Episode notes
Learning Is Encoding, Not Input
- Learning is more than input; it's about how the brain encodes knowledge for long-term retention.
- Mastery requires wiring information into neural structures, not temporary memorization.
Belief Directs Neural Engagement
- Your brain learns what you believe it's supposed to learn, so mindset shapes neural engagement.
- Growth mindsets keep the brain present through discomfort, enhancing learning depth.
Mistakes Supercharge Learning
- Mistakes trigger acetylcholine and norepinephrine which heighten focus and neuroplasticity.
- Growth mindsets sustain engagement after errors, enabling deeper learning than avoiding mistakes.
