I learned that growing your brain is like growing a muscle once you have worked new complex problems your brain nerve cells multiply and get stronger. To grow your brain correctly, you have practice learning the right way, this means you have to find strategies that help you process the information clearly. Yet you cannot learn the same information constantly this will ruin your brain's way of growing because our brain works like muscles if you keep working on the same weight continually your muscles will not grow. On the other hand, if you push yourself to learn more compacted information the brain will get stronger and what you thought seemed hard will now be effortless. I have also learned that animals can grow their brains just like humans.Scientist conducted an experiment where two animals are separated one of the animals lived in a cage, while the other lived in a complex environment. When the studies were complete it showed that the animal who lived in a complex environment had a greater amount of nerve cells while the other animal had less nerve cells. The experiment showed that as long as humans or …show more content…
I now know that when I have trouble learning a topic all I need to do is find a strategy to make me understand the information clearly. I know that if I want to be successful I need to challenge myself to learn the harder material. This information will give me advantages towards other students considering that I know how to grow my brain properly by effort, good strategies, and help from others. As I pursue my life as a college student the knowledge I have learned will help me move forward toward higher achievements for example a higer education degree, and honors programs. All of this will benifit me when I get a job, and when I fill out my resume because they will see me as a person who studied hard, and has the time and skills to be the best he can
(T) In addition, accepting new and difficult things by using the correct strategies can strengthen the brain. (E) In a new research, You Can Grow Your Brain by Health & Science, it reports that, "...when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger, a lot like the muscles do. You can improve your abilities a lot, as long as you practice and use good strategies." (A) We are training our brain as we learn new things and struggle from it. When we struggle with something, we seek for different methods to try and this helps the brain to change for the better. (E) During my senior year of high school, I was envious of my friends driving to school. I decided to study during summer and I easily passed the written test.
Over the year both positive and negative influences have influenced my learning. The skill I have developed for learning is my aspiration is to become a midwife, this influences my learning in the way that it gives me the hunger to learn new things and improve my knowledge and grades. By improving my knowledge I will be able to go onto the next stage of my development. I believe that if I did not have such a desire to be a midwife, it would affect my learning by creating a mental blockage which would stop my ability to take things in and learn as I would become lazy and not interested from the lack of direction in my life. As soon as I realised what I wanted to do as a career, it really highlighted my priorities and I found that I have
All the study skills that you worked so hard will benefit you in personal and professional life.
According to (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013), the brain begins to mature even before birth and it continues to mature throughout life. According to (Jetha & Segalowitz, 2012) all the brain functions do not mature at the same rate. A child with highly advanced verbal skills may develop gross and fine motor control more slowly and have trouble learning to write clearly (Jetha & Segalowitz, 2012). Learning differences are also related to genetics, temperament and environment (Thierry, 2008). As child born it has a function govern like their heartbeats, eating and sleeping.
To be successful knowing how to learn is important to me. I have come to realize that learning involves everything around me. I believe that I can make sense of learning and I am able to respond to situations correctly with common sense. Common sense is a vital part of understanding the learning definition. Knowing what I think, how I do things, how I feel and talking to my self is a vital part of my learning pattern. Viewing what I wrote in my first week of class and knowing what I know now. I would not change anything. For me to develop a learning pattern I understand I have had to learn. It is a vital requirement of life.
Over the course of these past four years, I’ve learned and figured out that much of what we are being taught will have no use for me in the future. I’ve even had teachers who have told me that. For example, I still have no clue how insurance for your home or car works but I do know how to find the first and second derivative of any given function and give
From Reading module one, I found that there are adults like me who are lifelong learners. Lifelong learners accept challenges as a way to learn something new. That is how I have felt while taking every course my first semester back in college. Improving my information skills will help me with my growth mindset. Having a growth mindset means I'm always looking for ways to learn new things, this means I need to have a great way to look up information and data.
What these brain exercises is it simulates real life cases so as to stimulate the brain. Even when you're asleep, your brain never stop working - but the problem is of course, some parts of the brain are working more than others. The brain exercises stimulate the parts of the brain not normally worked out.
Sometimes, it seems that other students effortlessly understand everything that's put in front of them. That's not the case for me. I try extra hard at everything and try to avoid thinking my obstacles are greater than other students’. I always strive to make sure that I am doing what’s needed to offset my academic weaknesses. I seek help from my teachers and tutors, always spending the extra time needed to perfect my homework. Fortunately, my passion for reading, writing and verbal communications has paid off. While math and science are very hard for me, I’ve been able to build on my interests and do well in English and history.
The participants includes: Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Law, Brain, and Behavior, The US Supreme Court, Harvard's Affective Neuroscience & Development Lab, Leah H. Somerville.The study is about the challenge of defining maturity when the brain never stops changing. It has been a subject of wide debate as to what age the brain fully matures or developed. Some experts in the past claims that the brain may have been done developing at mid or late teens (Mental Health Daily, 2016). Neuroscientists themselves don't know when the brain is a legal adult (fully matures). While the law has to draw a line between adolescence and maturity, ranging globally from 10 to the early 20s, different parts of the brain mature at different rates,
“It’s failure that gives you the proper perspective on success.” Never pictured The transition from middle school to high school would be as vigorous academically as it was. I went from a middle school mentality to blossoming into a young adult. I massively flunked Algebra back in High School at age 15. This was not my most inferior failure, but was an event that left a pit in my confidence. It wholly changed the way I approached my academics and outlook on life in general. New assignments were given to me left and right. I thought I could hold the information given to me quickly enough. My approach was to wing it and try to cram all the information. I was carefree I thought that I can just get through the class without trying as hard. Little
After reading the article “You Can Grow Your Brain”, I noticed that my brain has have grow many times and keeps growing and I did not know about it. It is very impressive how just by learning or practicing things we make our brain get stronger and grow.
From reading “You Can Grow Your Brain” I was able to make a personal connection
First off, who I am as a learner has changed over the past years. At times before, I wouldn’t take certain classes or assignments seriously and have learned my lessons when I failed. I believe having classmates at the time who weren’t as focused as I wanted to be, played a big role in my lack of understanding in classes. I understood later that if I felt learning was so important to me, I need to realize that it is my future and I needed to focus on my own. Having learner in my top 5 strengths defines me very well. Rath (2007) explains that, “The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you” (p.133). I believe this defines me as a learner because I enjoy having books in hand, opening up my notebook to write notes and learning new ways to understand the class. Regardless if the content is something I have to get in to or if I don’t do well on tests, I enjoy the process of studying and learning more even when I know I didn’t do so well; that is what motivates me. I believe as long as I keep this mindset and understand that this is my strength, I will continue to grow and further my education as much as possible. Even though I have failed a few of my last classes, I never let that stop me from continuing. Knowing that I have “failed” makes me realize I know I can do better and I try my hardest not to let it get me down. I will not get further if I don’t keep trying and as a learner I am a motivator to myself in my studies.
Growing your intelligence To be successful you need to practice. the more you practice the smarter you'll get. Practice makes the brain grow, think about it as a muscle the more you exercise the more the muscle grows now apply it to the brain the more you practice the more your knowledge grows so the more you practice the more your knowledge grows. According to the article “you can grow your intelligence: new research shows the brain can be developed like a muscle by carol dweck despite the myth that you were born smart or dumb it says “the brain is more like a muscle it changes and gets stronger when you use it.” it also says that “scientist have been able to show that the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn however people don't know that “when a person learns new things these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.
