A Mind For Numbers
This is a summary from one of my favourite books called "A Mind For Numbers" by Barbara Oakley.
I hope this will be useful for you :)
Our brain has two ways of thinking: focused and diffuse mode.
Focused mode is placed principally in the front of the brain and whenever we have a thought, with focused mode we repeat a pattern.
To enter to focused mode we only need to put our attention to something.
Meanwhile, in diffuse mode we don't repeat specific patterns, instead, we make scattered neural connections in all the brain.
Diffuse mode gives us a "big picture". That's why using this mode is essential to solve hard problems.
Diffuse mode occurs when we relax our attention.
Examples:
Sleeping, meditating, making art, doing exercise, driving, going for a walk.
Kinds of memories.
We have two kinds of memories, they are long term memory and working memory.
Whenever we are learning something we're trying to go from working memory to long term memory
Working memory.
This kind of memory happens when you're consciously holding the information.
The working memory can hold only 4 chunks and it's crucial to be active and give them energy so your metabolism doesn't use that energy.
For example repeat someone's name until you write it.
Long term memory.
Long term memory is a enourmus storage of information. It's like a giant library. To find any book it's necessary to revisit the path a few times in order to remember it.
There's a way to remember "that path", is called Spaced Repetition System and it consist in alternating recall and rest.
Sleep
It's important because when we sleep toxic products are eliminated because our cells shrink and the space between our cells are bigger so fluids can pass and clean those toxins.
That's why when we don't sleep well we can't think effectively.
Chunking.
Chinking is one of the most important elements to understand anything. When you chunk informations it's easier for the brain to understand it.
Chunking means to divide informations into little pieces and then tie them through meaning.
Pause and recall.
Don't look at the text, ¿what were the principal ideas? ¿How can you use this?.
Have a nice day :)
A Mind For Numbers
This is a summary (I have written) from one of my favourite books called "A Mind For Numbers" by Barbara Oakley.
I hope this will be useful forto you :)
Our brain has two waydifferent modes of thinking: focused and diffuse moded.
Focused mode is placed principally in the front of the brain and whenever we have a thought, with focused mode, we repeat a pattern.
To enter to focused mode we only need to put our attention to something.
“To enter into that way of thinking is something she tries not to do.”
^ another example w the preposition
Meanwhile, in diffuse mode we don't repeat specific patterns, instead, we make scattered neural connections in all over the brain.
Diffuse mode gives us athe "big picture".
That's why using this mode is essential to solveing hard problemsany type of problem in life.
Context on the type of problem is necessary in this context, the brackets are my two different guesses but you’ll have to tell me what you meant!
Diffuse mode occurs when we relax our attention.
Examples:
Sleeping, meditating, making art, doing exercise, driving, going for a walk.
KDifferent kinds of memoriesy.
We have two kinds of memories, they are: long term memory and working memory.
Whenever we are learning something we're trying to go from working memory to long term memory
Working memory.
This kind of memory happens when you're consciously holding the information.
The working memory can hold only 4 chunks and it's crucial to be active and give them energy so your metabolism doesn't use that energy.
For example repeat someone's name until you write it.
Long term memory.
Long term memory is an enourmous storage of information.
A = an in front of letters with vowels. A e i o u
An igloo
An elephant
It's like a giant library.
To find any book it's necessary to revisit the path a few times in order to remember it.
There's a way to remember "that path", this is called the Spaced Repetition System and it consist ins of alternating recall and rest.
Sleep
It's important because when we sleep because toxic products are eliminated. This is because when our cells shrink and the space between our cells areis bigger sowhilst we are sleeping, fluids can pass and clean those toxins.
That's why when we don't sleep well we can't think effectively.
Chunking.
Chiunking is one of the most important elements to understanding anything.
When you chunk informations it's easier for the brain to understand it.
Information is never a plural
Chunking means to divide informations into little pieces and then tie them together through meaning.
Pause and recall.
Don't look at the text, ¿what were the principal ideas?
¿How can you use this?.
Have a nice day :)
