
Can We Enhance Our Learning Abilities?
Believe in yourself
- you must have heard that a thousand times from your peers, your parents, and teachers. How about you modify this and make it-
Believe in your brain.
Your brain can learn anything and become a master of that skill. From understanding complex data every day, to memorizing a long list of formulas for exams, you can do it all. Just put your faith in the brain and neuron network it has up there in your head.
The science of how the brain learns is all about facts, so you can believe in that and give yourself a chance to learn anything you like. Nevertheless, it is not only related to understanding the scientific concepts, but it is also linked to applying that science to lets your brain learn efficiently.
There is an external process as well as an internal process of learning. The external means such as training, guides, tutorials, and others help you begin the learning process. These are great during the initial phase, but you have to go beyond and allow your brain to practice internally. If you are getting information without practicing to solve tasks or problems, it will not help. Your mind requires actual tasks to practice and build strong neuron networks. Therefore, you need to ACTUALLY do it and fail a thousand times to become a master.
Using failure for productivity
You must have heard this a thousand times - experiencing failure and overcoming it makes you stronger. If that is true, you can utilize failure to improve your productivity.
For example, a university student can work on math problems, without understanding the concepts in the first place. The student can look at the question first, then, analyze the ideas to find out a way to reach the right answer. However, getting the correct answer is not the ultimate goal here. This approach helps in finding out new ideas about the problem. It is also possible to find a new way of solving that question. The work approach for such types of questions will become more comfortable for the student. Hence, it will enhance productivity. That is how you utilize failure for productivity.
Similarly, suppose you have a new machine you need to work on, which comes with a user manual. Instead of using the instructions, you can figure out the functions on your own. You will try to fail, but a personal quest for the right solution stays in your mind for a long time. You sustainably learn things.
Another important thing about learning ability is the period you choose. Most people tend to involve too much in their learning process, once they get a grip of their concentration. However, an obsessive approach to learning only gives you a temporary solution.
To learn and retain knowledge, you should focus on choosing a longer period of learning. Spreading the learning process allows your brain to form long-term networks of neurons. Students of every age utilize this approach without even knowing it. The habits of revising chapters, quizzing and other methods are popular to learn and retain knowledge. Just distribute this approach within a long period, and you can enhance your learning ability.
The science behind distributed learning is pure. You give sensations to similar neuron networks from time to time by practicing something. Your brain receives stimulations in small and short sessions, which is why the process of skill development and learning becomes more comfortable. Therefore, instead of giving 4 hours to a project in one day, you can give 15 to 20 minutes every day and master it in a week.
Your senses and learning
Experiences become memories, and every thought in your body gives you a unique ability to experience things. Your eyes give the experience of sight, your ears let you experience hearing, the skin gives a background of touch, and you smell with your nose and taste with your tongue.
Think about it, if you once sip a very hot coffee, your brain stores that experience as a memory. So, when the next time you are about to have a sip, your brain tells you to be cautious. That is how your senses assist in creating a memory, which becomes learning. The more feelings are involved in an experience, the better the mind it creates. That is why
