Brain Development & Learning - The brain's efficiency increases with repetition, transforming connection jungles into neuronal superhighways [8] - Interest is learning's superpower, driving repetition and making practice easier [10][11] - Brains are uniquely sculpted by individual interests and experiences [12] - Neuroscience indicates the benefits of interest-driven deep learning for robust brains [21] Educational Implications - Traditional, teacher-led schools may lead to different brain development compared to student-led, interest-driven schools [19][20] - Student-led, interest-driven schools are associated with greater neuronal stability, network integration, creativity, attention, self-regulation, and social interaction [18][20] - Educators should be flexible with timelines, encourage repetition, and foster student interests to optimize learning [22] Cognitive Load & Brain Function - Learning involves a heavy cognitive load, requiring significant brain resources [2] - The brain prunes unnecessary connections to create shortcuts and improve efficiency [6] - Brains are constantly learning and changing, even rapidly [7]

President Barack Obama, he had 30 of the same suits. Why. Just because you're busy, it doesn't mean you're being productive.Your brain, your cognitive load is like a bathtub. If you have a bathtub, the bathtub can only hold so much water. If you keep wooding water, it's going to overflow.That's your cognitive load. It's the same thing when you put stuff in there. I'm going to add more stuff and more stuff and more stuff.Your cognitive load is overflowing. It's maxed. You're inefficient. You're sloppy. You'r ...

Thank you very much everyone. So I'm Dr. . Luchana Blaha and I'm a young millennial with three chronic health conditions, one of which is telling bad jokes.So work life can be quite tough sometimes, but it can also be fun. And I want to talk to you about that today. I'm not going to give you the ABCs, but the CCC's of handling the future workplace if possible.Things have changed a bit from the '9s, but as a young millennial, I'm not that far off from Gen Zed. We've seen transition from people in power, some ...

Aging Simulation Experience - The industry is exploring the physical challenges of aging through age simulation suits, including replicating muscle loss, impaired mobility, vision impairment, and balance issues [1] - Completing daily activities with the suit imposed a significant cognitive load, impacting decision-making in time-sensitive situations [1] Strategies for Retaining Skills - Research suggests proactive training is crucial for retaining skills and mitigating the effects of aging [1] - The industry emphasizes the importance of actively training for desired skills to prevent their decline [1]
