How to turn information into intelligence | Barbara Oakley

[@The-Well]

What's an example of mental chunking that you've used?

[@lelouchlibritannia3771]

I don't know if this is real chunking, but I'm studying marketing, and recently I came across this summary of the steps to develop a marketing policy. First, you have to study the market. Which means defining it first, and then choosing the appropriate methods to study this specific market. Second, you have to make a strategy, based on the results of your study. And third, you implement the strategy by operational means. I still have a lot of gaps in my knowledge in the 3 areas, but now I'm diving deeper and learning more about each of them, so that in the end I'm able to look at a specific business, product or project and design a marketing plan that will make it successful.

[@ceterisparibus8966]

​@@lelouchlibritannia3771I'm trying to learn the same thing! Can you tell me what content material you are using?

[@drwriddhimanchattopadhyay2701]

Great video . Changed my thought process ❤️

[@pratyaya4032]

In case of solving some specific integrals you need to memorize some key techniques and later on those techniques become tools for solving similar math problems and problems that are different but can be tested with your set of tools or chunks in your mind.

[@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006]

mental chunking reminds me a bit of mindmaps, cuisenaire rods/blocks, bullet/branch type categorizations, and maybe even parallelism (if I stretch it)... Basically a way to organize and sort the info received (during focus mode) and lay it out (during diffuse mode) in a way that makes sense to the user in their perspective... Like making a mental infographic map of patterns useful/familiar to the brain- infomapping? Is that a real word? That's what mental chunking reminds me of... I've used mindmap apps before and it does help like a physical extension of your memory that you can verify at a glance and update for corrections.. It helps better than traditional learning media, because it embodies the "chunking theory" to make a huge load of info more digestible by breaking it into related parts...

[@JosephVK]

# The Two Modes of Learning Section Overview: This section discusses the two different neural networks we access when perceiving things and how they affect learning. ## Focus Mode vs. Diffuse Mode - When we first sit down to learn something, we activate task-positive networks in our brain. - However, this isn't always the right circuit to understand and comprehend the material. - When we get frustrated, we activate a completely different set of neural circuits called the default mode network. - This background-processing occurs when we stop thinking about it and relax, such as going for a walk or taking a shower. - Learning involves going back and forth between these two modes: focus mode and diffuse mode. # Neural Chunks Section Overview: This section explains what neural chunks are and why they are important in learning. ## Creating Well-Practiced Patterns - When learning something new, you want to create a well-practiced neural pattern that you can easily draw to mind when you need it. - These patterns are called "neural chunks." - Chunking theory is incredibly important in learning because it helps us develop well-practiced patterns that make tasks seem easy. - The bigger the library of these patterns, the more expertise you have in that topic. # Chunking Theory Section Overview: This section delves deeper into chunking theory and how it relates to expertise. ## Solid Neural Patterns - Nobel Prize-winner Simon found that if you're a chess master, the higher your ranking in chess, the more patterns of chess you had memorized. - Research shows that the better your expertise at anything, the more solid neural patterns (or neural chunks) you have. - It's important to create well-practiced patterns related to multiplication, division, calculus concepts like limits, integrals, and derivatives. - Practicing with each one of these enough makes it almost like backing up a car. # Developing Chunks Section Overview: This section discusses how to develop chunks when learning something difficult. ## Practice with Key Problems - When learning something difficult, find key problems and try working them cold. - If you can't solve the problem, take a peek at whatever hints you need to be able to finish working it. - Try working the problem again cold without looking at the answer. - Repeat this process over several days until you can step through all the solution steps in your mind. ## Develop Automatic Patterns - By practicing key problems repeatedly, patterns become automatic. - After several days of practice, you will have created valuable chunks that allow you to solve new problems more easily. ## All Learning Involves Neural Chunks - Realize that all learning involves getting these neural chunks together.

I figured out at an early age that when I would get frustrated with a word search puzzle, I would get up and walk away for a drink of water and restroom break. When I came back, words jumped out at me. When I want to learn new information, I pair the learning with an art project. I learned the basics of SQL in 2 days, and I built my first terrarium with a waterfall. I've decided to commit and will continue with the data analyst education using this same application.

[@labsanta]

2 types: - We have two different neural networks when perceiving things: task-positive networks and default mode network. Process - When we first focus on learning something, we activate task-positive networks, but they might not be the right circuits for comprehension. Pain - Frustration arises when we can't understand the material using the task-positive networks. Change ON/OFF - When we give up and shift our attention away, the default mode network and related circuits activate, leading to comprehension. ON/OFF - Learning involves switching between focus mode and diffuse mode (task-positive networks and default mode network). - Both modes are necessary for learning, as we need to focus to load information into our brains and then switch to diffuse mode for background processing. CHUNKS - Creating neural chunks, or well-practiced patterns, is important for learning. - Neural chunks help us easily recall information when needed. - The more well-practiced neural patterns we have, the more expertise we have in a particular topic. - Chunking theory was explored by Nobel Prize-winner Simon and is significant for deep learning and expertise development. - The higher your ranking in chess, the more patterns of chess you have memorized, known as neural chunks. - Expertise in any field is associated with solid neural patterns or chunks. - Practicing and mastering specific patterns in a subject, such as multiplication or calculus, enables quick recall and application. - The misconception that too much practice kills creativity is untrue; the right kind of practice is essential. - Interleaving techniques and solving different types of problems is more effective than repetitive practice. - When learning something difficult, find key problems and attempt to solve them without assistance. - Revisit the problem later and try to solve it again without looking at the answer. - Gradually practice and reinforce the problem-solving process to develop automatic patterns. - Developing valuable chunks allows for efficient recall and problem-solving during tests. - Connecting neural chunks helps solve new problems and enhances learning and problem-solving abilities.

Two examples of Focused and Diffused, assimilation of information, it's purpose and learning. : 1. Use of the Central Vision for a select Foucus and a peripheral Vision encompassing broader canvas in a diffused mode, akin to zooming to wide angle (defused) from telephoto (focused) A constant interplay. 2. In calculus the differentiation at point is a focused, and integration process is diffused. 3. Practice & repeat exercises should not become a rote/mechanical learning without really understanding. Once understood is never forgotten !

[@Thanos-hp1mw]

Her book "A mind for numbers" is excellent. It elaborates on the topic she speaks about in this video.

[@Someone-qy3kv]

It’s like I tell new people at work (retail) if you have a empty shelf and you don’t know what to put their, leave it alone and move onto something else that you do know what to do with. I guarantee you in 30 mins or so the answer will come to you. I have found with my short time in this planet, when it comes to understanding or learning. The answer usually seems counterintuitive.

[@The-Well]

Indeed - when things are intuitive, perhaps we never need to wonder or think about them! Great example and thank you for sharing.

[@GammaFZ]

[@chaugulepankaj]

There are two different nural circuits. Default mode network and focus mode. You can only stay in one mode at a time. Focus mode is for feeding the information in the brain and default network is for understanding and making sense of that information. -Feed information, detach and focus on something else so that your default nural network mode do it's work to convert that information into wisdom.

[@ugoc3300]

If you ask yourself how to do something but do not have the answer, do something else. The answer may come right after. I realise that when I am fully proficient. This means not staying stuck on a task I can't do in the moment for various reasons and doing something else instead. I often find the answer while I do the other useful thing. A way is to focus on things you can do rather than those you can't. And then it clears the path to harder ones, becoming more easy, having less on the the way of performing.

[@btbb3726]

Over the years I’ve adopted a system that may actually be similar to what is portrayed in this video. I have been describing it as starting to work on learning or understanding something and then, when my brain feels overtaxed, I step away and trust my brain to continue working on the effort I’m the background. I then wait for the product of said background brain activity to present me with understanding and-or I revisit the conscious effort.

Everybody watching this: watch it again and this time concentrate on her mannerisms (her hand movements). Look how she's illustrating the concepts and actions in space and time with her hand movements, mimicking the very actions taking place in the brain and placing it (maybe relative to one another) forming a spacial map (possibly) of where these things occur in HER brain. Fascinating.........it's like watching a designer explaining the features of the inside of a house and where everything is situated and how it is used. I wonder how much of the content one would be able to guess, if it were possible to just focus on the mannerisms without listening to the audio............... The brain is truly the most fascinating organ of the body: a vastly incomplete and unexplored universe .......

There are two different types modes. First one is focused mode and other one is diffused mode. When we start studying.it's means that we are in focused mode. Then after a while, during study we start feeling frustrated and then we go to walk and any other things. Now we are in diffused mode. Diffused works in background in our mind. we even cannot realise, our brain is working on the same topic that we have lifted. And then when we go to the same topic ,again in focused mode. Hurrah!
