Episode notes
The brain automates tasks through myelination, allowing us to process information rapidly and reduce cognitive load. Initially, when encountering new subjects like math, perceptions are neutral; however, repeated experiences and external influences, such as parental feedback, can solidify negative beliefs. Failure in these areas reinforces the belief of inadequacy, causing these negative neural pathways to fire more frequently and become more myelinated. This results in automatic responses and entrenched beliefs, leading to a self-fulfilling cycle that hampers future performance.
