It’s Vishal V why are some people or some kids or Some Indians are so good with memory and remember everything then the normal peoples? You have experience in your school or college or office. Your colleagues or your friends are remember all things in one time You are not why? In this blog Let’s figure out
some people learn faster, memory power
so you know there things where people talk about memory power or photographic memory where you look at a page once’s and now you remember it and the next time/day you just remember the page or subject in that page, that same of it is training ,some of it is inherent capabilities also like for example someone is really good in dancer versus not someone’s really good at having hand eye coordination and that’s why they can play so there will be some inherent differences but a lot of it is once you discover talent you tend to hone it you tend to hone it when you good at something and you realise you know this is I’m something this is actually a positive reward for me because I feel good at it .
it’s a self perpetuating thing the minute you find something you’re good at and it gives you a sense of pleasure and a sense of reward that you have done well at it you tend to go and repeat it
some one question me that so are you telling me that if there is a two kids from same families and who have exactly same identical biology and brain let’s assume in that two kids one kid you tell that kid again you’re dumb you can’t remember everything you telling again and again every day for a year and other kid (2 kid) you keep telling every day that you’re intelligent you remember every thing, you’re such a brilliant kid , you have sharp memory regardless of what they do if keep telling them you think the one you’re telling nice things will end up becoming better at memory than versus 1%
answer was above the question, 101% there’s no doubt about it because the stress associated with continuously being negated and continuously being told you’re incapable has a clear impact I’m not saying it would be black or white but there’s no question that if you started with two individuals with identical capability and then the environment pushed one to have positive reinforcement and the others to have continuous negative reinforcement there’s no doubt in that you will drive a differential.
Q2, can they do that in adults as well ?
To a lesser extent but absolutely to a lesser extent because the brain is much more plastic and much more open to change in a younger nervous system so your first 25 years of life ,that’s a window in which there is much more plasticity then in the second 25 years and the last 25 it’s downhill after that first 25 it moves in the other direction so plasticity is reducing in the range of what it can do so when I say plasticity it means the ability of your brain to change to effectively change in response to environment our brain is a like I said, it’s job to take in information from the environment and make change to Be able to adopt better to the world that was it does
let’s go third question of this blog. I Observe A lot Of Athletes Just for the fun of it, like how do they perform How do they come to the show court? What do they do in practice and all the videos find out? there is one identical thing you need to find out that thousand of Olympic athletes, okay, and you will see that probably , you know it already is when like you look at all runners or anyone, the moment there is like this gun, right the body moves. Say prep(it’s internal trip of the brain before anything actually happens) And I looking at one runner who was race next, and he was in the stand, and he was Watching this is Olympic going on And I think it was like care 400 m race and next was hundred metres The sky was standing here. The race was there and they put gun trigger for that race, but this gun guy understand he was like In a resting mood, his body moved his body Tokyo reaction, why this going on?
for this answer, that’s because that entire sequence has probably Been practised in his mind over and over again, it’s the Same what someone like, a concert pianist, which is if you are Hearing, so I will Give You, this is a good example, because he concert pianist Is actually a good way Of so you know When you move your fingers A particular way, those individual fingers have representation in the brain and so that part of brain is getting active yes, you are moving that finger, and even before you move the finger there is something Called the promoter which is before the sequence starts, you imagine it and you start playing it now. Let’s say I am concert Pianist And you are playing some sequence, I am not even moving my finger. I am listening in the audience I am playing out the whole sequence in my promoter cortex because I know that how the sequence will be played, I have practiced It so much that you are playing the music, even before you hit, the key will active my brain to start producing the exact same sequence, and this is something called mirror neurons we have the capability of imagining others, action, and before day perform the action we predict what they are going to do, this is prediction system that we have witch is rather unique and special to primates so primates tend to have this mirror neuron system really developed where we actually predict the Other section, which helps you it’s shortcut, let’s say you and I are sitting if you have a good idea of how you are going to behave what you are going to do Then it makes this conversation so much easier it’s because I am predicting what you are going to do, and That’s what we are doing in all social interactions. We are Mimicking The other person’s potential action by imagining what They likely Will do, and we tend to do this better With those whom we understand better, so we are Indian, I am Indian, we have common shared vocabulary of understanding of our country our culture, so it’s an ease Let’s say you stick at someone from like Indonesia and day, don’t speak English or they don’t speak Hindi or they don’t speak whatever common we will struggle initially, because our ability to predict the other person, action has gone because cultural contest has moved away is why we find it easier to hang Out with our one, the problem with that, is it also come with a negative of That which is that, we have an Implicit bias To performing people who sound like us, look like us, behave like us, and we find it harder to deal with individual who don’t sound at all, like us who behave very differently from us And that Sometimes can create a bias
