Dopamina. Wszyscy jesteśmy od niej uzależnieni. | Robert Górnik | TEDxLublin
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-17 17:32
Core Concept - The report introduces dopamine as a neurotransmitter, not a "happiness hormone," but a molecule of anticipation, driving the desire for more rewards [5][6][8] - It explains how dopamine influences motivation, decision-making, and potentially addictive behaviors [4][12][14] - The report highlights the difference between tonic (sustained) and phasic (spiking) dopamine release, with phasic release leading to a "dopamine roller coaster" effect [16][17][18] Dopamine's Impact - Dopamine is essential for survival, building empires, and civilization, but can also lead to their downfall [5] - Low dopamine levels can cause demotivation, while excessive levels can lead to risky decisions and impulsivity [11][12][13] - The speed of dopamine release determines its pathway in the brain, affecting motivation and reward processing [16] Dopamine Roller Coaster - The "dopamine roller coaster" is triggered by satisfying cravings with sweets, substances, or excessive screen time, leading to a rapid dopamine spike [18][19] - This rapid dopamine release can lead to a preference for "cheap dopamine," causing a lack of concentration and energy depletion [20][21] - Prolonged exposure to this pattern can weaken rational decision-making and long-term planning abilities [23] Counteracting Negative Effects - The report advises against starting the day with "quick dopamine" sources like news and social media [23] - It emphasizes the importance of finding passions that provide sustained motivation and reward [24] - The report encourages awareness of dopamine's manipulative nature and the need to avoid the "dopamine roller coaster" to achieve long-term goals [24][25]

What kids know about motivation (and we don't) | Betsy Blackard | TEDxClaremontGraduateUniversity
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-11 18:00
Core Concept: The Running Leap - The central idea is that children approach challenges like crossing a stream, needing to back up to gain momentum for a successful "running leap" [4][5] - This "backing up" isn't avoidance but a necessary phase for building confidence and preparing for bigger challenges [4][14] - Caregivers should recognize and support this process instead of forcing children into challenges they aren't ready for [10][29] Practical Application - When a child seems to be avoiding a challenge, observe how they are preparing themselves and support their process [10][28] - Acknowledge the child's process to build self-trust and provide them with a tool for future challenges [22][23] - Avoid forcing a child into a leap they aren't ready for, as it can lead to resentment, decreased confidence, and a need for even more extensive backing up [20][21] Intrinsic Motivation - Focus on fostering intrinsic motivation, trusting that children will return to the challenge when they feel ready [18][19] - Children are programmed to succeed and will come back to the challenge when they feel ready [11][19] - If a kid wants something, they'll never give up, no matter how long it takes [19]
