ONLINE EVENT : THE "GREY" MATTERS

"Nothing is ever black or white. The opportunity is hidden in the grey matter." - Lawrence Jones MBE (Founder & CEO, UKFast)

At AAIS,  at the core of our belief lies the understanding that experiences shape one's learning and we have our students engage with carefully curated learning experiences.It is these experiences that stretches one's imagination, develops lateral thinking,  grows emotional balance, builds rationality, expands compassion and much more. And, interestingly, all of these stem from the brain!

 

The journey of exploring the brain and its functions have always been exciting and mysterious, as we seek to know and understand matters related to the 'grey matter'.

Here is an intriguing, exciting, deep and deliberate dialogue that you must tune into. Mark your calendar: Sunday, 27th September | 5 PM | Akshar Arbol YouTube channel live

With Dr Lavanya Rajagopalan (Science Writer & Arts Educator)

Mr Rahul Gannamani (MD & PhD candidate)

About the Book:

Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a higher level of math competency, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that intimidating but inescapable field. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. She flunked her way through high school math and science courses, before enlisting in the army immediately after graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy severely limited her options—both to rise in the military and to explore other careers—she returned to school with a newfound determination to re-tool her brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much trouble throughout her entire life.

 

In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to effectively learning math and science—secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d known earlier. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. Most people think that there’s only one way to do a problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions—you just need the creativity to see them. For example, there are more than three hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. In short, studying a problem in a laser-focused way until you reach a solution is not an effective way to learn math. Rather, it involves taking the time to step away from a problem and allow the more relaxed and creative part of the brain to take over. A Mind for Numbers shows us that we all have what it takes to excel in math, and learning it is not as painful as some might think!

Most of us treat conversation as a combating sport where we are always on our toes to interrupt to express our superior knowledge. We listen to reply than to understand.

 

But how can we change this? How can we be good listeners instead of thinking what to say next?

Watch Dr. Sahni illustrate 3 effective tips for becoming a good listener in this short video.

We learn things throughout our entire lives, but we still don’t know everything because we forget a lot of information. Bright Side will tell you about 11 simple memorizing tips that will help you remember everything and improve your memory.

SUMMARY

- Your brain is like a hard drive — the space is limited. Remember Sherlock Holmes? He couldn’t name all the planets of the Solar system — this was not because he missed school or something like that, but because he was too smart to have such irrelevant information in his memory. He deliberately erased facts he would never need. This is what your brain does: it protects you from overloading with information. That’s why all new data is stored in the short-term memory, not the long-term one. So, if you don’t repeat it or use it, you forget it very quickly.

A German psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus researched the memory and its mechanisms. He described the Forgetting Curve which shows that just one hour after learning something new we forget more than half of the learned information. One day later we remember only about 30% percent. Well, you see where this is going.

- There is a memorization technique called «Spaced repetition». To keep some information in your head for a longer time, you need to try to put it into your long-term memory. Forced memorization is not very effective in this case because your brain can’t make sense of the information quickly and form strong associations. Here it all depends on the reason why you are learning something.

- To memorize something quickly, repeat the information right after learning it.

The second repetition should be after 15-20 minutes.

You don’t need to return to the information between repetitions — just rest and do something different. Let your brain relax.

Repeat the learned material the third time after 6-8 hours.

And you should have the final repetition 24 hours after the first contact with the information.
