How to Learn Faster by Using Failures, Movement & Balance
Feb 15, 2021
This discussion dives into how movement and balance can transform the brain for better learning. It highlights the surprising role that errors play in enhancing neuroplasticity. Frustration can actually boost learning, making it more effective. The connection between vestibular function and adaptability is explored, revealing ways to fine-tune mental states for optimal learning. Plus, the concept of incremental changes is championed as a more powerful approach compared to traditional methods!

Deep dives
Incremental Learning and Making Errors
Incremental learning, focused on making errors, is a powerful way to tap into neuroplasticity as an adult. By engaging in short bouts of intense learning, where we make a lot of errors, we can signal to our nervous system that change is necessary. The frustration and errors during these learning bouts release neurotransmitters like epinephrine and acetylcholine, which promote focus and attention. Keeping the learning sessions relatively short and intense allows us to maintain high levels of focus and engagement. Additionally, by subjectively attaching dopamine to the process of making errors, we can create a positive association with the learning experience, further enhancing plasticity.
