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

@lelouchlibritannia3771

Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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...

Remember to take an information break after watching this video, so your brain can enter the “diffuse learning mode” to retain this important piece of knowledge :)

# 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.

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.

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

She has just summarized the main ideas of the "Learn how to Learn" Course 😌✨

I concur, over the last 9 months of my life, I dedicated myself to learning and knowledge (programming/data/security) and it’s changed my outlook for the better. I will know what it’s like to not have to “live within my means”, and I will change my families life.

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.

It feels like we're tapping into something

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 !

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.

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.

This is so true. I do that everyday in my job and not for learning something new only but to solve complex problems

It's amazing how you can consistently find experts that can speak and explain so well.

Thanks Barbara, I loved the video. I loved the information even more. I’ve somehow known about interlinking knowledge from one field and applying it into another field abstractly but was always looked at as a strange human being by the receiving party because somehow it was probably just too wide a gap for someone to fathom and link the information together without a basic understanding of the other field. Linking knowledge from one field and applying it to another is a great way to solve some hard problems. Either way this video was really great as it explains a lot about burnouts I’ve dealt with (wether large or small ones) by using time to diffuse the information gained by chunking it all in within a short amount of time. It also supports a layman’s explanation of “time heals all” so I guess it’s healthy to take a step back from some issues, and keep going at a later date. Was great to hear this logical and scientific explanation you gave. Hope to see some more amazing videos like this one in the future. Take care

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.

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.

This explains why it takes time to really Master material. And why 4 years in college just focusing on College is important not necessarily better than people that have to go to work and college like myself. Although I would prefer to be able to spend time just focusing on the learning ass back I just can't afford to live and go to school full-time being an older adult learner. But I'll get it done

Focus on the heart, and transfer the image seen by the eyes to the memory of the brain, and it will be easy to call back things in the memory.

I read her book "evil genes". I had the impression she should have sometimes used "Cluster B" instead of "borderline" in the book. But otherwise an enjoyable book. So when I read her name I already knew that's going to be a good video.

If you're reading her book "A mind for numbers". This video is a good summary of that book.

thanks again =)

Important part is internal patterns and also external hard patterns both should be inter-weaved. Years will pass with single pattern. If explored to maximum extent and discovered for benefit of all society it will create much more complex sub- patterns etc etc.

Sometimes I also observe it

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! It starts making sense

I think that learning to learn is extremely important. These are also connections in between neurons. It’s a skill, just like maths, that can help you learn more efficiently. The learning patterns may differ from person to person.

So what is neural pattern or neural chunk exactly? Is every thought or motion sequence a chunk or pattern. Then yes repeat it does improve the efficiency. But isn't that obvious?

I watched your videos on Coursera.

the music at the end of the video sounds cool. Does anybody knows the name of it?

Instead of going from focus to defuse, can you say focus on subject a and then focus on subject b, and get the same effect?

Background process we see in Task Manager

So are mental models are like pre-fab mental chunking?

How can you tell if this is the correct explanation? Maybe the effect of taking a rest is that you return to the task refreshed and mentally more effective when you try again.

makes sence.

Am I not always in the "diffuse mode"?

Basically, what is needed is effort, full stop! But I guess academia can't explain something in a few sentences, they need to label things with sophisticated terms like focus mode, diffuse mode, neural chunks....

Hope you guys start uploading things that aren't already posted on your big think soon, or maybe start deleting them from Big Think because I end up recommended the other version after I watch one or the other

So basically: 1)Give your brain to rest after learning something new, so your brain could compartmentalise . 2)Use cold practice 3)The more chunks you got the more different combines of then you can make. Thus, you can improve any kind of studying. 4)Chunks helps a lot!!!

do you guys think, this could be applied to try resist addiction or learn how to handle addiction?

Neural chunks become or fuel HABITS. Habits become or fuel our ability to operate by autopilot, as I understand it.

Take in all the data, examine and analyze it, and then take a break and give your subconscious some time to digest and manipulate it. REM sleep is really beneficial to facilitate this process.
