The Neuroscience of Learning

Whether you're perfecting your free throw or picking up a new language, you need to form new pathways in your brain in order to learn anything. The scientific term for this process is called plasticity: your brain’s ability to create and strengthen connections between neurons.

"It's not magic, it's neuroscience."

I love that!

1. Your brain controls everything you do. The more you repeat an activity, the stronger the pathway is in the brain.
2. Continuous practice starts out with struggle, then strengthens into effortless mastery.
3. The process by which the brain strengthens neurological pathways is called hyper-plasticity.

It's is not practice that improves, it is deliberate practice:

Deliberate practice: Is practicing something correctly and slowly with deep focus. With deliberate practice the mylein sheets increase.(Myelin is an insulating layer, or sheath that forms around nerves, that helps to prevent leak of electrical signal, making an action faster) .

So with each practice the mylein sheath improves and that's why it is important to do right practice slowly with focus.

Deliberate practice - Practicing something with deep focus, correctly, with expert advice and feedback.

The reason for expert advice, coach or feedback is to do it correctly.

Buddy!!!
U ignited me to study neuroscience....!!!
Thnk u very much...!!!

[strong_man.]

I remember when I use to always fail maths ....then I started practicing maths everyday, then I topped the class.

[DrDipikaCHAUDHARI]

An excellent session for neuroscience providing clear information on practice techniques. thank you so much sir

[zmpdxhb]

you just made me want to learn more about neuroscience!

[azharimasri]

I've already practice to learn 3 hours a day. Couple ealry months, i will be fall asleep just after 1 hour reading 😂. But now in my 8th month, i can learn for more than 12 hours a day. Yeah, neuroscience. It works.

I can dig and respect this concept; it makes sense and is relevant in working with strengthening our skills in whatever we did. Thank you for the concept. Dr. Tuck

[laraES]

This is so true! I have helped hundreds of advanced English speakers go from good to great working from the same fundamental principles. Definitely interested in learning more about hyperplasticity...

[Fersko]

So if I practice math each and everyday for at least an hour, I can be a master after a lot of practice? Now that does sound like magic.. xD

[Ashish]

practice with consistency is how you can learn anything

[xcjsnmkkfkkk]

I always think about that if we can create those pathways in hours or days so we can learn faster than normal learning process. Hope someday it will possible

Amateurs practice until they get it right. Experts practice until they never get it wrong.

I am a PGA `Fellow´ Golf Professional, as one of the best golf instructors in the world, I found your video very interesting, with reference to neural plasticity, sensitisation being an integral facet of this neural process (synaptic activity) and fascinatingly the cross over transformation between `Bottom Up´ and `Top Down´ generated neural signalling, I will be sharing this video with my student readers, as neural plasticity is the responsible process for establishing learning to take place.
It was very pleasing to see that your video explained and dispelled the myth surrounding the expression muscle memory, non existence, and that it is within the neural processes found within the human brain which are responsible for human memory and retrieval.
Having studied: Physiology, Neurophysiology, Neuroscience, Neuropsychology, Advanced Physiology (The effects from regular exercise on the organ systems within the human body), and Human Metabolism, my paper which has been submitted to the IGSJ-International Golf Science Journal, and more recently to the PGA-Professional Golfers Association in England.
My paper assembles the results generated from my personal 30 year long observations, my long standing experiment, its findings supported from my university studies which I completed, which included a field experiment in Holland with 12 amateur Dutch golfers, two Dutch PGA Golf Professionals, and two non golfers, all of whom were recorded on both video and an fNIRS non invasive neural signalling monitor, which is similar to an fMRI scanner which are not as portable compared with an fNIRS system. My field trip combined the video of the physical behaviour with that of the Neural activity (Brain Function), which is why the title of my paper is: It`s All In The Mind, its sub title intro is; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: A Golf Lesson. The experiment and my paper`s central topic was Ball Flight, identifying the three requisite golfing skills needed for all golfers to avoid and eradicate "Slicing"!
Stating that skills 2 & 3 which are central instructional themes for all golf instructors have been proven and confirmed from the statistics to be questionable, as more than 75% of all golfers SLICE!
Professor Leo Katz, Duke University coined the phrase: Use it or lose it.
Donald Hebb (1949): Neurons which fire together wire together.
Professor Idan Segev: Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Introduced to us in our lectures the word "Connectomics", the combined fields from Physiology, Neuroscience and Psychology, which links in with Edwin R. Guthrie (1886 – 1959), Dewey 1896, Josselyn et al., 2017 and Mach 1914, references to their shared synergy albeit undesired at that period in time, Kaplan, Altmann and Gould were not viewed differently from within the establishment either!
A Golf Stroke
1). Ball Flight
2). Direction
3). Distance
And:-
i). Hitting a golf ball
ii.) Learning to play golf
iii.) Learning to play better golf
It has always been factual within my mind that Golf is 100% mental (Neural/Brain) x 3, a golf ball does not tell lies, as Ben Hogan once said; The best judge of good a golf swing is, is the ball!

Neuroscience will always fascinate me!

MUSCLE MEMORY- Very good lesson on Neuroscience

[naturegyrl]

Certainly one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Informative, concise, and short! Thank you for posting.

[learningmastery_academy]

Thank you for this video. This is why individual learning is important. But that's a long shot.

Anyway this helps with group learning.
