“When you leave today, go out and build the brain you want” Manifest and PRACTICE the positive things that will give a healthy long term life for your brain. This really changed my perspective moving forward. I’m so glad I came across this!
@@imperfect_kay Bring into existence. For example. From imagining something to drawing it to you by making, purchasing, or causing it to exist through combining visualization with belief that it already exists, perhaps meditating and using positive affirmations. Different people believe in different ways of manifesting. We can perhaps manifest better health by living a life of giving and being positive. .
@@imperfect_kay simple, chose the right question. For example, instead of asking your self "can I do it?", you better ask youself "how to do it?".. Can i do it? If your answer is YES, you will do it but if your answer is NO, you will leave it. But if your question is "how to do it?, automatically your brain will work regardless of either you were able to do it or not. Every morning, try to ask this question "what should I do today?" Automatically, your brain will work and exercising its motor skills. Instead of asking yourself, "what should I learn today?" Why not asking yourself "what should I improved today?".. What should I learn today? Question will force your brain to think that it is a new skills and it will automatically be catagorised as a temporary memory. High probably you will forget about it later. But if you ask you self "what should I improved today?" It will force your brain to put it at the long memory because it is not new, you were just improving something (it change the brain structure faster.). Socrates says, questions everthing. I said, question everything but chosing the right question is even important. Note: this is based on my observation between people who have positive minds and negative minds around me. You may agree or you may disagree.
I am 70 and during COVID decided to brush up on my German, having lived there for five years in the 80's. After a year I have added French, Italian and Latin. I study at least an hour a day. I can actually feel my brain structure changing.
There was a guy aggressively learning Spanish and used 8 to 10 hrs a day and in 60 days was a fluent speaker. So I'm a fan of 2 to 4 hrs if itll be a commitment.
Brief: Three levels of changes in neuroplasticity for learning: * chemical changes for short-term memory, * structure changes for long-term memory, * functional changes for shifting brain areas. The most interesting ideas are that: * our brain will be shaped structurally and functionally by our behavior! * difficulty during practicing lead to more changes in the brain (more efficient?) Everyone is his own designer for his brain and be aware of our daily habit! Hope you learn new skills more effictively.
Neuroplasticity - the fact that our brain can repair and improve itself... is one of the most important discoveries of recent times. It will change the way we think... learn... grow... and relate to each other. The more we know our own brains... the better we can be. In a disruptively evolving world... this is one area we MUST FOCUS ON. This is a great video to watch and learn from.
To people offering snake oil remedies (such as 'prayer' when gods are a physical impossibility as far as we know), I feel sorry for you. Might I take this opportunity to remind people it was the RICH who created religions to exploit the poor, NOT the other way round. Make something of your life. You only get this one shot. Seize the day. Reject religion.
@@garrett3848 yeah I didn't even graduate high school & I know she shoulda said do not does. But I'm sure she knows what shes talking Abt. Just cuz ur not perfect in one aspect don't mean u can't accel at another
I think the most important note was “The Primary driver of change in your brain is your behavior, so there’s no neuroplasticity drug that you can take. Nothing is more effective than practice at helping you learn. Bottom line is that you have to do the work. Increased struggle if you will, during practice, actually leads to both more learning and greater structural change in the brain”
My father had a stroke years ago due to alcohol he has given up on himself from learning the ability of walking and talking. It's hard at times but over the years I've been aiding him with almost everything. I just wish he can refine his will power and try to learn. It has been 11 years he had a stroke at 30 y old , please care for your body and brain. If you have kids please change your life for them. I've been taking care of him since 11. I'm now 22 and it has completely changed my aspect of life from other kids in their 20s. Live long and prosper guys☺️
thank you for sharing this here...I'm sure caring for your father has matured you and given you such empathy, I'm a mother and I'm addicted to cigarettes (gross I know) well anyways, this video helps me to think I can quit easier and faster...I've done it before so I know it can be done. I want to be healthy for my son ! I hope your father gets well.
+sholanda Williams thank you for your lovely comment and hey I understand your addiction to cigarettes. How do I understand? Because I use to be hooked on cigarettes since i was 15 I have tried nicotine patches and it just doubled my addiction crave. I'm 22 now and Tobacco free. No one will ever understand your addiction unless they go through it. It takes a hold of you and makes you think that you need it while you never notice that it's controlling you. When I turned 21i told myself I need to stop this. First step I tried is to smoke less , well that didn't work. , second step nicotine patches , well that didn't work. Third step ,I took a step backwards I told my self if someone gave me a candy bar and told me to eat it with no label on it and no nutrition label on it would I eat it? Hell no it could kill me right? Soo I took a different approach.. ya ya we all know it causes cancer.. but we hear that soo much that it just doesn't affect us..
+sholanda Williams my suggestion is educate yourself on what nicotine does to your body and mind. I spent countless time on the internet reading and watching videos about how nicotine affects your body and mind, and after 3 months I quit COLD TURKEY I never looked back on cigarettes again the day before I quit I smoked about a pack , and then that night I watched more videos and the next morning I never looked at them again , get a gym membership, run a mile sweat it out. If I can do it soo can you hun , good love and may god be with you.❤️
@Nekes12 ooh. Do you have the primary camera opened? What she shared is highly important for rehabilitation centers. Try visiting one before you type fancy words in a public window kid.
Or age grouping and splitting the progression of the subject per grade. Just imagine, you come to school, and the teacher knows how you learn and you have no limitation how much you can learn or in what time simply because you like the subject so much. I hated that personally, I was like "yay, finally something that peaks my interest" and the teacher goes "Next year". Fuck off, that's just backwards, just like the education system.
People like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc.dropped out of college not because they didn't believe in education but it was too slow for them and not focused on what answers they wanted. Formal education can only be a starting point for life long learners.
Higher education on the Internet, I believe, will be a disruptive technology for the traditional universities. Imagine going to lectures given by the best professors in the world and only costing $100 per semester.
Now a days a student in Africa can surf MIT lectures on TH-cam. Isn't it amazing? I believe within next decade or so, bulk universities will be inside the Internet.
I was so amazed by this particular TED talk. I suffered a massive stroke at the age of 30. Thankfully, it was a year later when my doctor told me I should have died or been severely limited. I came home from the hospital and couldn't read. I took my son's books and read them. I journaled every task I did at work. And 23 years later, if you didn't know me then, you would never know I had a stroke.
@DamedaneThx for your support sincerely. But i am a 'south' korean and it's a first world country though... Anyway i finna study abroad and immigrate to canada this september... This country got lotta money and good infrastructure but education system is freakin crazy than any other country in the world no cap. I had slept only 4 ours a day in my middle school days for real.
If you want to learn something faster, grow an intrest to it. Some people learn faster, because they are interested on the subject that they are learning. Understanding knowledge, is power
Da Jew it's kind a truth Its more like and exercise a routine of trying to understand and like young people don't give up with technology don't give up until you understand something then if you do exercise, eat well and drink proteins shakes you will have a more stronger brain I feel more intelligent I reorganize my ideas better I'm more secure and it's all about trying and work out your brain always learning something new
As an addict ted has helped much more than anything else , I was badly into wrong stuffs , dead - depressed but they way ted talks r I mean I just cannot express my gratitude in words . Thanks to the lord for internet for these ppl who share their beautiful work . It has helped me find my life and happiness back 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sameer Pradhan a question, you think the high level of anxiety and depression that a lot of people say is for drug abuse or is fueled somehow , what are you normal thoughts after getting high repeatedly
David Valdivieso Delgado at first getting high used to take away stress, like give a fake or temporary relief... But after repeated use it made me more depressed n then it made me more depressed about being dependent on drug
David Valdivieso Delgado you aren't doing them anymore right? Started with alcohol n cigarette followed by weed n hash, n then I came along a lsd circle .... I didn't took heavy doses of lsd even little made me high, but was doing it every other day
Points: Neuroplasticity is supported by chemical, structural and functional changes. The primary driver for neuroplastic change in the brain is behavior. Nothing is more effective for changing the brain than practice. Patterns of neuroplasticity can vary dramatically from person to person. Neuroplastic change can be positive or negative. The brain is shaped by what we do and what we don't do.
Basically, keep learning, keep growing. What you want to learn, inculcate it into your behaviour, and your brain will build pathways in thag direction. (Happened to me) For those of us who have developed negative thought patterns, and don't know how to feel positive about some traits of ours, try neutral thoughts instead. If your first thought is negative (in whatever context you want to change), try to make sure your second or third or any response that you manage is positive, or at the very least, neutral. And don't try to rationalise wrong things. Like a friend of mine is always like, 'but why would I care?' they say that but they constantly keep worrying about whatever they think is their unpleasant trait. Don't just outwardly act like your good. Think you're good and the right kind of person you need to be. Keep learning and don't let the voices of your inner critics hold you back.
The point is you have the power to CHANGE your brain through behavioral habit. This is huge because it was always believed after you become an adult you were stuck with what you have. This means that a 65 year old truck driver could become a world class violinist IF he puts in the time for behavioral habit. If you can't see the value in that message then, well, enjoy a dull life.
No sir. A 65 truck driver will never become a world class violinist, even if he has the remaining decades left to form a habit. He might be able to play rudimentary scales, notes and other beginners tunes, but NEVER will he be even on the same planet as a World Class violinist. How did you ever come up with such outrageously wrong opinions. Change of brain is fractional at best the older you get. In a lifetime of diligent application you might get a 5% increase in mental horsepower. But, the brain does like the New new thing. So exposing oneself to the news, periodically, like a new language, is possible. Playing the violin or any musical instrument at world class levels is more akin to your basic ability in higher and higher mathematics, not just memory. We won't even go into the level of intelligence a world class violinist needs to have compared to a truck driver with average intelligence.
This video will change my life. I believed that my brain couldn't be changed because I'm not a teenager. but you got me. and I'll do my best to live today and change my behavior for learning.
This video is underrated. Take the time to watch it. 1. Increased struggle during practice leads to more learning. We are shaped by everything that we don't do. 2nd lesson: there is no recipe for learning. The shaping of our brain is so unique. Each individual requires their own intervention including treatment of stroke. The behaviors we employ every day are important so we need personalized learning. Each of us change our brain differently. Study how and what you learn best. Repeat those habits. Everything we are experiencing is changing our brain for better or for worse.
Before, your string of thoughts and actions would have been 'I need to do this' -> Not actually doing it -> 'I really need to do this' -> Feeling stronger resistance -> 'I need to do this no matter what' -> Feeling self-remorse But through relaxation, your action patterns will change as the following: 'I should do this' -> Not actually doing it -> Relaxation -> Feeling lower resistance In such a way, you break away from the pattern of increasing your level of resistance, and create an opportunity to at least begin the work you need to do. search youtube "paradox of I can do it"
As someone who has suffered from 4 strokes in the past, I can relate to everything Lara Boyd explains when she talks about the difficultly some people have when learning a new skill. I can also relate to the idea that medicine has not reached a point where it is helping stroke patients with what they really require for rehabilitation, and further help with their individual futures. My strokes disabled motor functions on one side of my body, caused a speech impediment and left me half-blind. All this is physical, yet behind all these see-able problems lingers the mental chaos that accompanies stokes, like learning new skills and dealing with the frustration of watching many others solve and master equal skills far easier. I hope for the sake of future generations, and even those who struggle today, that something simple - like this talk - can motivate those (stroke patient or not) to focus clearer and adjust their strategies for learning new or old skills.
Wow, one thing you can be proud of is how well spoken you are when you put your thougths on paper. I wish id have the ease to express myself but i dont, and you know what? Ive never had a stroke. I am happy youve overcame that the best you could. You have kept the best peaces of yourself clearly ❤️
My mother had brain haemorrhage eight years ago and at that time she did lose her short term memory but with constant love, support, and encouragement of the family she not only survived, but has rebuilt her brain and now lives a happy and healthy life! This video was very interesting and thank you for recording it :)
Hi Farrah.i love you but don't know you. I love u because you care for someone else. Here is some help for your mom ok, and others too: (I feel concern for those who have had head injuries) Your poor mom, on a positive note SHE WILL DO FINE. Here's how People can get back their memory. Many parts of the brain can CONNECT us with past memories. We may forget directly what color shirt someone was wearing at some time BUT may TRIGGER ause be
Notes: Long-term learning is from increased struggle of practices. The more you struggle in learning, the more it creates long-term effect. What you do everyday shapes your brain so if to learn something, practice it everyday with so much effort. Also if you want to be better, make sure you do and surround yourself only with what's healthy for your self.
Yes, true, but it really helps to have the science as to how powerful practice really is. Then people can pursue/motivate their children/students to pursue steadfast practice with confidence and unwavering commitment, even though results mightn't be immediately visible to any of these people.
Omg. Having just watched this. I am so impressed by your statements. The research and inspiration of every time you do something you learn a new skill. Having had a stoke at 50 and having worked in healthcare for most of my life. I practiced what you talked about. Life long learning. Changing the brain to learn new skills to support long term memories. I’m grateful to have watched this. Even such a long time after. This confirms my goal for changing my brain chemistry . Along with great support for stroke patients. It’s such a long term recovery which you are left to recover by yourself. I recall being told that I could not come to rehab anymore. Such a difficult situation for me. But I’m still here 13 years later. Driving change for myself doing the work. Thanks for the journey. Keep doing what matters.
Face it guys. The title is accurate. Your brain did change from watching this video - and you did learn something, however miniscule. The only thing the majority of you are disappointed about, is the fact that the video didn't 'wow' you in the process - probably because the majority of you are fortunate enough to be able to take information about learning for granted. Unlike people who have suffered from things like stroke. Personally, even though this video covered things I mostly already knew, it was a positive reaffirmation - like, "Keep practicing, and working smart. Difficult situations are not ones that we like, but the ones that provide the potential for the greatest learning."
TED and TEDx hired some marketing & social media team to get clicks. It must be working, just like those intentionally badly written Nigerian Prince scams. But the content is usually pretty good and worth watching.
Lara Boyd, thank you for this talk. As a PT of 30+ years, i agree every rehab is unique. Learning is the very best thing for keeping a person's mind able. As time has progressed for myself, i have decided to chage careers. Going back to school and earning another degree in another field has proven very exciting. Who knows in another 30 years maybe another at 91. May we all love the learning that can come with every day!
Shes speaking my language 😌 so good to hear it out loud coming from someone else. Not one cancer is the same for anyone. I tattoo a cancer research scientist , when I asked her about the possibilities of a “cure” for cancer in the near future, she described cancer to me as an “individuals internal perfect storm” , and that a general “cure” unfortunately isn’t possible, coz all diseases while they attack us in the same kind of way, they react differently with us individually… it’s why some people get amazing results like spontaneous healing and others do not have the same luck 😔 Why some people like my step grandfather is still alive & smoking in to his late 90s… & why others like my dad who was generally a pretty clean & healthy man all his life -never smoked a ciggies ever! - still died of brain cancer after diagnosis 4 years earlier… this was really wonderful to listen to. Thankyou 🙏
Hello pretty lady how are you doing, please i got attracted to your photo here on youtube please add me here on whatsapp and let's chat to know each other for better + 14242616274
"...everything you do, everything you encounter, everything you experience - is changing your brain/ And that can be for better ... or worse." This really helps me, thank you Professor Boyd.
This speech was given Nov 14 2015 My life turned upside down on Nov.15.2015 Major Stroke There are many reasons why some people recover and some don't Number one reason in my opinion, is your determination to be mobile and independent. I know and speak with experience, if I wasn't I would still be paralyzed, sitting in a wheel chair watching this.
It's fascinating to witness the impact of TEDx events on both local and global scales. The ripple effects of these gatherings extend far beyond their physical locations, reaching and inspiring countless individuals.
I am 70, and had a severe stroke at age 64. Took me 2 years of being in different hospitals, for both treatment, and therapy, to get to living in my own place independently. Any group living is a horror, but my tenacity, and belief in God, led me to resolve to recover my independence. Friends and family will help in the short term, but time quickly comes to discard them, and their negativity. God Bless!
One thing that I understand after watching this video is that many of us have a tendency to listen and focus what others do.... But today after this, it helped me a lot in changing my ideology towards my learning.... And this will also help me to achieve greater things in future
The way she talks, carries herself, it screams confidence and everything about her speech was so articulate and also I'm just looking at her biceps- I'm tryna be like herrrr
"Large doses of Practice" "Each individual requires their own intervention" I really like your profound view on preparing the brains of people for neuroplasticity, with an importance on varying the approaches. Keep up the awesome work, doc! Try bringing this to the UBC psych wards and the other neurological departments, it could be incredibly beneficial ☮️❤️ No patient should be given up on, we all can learn to become more in tune with our higher selves & shouldn't be simply prescribed generalized medicine when it's clear that all our brains are unique
Customized treatment, diet, exercise, education, training, activities, etc. I hope one day people learn more about the collective benefiting most by cultivating the individuals. 🇺🇸✌🏻
Takeaway: Your behavior is the most important thing that affects your brain so watch your behavior good as well as bad. Learning new things changes our brain but only when we keep repeating and doing it same goes with your habits and thoughts. So watch your bcoz you have the power to make it more strong or weak.
You are correct in a stint Our thoughts effectively manipulate our behaviour to make us to ok with what we display now think about this Thoughts leads to your behaviour Enough thoughts form a trait in a being Be good or bad thoughts effectively change your behaviour That trait that has been used in every day extension it is what we call a personality Would you agree?
Well done keep going doing amazing things stay strong stay positive stay safe I have hypoxia brain injury I died 26minutes spent weeks months in coma rehab hospital learning talk walk again been a recovery massive discovery never ever give up on yourself many will never yourselves keep going doing amazing things sending luck hugs love from headway Nottingham UK takecare everyone xx
"Practice makes you learn" "Many people can work hard with the same effort but all are unique and learn things at different pace" "Your behaviour can affect how you learn and develop" "Chemical + structural + funtional changes = neuroplasticity. Change behaviour = change neuroplasticity" Thats wat i understood
In the last few years, I have gone back to this video many times and every time I watch it, I learn a little more about how the human brain works. The knowledge dropped is DEEP, and the great production - coupled with dope sounds - makes it very engaging to listen. How amiable is that - Dr. Lara Boyd is indeed one of the sharpest brains I have ever crossed paths with. It's amazing to me how she seems to break down complex ideas in very simple and down to earth ways. Not only is she a stellar neuroscientist, but she is also an amazing public speaker. I am very excited to dive more into her talks and content. Many thanks to Dr. Lara Boyd and the TEDx Talks team for providing a wealth of useful content!
I thank you Lara Boyd for motivating my daughter when thing went really had for her. It was really so bad that she attempted committing murder until you invited Mrs Lyra Holt Dean for your TED show program. Am really so grateful for her finical assistance in my daughters life thank you so much once again.
I see please do you mind if i know how this woman helped you cause i have been hearing people testifying i really want to know who this Mrs Lyra Holt Dean is. I even searched her name on goggle she was all over but i want to confirm if she can help me too.
@@bennyhinnministries3027 Honestly is not something we can talk about on the comment section i can give you her direct so you can contact@lyraholtdean; KOM that her direct mail feel free talking to her and thank me later SMILES.
"Test scores and measures of achievement tell you where a student is, but they don’t tell you where a student could end up." --Carol Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
I suffered a TBI 2013, this is exactly what I've felt or tried tell my therapist for so long. I've gotten so much better from where I initially started . I'm in no way trying to disrespect the people that were recovering alongside of myself but I could see eventually there were people ahead of me and others I was more advanced than. I would on a daily basis fight with recovery while combating anger because I felt held back. What Lara explained about each person needing an individual way of help from a dr or therapist is so true. I agreed with everything she said. I've felt the good and bad personally from the prospective of doing the work to get better. Some days I could care less then on others after giving myself a talking to, I would get back in there and go at it again . I'm now attending community College to e eventually be a mental health therapist. This all coming from a person that was run over, 6 month coma , 6 strokes , internal injuries along with whatever life continues to throw at you. The clock doesn't stop just because I was injured. Thank you very much . Finally someone hit it on the head. Figuratively speaking. Lol
For the people after the stroke only one thing is necessary: peace, silence, quite and lovely environment, people who can care with love and tender.....thats all.
I have made a list of negative thoughts that frequently occur in a diary (they are around My ex, childhood trauma, health anxiety, my pregnancy and so on). I have listed right next to the page in big bold letters my grandest vision for myself ie my goal. Each time one of those thoughts occur I ask myself what would I rather have? The “pleasure” of replaying this story that happened 20 years ago or my grand vision? I choose the grand vision each time and that’s how I’m teaching myself. I’m not perfect and also frequently forget to ask this question of myself, but I’m trying everyday. I’ll conquer.
I am so happy to watch this TED talk by chance, I gain a lot. When you know that you have a strong role in shaping the productivity and improvement of your brain, trying to do your best would be the result. Thank you
She explains that every experience, habit, and learning moment shapes our brain in ways we might not realize. Her insights highlight that not only can the brain heal from injuries like strokes, but it can also continuously evolve through learning and exercise.This empowers us to take charge of our own brain health by engaging in meaningful activities and learning new things. Overall, the talk is both inspiring and informative, emphasizing that change is always possible.
Thank you Lara for your informative presentation. The brain amazes me, after many years of addictive behaviours some of which I still carry today, although I am now on a 10 week plan to quit nicotine and, God willing, that will finally render me drug free, I still suffer from crippling anxiety. Understanding my brain more and learning to put advice into practice helps me a lot and although I procrastinate and find it difficult to ask and answer questions I am learning to do things badly as I have a greater understanding that repetition is the key to unlocking my true potential, recovering who I really am. To do this I have a support network building who are like minded people with an understanding of my disabilities who I hope can help me to turn these into my greatest abilities. I am choosing to learn something new everyday.
I like the line of "learning new skills and relearning older motor skills" Keep learning, make repetations, do practice, make improvements in ur behaviour
I’m so glad that speaker confirmed that you don’t have to be neuroscientist to understand brain, because we all know that there’s so called “Brainwashed”which influenced by outside sources even good or bad experiences we have, such as cult or your abusive relationship or even evangelical churches will changes brain chemicals and how quickly we became their hostages. That’s why we have to train our brain with respect by spreading love, be a peace-maker for your neighbor and be joyful all the time for yourself!😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️
although its been 9 months, have you ever heard of lobotomy? you are forcefully changing the brain. has it worked? yes but its a last resort surgery for mental illness patients who all other ways of treatments have failed.
I personally found out that through meditation that I can balance what the subconscious mind retains compared what the conscious mind cannot remember. I believe the chemical reactions of the brain changes and activates those neurons to fire up for conscious memory. It becomes more photographic as time goes on. As long as I am not distracted by normal human interaction. It is like the old saying goes. " If You Don't Use It, You Lose It." That goes with everything in life.

🦋My mother would read to me and my siblings before bed as a child. And I would fall asleep almost immediately. But somehow my subconscious remembered things she read! I love audio books because if I fall asleep I still learn it. But when I experienced trauma my brain changed in the way that I process things I hear or see.🦋
Nice talk. One thing to consider is, that some of us have a very receptive brain that isn't made to and doesn't need to focus to receive information, you just have to be present. On the other side we have people with very strategic and focused brains that need to actively focus to receive information. for example, my brain is receptive and I was miserable in school because I was either asleep due to the subject or the way it was introduced being incredibly boring and uninteresting, or because I was surrounded by people for several hours each day (and some of us are not made to be surrounded by other people's energy field 24/7). I don't need to focus to learn, I just need to be present and undistracted. Some of us also have very active and others passive brains that need less energy to run. Fascinating stuff and the current education system is outdated, obsolete and only really works for the active, strategic and focused brains and not the passive, receptive and peripheral brains.
Carolina Lega I'm studying it for about a year or two yes. It's the best thing that ever happened to "education". That said, being a PRR DRR I've noticed a lot of things about myself and others around me from a very young age, so I had lots of questions before I even heard of HD.
Einstein wrote bumper stickers? Who knew? I couldn’t find an original source for this quote, but I know he was much too smart to make absolute, all-encompassing declarative statements like this.
It's never too late to learn this important knowledge. It can let us understand more about the process of our brains. It can make us learn effectively and do better in our life. That's amazing.
I recently came up with an idea//theory what I think is often missed and what influences how quickly you can pick up a new skill: What you already know. When two people starting from zero learning... whatever, lets say snowboarding, then they dont really start from 0. Both learned two walk and balance standing at age of 2, which is an essential requirement for snowboarding. But since then "snowboard preparation" can vary. Maybe one generally played more outside, running around, balancing on things, riding bike etc.. Just riding the bike subconsciously may train them to get a feeling for moving objects/moving themselves. How you have to lean to the side when taking a curve. Obviously that doesn't mean, that the cyclist can pick up snowboarding right away, he will still have to practice a lot. But I can imagine that the person that usually plays music and watches TV has more trouble. Maybe some kids who played a lot of puzzle learned patience and determination and those who played a lot of memory learned to memorize things and set a path to keep memorizing other things and keep improving in memorizing. Every new skill we learn is actually a combination of thousands of "basic" skills (like walking, standing, memorizing...) and this might be more obvious when a cyclists starts to ride a motor bike but I think being good at many seemingly unrelated skills might have a similar effect than being good in a few similar skills when learning something new. And because we often dont understand how existing skills help to learn new skills, it seems like some people just learn fast and better, when in fact they just might have advantages from other skills.

Short term memory- send singnal to neuron Long term memory- change the pattern of sending singnal to neuron 🙂 Study how and what is learn best for you...
You're right Raj. She is making that point. The whole talk is stating the obvious using fancy scientific terms. I don't even know if TED should have better named the video or should have asked her to create better content.
It's not so much stating the obvious using fancy terms, it's more explaining the obvious's scientific and chemical process in the brain using the terms that go along with that fields method of explaining things. The point of these talks is to share ideas and not just amongst the highly educated but those at the entry level too. Given that context she did fine, and the point of a catchy title is to promote good content. As long as all their clickbaits end up panning out in terms of quality I have no issue.

"Everything you do, everything you encounter and everything you experience is changing your brain." I love these lines.
Experience of changing
I experiment and feel this change in my brain always if a girl rejects me 😁
@@faulerhund2725 ââaââ
So our brains are constantly changing?
Yes 😁
“When you leave today, go out and build the brain you want”
Manifest and PRACTICE the positive things that will give a healthy long term life for your brain. This really changed my perspective moving forward. I’m so glad I came across this!
What's the exact meaning of manifest.please elaborate
@@imperfect_kay Bring into existence. For example. From imagining something
to drawing it to you by making, purchasing, or causing it to exist through
combining visualization with belief that it already exists, perhaps meditating
and using positive affirmations. Different people believe in different ways of manifesting.
We can perhaps manifest better health by living a life of giving and being positive. .
@@imperfect_kay simple, chose the right question. For example, instead of asking your self "can I do it?", you better ask youself "how to do it?"..
Can i do it? If your answer is YES, you will do it but if your answer is NO, you will leave it. But if your question is "how to do it?, automatically your brain will work regardless of either you were able to do it or not.
Every morning, try to ask this question "what should I do today?" Automatically, your brain will work and exercising its motor skills.
Instead of asking yourself, "what should I learn today?" Why not asking yourself "what should I improved today?"..
What should I learn today? Question will force your brain to think that it is a new skills and it will automatically be catagorised as a temporary memory. High probably you will forget about it later. But if you ask you self "what should I improved today?" It will force your brain to put it at the long memory because it is not new, you were just improving something (it change the brain structure faster.).
Socrates says, questions everthing.
I said, question everything but chosing the right question is even important.
Note: this is based on my observation between people who have positive minds and negative minds around me. You may agree or you may disagree.

Brief:
Three levels of changes in neuroplasticity for learning:
* chemical changes for short-term memory,
* structure changes for long-term memory,
* functional changes for shifting brain areas.
The most interesting ideas are that:
* our brain will be shaped structurally and functionally by our behavior!
* difficulty during practicing lead to more changes in the brain (more efficient?)
Everyone is his own designer for his brain and be aware of our daily habit!
Hope you learn new skills more effictively.
Thanks

Neuroplasticity - the fact that our brain can repair and improve itself... is one of the most important discoveries of recent times. It will change the way we think... learn... grow... and relate to each other. The more we know our own brains... the better we can be.
In a disruptively evolving world... this is one area we MUST FOCUS ON. This is a great video to watch and learn from.
100% agree. This should be the world's main focus
+Jason Hall yes it should. no doubt about it.
Ian Faria I think neuroscience in general has so much to offer us, the world just needs to stop it's bullshit and get on board :)
I do believe that the world is getting the picture... and the more we spread the message the better.
Just want to ask one question, what does the stroke mean here ? Is it becuase of physical damage or trauma ?

I think the most important note was “The Primary driver of change in your brain is your behavior, so there’s no neuroplasticity drug that you can take. Nothing is more effective than practice at helping you learn. Bottom line is that you have to do the work. Increased struggle if you will, during practice, actually leads to both more learning and greater structural change in the brain”

Thanks you saved me 14 mins of pointless blabla 😂
My father had a stroke years ago due to alcohol he has given up on himself from learning the ability of walking and talking. It's hard at times but over the years I've been aiding him with almost everything. I just wish he can refine his will power and try to learn. It has been 11 years he had a stroke at 30 y old , please care for your body and brain. If you have kids please change your life for them. I've been taking care of him since 11. I'm now 22 and it has completely changed my aspect of life from other kids in their 20s. Live long and prosper guys☺️
You are a good person, man. Hope he gets better and hope you have a great life ahead.
thank you for sharing this here...I'm sure caring for your father has matured you and given you such empathy, I'm a mother and I'm addicted to cigarettes (gross I know) well anyways, this video helps me to think I can quit easier and faster...I've done it before so I know it can be done. I want to be healthy for my son ! I hope your father gets well.
+sholanda Williams thank you for your lovely comment and hey I understand your addiction to cigarettes. How do I understand? Because I use to be hooked on cigarettes since i was 15 I have tried nicotine patches and it just doubled my addiction crave. I'm 22 now and Tobacco free. No one will ever understand your addiction unless they go through it. It takes a hold of you and makes you think that you need it while you never notice that it's controlling you. When I turned 21i told myself I need to stop this. First step I tried is to smoke less , well that didn't work. , second step nicotine patches , well that didn't work. Third step ,I took a step backwards I told my self if someone gave me a candy bar and told me to eat it with no label on it and no nutrition label on it would I eat it? Hell no it could kill me right? Soo I took a different approach.. ya ya we all know it causes cancer.. but we hear that soo much that it just doesn't affect us..
+sholanda Williams my suggestion is educate yourself on what nicotine does to your body and mind. I spent countless time on the internet reading and watching videos about how nicotine affects your body and mind, and after 3 months I quit COLD TURKEY I never looked back on cigarettes again the day before I quit I smoked about a pack , and then that night I watched more videos and the next morning I never looked at them again , get a gym membership, run a mile sweat it out. If I can do it soo can you hun , good love and may god be with you.❤️

@Nekes12 ooh. Do you have the primary camera opened? What she shared is highly important for rehabilitation centers. Try visiting one before you type fancy words in a public window kid.
“Build the brain you want” I don’t know about you guys but that might be the most inspiring thing I’ve ever heard.
So main point:
1. Practice - hard work works
2. Everyone learns differently
That is why we need personalised education!
That is why universities should be opensourced and there should be no restrictions on study flexibility.
Or age grouping and splitting the progression of the subject per grade. Just imagine, you come to school, and the teacher knows how you learn and you have no limitation how much you can learn or in what time simply because you like the subject so much. I hated that personally, I was like "yay, finally something that peaks my interest" and the teacher goes "Next year". Fuck off, that's just backwards, just like the education system.
People like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc.dropped out of college not because they didn't believe in education but it was too slow for them and not focused on what answers they wanted. Formal education can only be a starting point for life long learners.
Higher education on the Internet, I believe, will be a disruptive technology for the traditional universities. Imagine going to lectures given by the best professors in the world and only costing $100 per semester.
Now a days a student in Africa can surf MIT lectures on TH-cam. Isn't it amazing? I believe within next decade or so, bulk universities will be inside the Internet.

I was so amazed by this particular TED talk. I suffered a massive stroke at the age of 30. Thankfully, it was a year later when my doctor told me I should have died or been severely limited. I came home from the hospital and couldn't read. I took my son's books and read them. I journaled every task I did at work. And 23 years later, if you didn't know me then, you would never know I had a stroke.
*science: everybody learns differently. *education system: imma ignore that.

If you want to learn something faster, grow an intrest to it. Some people learn faster, because they are interested on the subject that they are learning.
Understanding knowledge, is power

David Valdivieso Delgado at first getting high used to take away stress, like give a fake or temporary relief... But after repeated use it made me more depressed n then it made me more depressed about being dependent on drug
Sameer Pradhan i get too concious while being high , i hate the feelibg happens with weed lsd and same drugs
Sameer Pradhan of what you were addicted and how you handle the high
David Valdivieso Delgado you aren't doing them anymore right? Started with alcohol n cigarette followed by weed n hash, n then I came along a lsd circle .... I didn't took heavy doses of lsd even little made me high, but was doing it every other day

Points:
Neuroplasticity is supported by chemical, structural and functional changes.
The primary driver for neuroplastic change in the brain is behavior. Nothing is more effective for changing the brain than practice.
Patterns of neuroplasticity can vary dramatically from person to person.
Neuroplastic change can be positive or negative. The brain is shaped by what we do and what we don't do.

Basically, keep learning, keep growing.
What you want to learn, inculcate it into your behaviour, and your brain will build pathways in thag direction. (Happened to me)
For those of us who have developed negative thought patterns, and don't know how to feel positive about some traits of ours, try neutral thoughts instead.
If your first thought is negative (in whatever context you want to change), try to make sure your second or third or any response that you manage is positive, or at the very least, neutral.
And don't try to rationalise wrong things. Like a friend of mine is always like, 'but why would I care?' they say that but they constantly keep worrying about whatever they think is their unpleasant trait.
Don't just outwardly act like your good. Think you're good and the right kind of person you need to be. Keep learning and don't let the voices of your inner critics hold you back.
The point is you have the power to CHANGE your brain through behavioral habit. This is huge because it was always believed after you become an adult you were stuck with what you have. This means that a 65 year old truck driver could become a world class violinist IF he puts in the time for behavioral habit. If you can't see the value in that message then, well, enjoy a dull life.
True as I learned my 6th foreign language well into my 50's.
MIchiel deRuyter Congratulations.
No sir.
A 65 truck driver will never become a world class violinist, even if he has the remaining decades left to form a habit.
He might be able to play rudimentary scales, notes and other beginners tunes, but NEVER will he be even on the same planet as a World Class violinist.
How did you ever come up with such outrageously wrong opinions.
Change of brain is fractional at best the older you get. In a lifetime of diligent application you might get a 5% increase in mental horsepower.
But, the brain does like the New new thing. So exposing oneself to the news, periodically, like a new language, is possible. Playing the violin or any musical instrument at world class levels is more akin to your basic ability in higher and higher mathematics, not just memory.
We won't even go into the level of intelligence a world class violinist needs to have compared to a truck driver with average intelligence.
Congratulations

This video will change my life. I believed that my brain couldn't be changed because I'm not a teenager.
but you got me. and I'll do my best to live today and change my behavior for learning.
This video is underrated. Take the time to watch it.
1. Increased struggle during practice leads to more learning. We are shaped by everything that we don't do.
2nd lesson: there is no recipe for learning. The shaping of our brain is so unique. Each individual requires their own intervention including treatment of stroke. The behaviors we employ every day are important so we need personalized learning. Each of us change our brain differently.
Study how and what you learn best. Repeat those habits. Everything we are experiencing is changing our brain for better or for worse.
Wait so should I study subjects that come easier to me or should I study subjects I'm worse at?
Thanks for this contribution.
More like overrated.
No break throughs here
it's probably because of the cringey clickbaity title
Before, your string of thoughts and actions would have been
'I need to do this' -> Not actually doing it -> 'I really need to do this' -> Feeling stronger resistance -> 'I need to do this no matter what' -> Feeling self-remorse
But through relaxation, your action patterns will change as the following:
'I should do this' -> Not actually doing it -> Relaxation -> Feeling lower resistance
In such a way, you break away from the pattern of increasing your level of resistance, and create an opportunity to at least begin the work you need to do.
search youtube "paradox of I can do it"
As someone who has suffered from 4 strokes in the past, I can relate to everything Lara Boyd explains when she talks about the difficultly some people have when learning a new skill. I can also relate to the idea that medicine has not reached a point where it is helping stroke patients with what they really require for rehabilitation, and further help with their individual futures. My strokes disabled motor functions on one side of my body, caused a speech impediment and left me half-blind. All this is physical, yet behind all these see-able problems lingers the mental chaos that accompanies stokes, like learning new skills and dealing with the frustration of watching many others solve and master equal skills far easier.
I hope for the sake of future generations, and even those who struggle today, that something simple - like this talk - can motivate those (stroke patient or not) to focus clearer and adjust their strategies for learning new or old skills.
Wow, one thing you can be proud of is how well spoken you are when you put your thougths on paper. I wish id have the ease to express myself but i dont, and you know what? Ive never had a stroke. I am happy youve overcame that the best you could. You have kept the best peaces of yourself clearly ❤️

Here is some help for your mom ok, and others too: (I feel concern for those who have had head injuries) Your poor mom, on a positive note SHE WILL DO FINE. Here's how People can get back their memory. Many parts of the brain can CONNECT us with past memories. We may forget directly what color shirt someone was wearing at some time BUT may TRIGGER ause be
Notes: Long-term learning is from increased struggle of practices. The more you struggle in learning, the more it creates long-term effect. What you do everyday shapes your brain so if to learn something, practice it everyday with so much effort. Also if you want to be better, make sure you do and surround yourself only with what's healthy for your self.
To save you 15 minutes of your time, practicing a skill will help you learn it. You're welcome.

lol, good shot.
lol, thank you! I was about to watch it inspite of my examination tomorrow, I'd better go and study
Yes, true, but it really helps to have the science as to how powerful practice really is. Then people can pursue/motivate their children/students to pursue steadfast practice with confidence and unwavering commitment, even though results mightn't be immediately visible to any of these people.

Omg. Having just watched this. I am so impressed by your statements. The research and inspiration of every time you do something you learn a new skill. Having had a stoke at 50 and having worked in healthcare for most of my life. I practiced what you talked about. Life long learning. Changing the brain to learn new skills to support long term memories. I’m grateful to have watched this. Even such a long time after. This confirms my goal for changing my brain chemistry . Along with great support for stroke patients. It’s such a long term recovery which you are left to recover by yourself. I recall being told that I could not come to rehab anymore. Such a difficult situation for me. But I’m still here 13 years later. Driving change for myself doing the work. Thanks for the journey. Keep doing what matters.
Face it guys. The title is accurate. Your brain did change from watching this video - and you did learn something, however miniscule. The only thing the majority of you are disappointed about, is the fact that the video didn't 'wow' you in the process - probably because the majority of you are fortunate enough to be able to take information about learning for granted. Unlike people who have suffered from things like stroke. Personally, even though this video covered things I mostly already knew, it was a positive reaffirmation - like, "Keep practicing, and working smart. Difficult situations are not ones that we like, but the ones that provide the potential for the greatest learning."
our brain is so flexible. we could change our brain through our behaviors, new habits , learning new things.
“go out and build the brain you want... “ so inspiring ❤️

Lara Boyd, thank you for this talk. As a PT of 30+ years, i agree every rehab is unique. Learning is the very best thing for keeping a person's mind able.

Who knows in another 30 years maybe another at 91. May we all love the learning that can come with every day!
Shes speaking my language 😌 so good to hear it out loud coming from someone else. Not one cancer is the same for anyone. I tattoo a cancer research scientist , when I asked her about the possibilities of a “cure” for cancer in the near future, she described cancer to me as an “individuals internal perfect storm” , and that a general “cure” unfortunately isn’t possible, coz all diseases while they attack us in the same kind of way, they react differently with us individually… it’s why some people get amazing results like spontaneous healing and others do not have the same luck 😔 Why some people like my step grandfather is still alive & smoking in to his late 90s… & why others like my dad who was generally a pretty clean & healthy man all his life -never smoked a ciggies ever! - still died of brain cancer after diagnosis 4 years earlier… this was really wonderful to listen to.

It's fascinating to witness the impact of TEDx events on both local and global scales. The ripple effects of these gatherings extend far beyond their physical locations, reaching and inspiring countless individuals.
I am 70, and had a severe stroke at age 64. Took me 2 years of being in different hospitals, for both treatment, and therapy, to get to living in my own place independently. Any group living is a horror, but my tenacity, and belief in God, led me to resolve to recover my independence.

Takeaway:
Your behavior is the most important thing that affects your brain so watch your behavior good as well as bad. Learning new things changes our brain but only when we keep repeating and doing it same goes with your habits and thoughts. So watch your bcoz you have the power to make it more strong or weak.
You are correct in a stint
Our thoughts effectively manipulate our behaviour to make us to ok with what we display now think about this
Thoughts leads to your behaviour
Enough thoughts form a trait in a being
Be good or bad thoughts effectively change your behaviour
That trait that has been used in every day extension it is what we call a personality
Would you agree?

Thats wat i understood
Exactly!
We didn't get a lunch, free trip or a hotel room. I guess the PowerPoint summary was amazing. It was the entire idea in less than 20 seconds!
Thanks dude,you help me with my assignment
Good
i am here to confess a point that TEDx is doing good job i appreciate it so much that doing life changing talks
thanks for your good job
I love these T talks. They’re always so satisfying and fulfilling. They’re also a great example of wonderful human progress.
In the last few years, I have gone back to this video many times and every time I watch it, I learn a little more about how the human brain works. The knowledge dropped is DEEP, and the great production - coupled with dope sounds - makes it very engaging to listen. How amiable is that - Dr. Lara Boyd is indeed one of the sharpest brains I have ever crossed paths with. It's amazing to me how she seems to break down complex ideas in very simple and down to earth ways. Not only is she a stellar neuroscientist, but she is also an amazing public speaker. I am very excited to dive more into her talks and content. Many thanks to Dr. Lara Boyd and the TEDx Talks team for providing a wealth of useful content!
I wish I had teachers like this in school. I enjoyed every second of this
I thank you Lara Boyd for motivating my daughter when thing went really had for her.
It was really so bad that she attempted committing murder until you invited Mrs Lyra Holt Dean for your TED show program.
Am really so grateful for her finical assistance in my daughters life thank you so much once again.
I see please do you mind if i know how this woman helped you cause i have been hearing people testifying i really want to know who this Mrs Lyra Holt Dean is. I even searched her name on goggle she was all over but i want to confirm if she can help me too.
@@bennyhinnministries3027 Honestly is not something we can talk about on the comment section i can give you her direct so you can contact@lyraholtdean; KOM that her direct mail feel free talking to her and thank me later SMILES.
Well I’m just gonna grab my pop corn and watch this episode how to get away with murder plz talks here
Did you mean sucide? Murder and sucide are very different

I suffered a TBI 2013, this is exactly what I've felt or tried tell my therapist for so long. I've gotten so much better from where I initially started . I'm in no way trying to disrespect the people that were recovering alongside of myself but I could see eventually there were people ahead of me and others I was more advanced than. I would on a daily basis fight with recovery while combating anger because I felt held back. What Lara explained about each person needing an individual way of help from a dr or therapist is so true. I agreed with everything she said. I've felt the good and bad personally from the prospective of doing the work to get better. Some days I could care less then on others after giving myself a talking to, I would get back in there and go at it again . I'm now attending community College to e eventually be a mental health therapist. This all coming from a person that was run over, 6 month coma , 6 strokes , internal injuries along with whatever life continues to throw at you. The clock doesn't stop just because I was injured.
Thank you very much . Finally someone hit it on the head. Figuratively speaking. Lol
Much blessings to you my comrade.. you are a good motivator and a true survivor.. ✌
For the people after the stroke only one thing is necessary: peace, silence, quite and lovely environment, people who can care with love and tender.....thats all.

Hardest part is having drive to continue the repetition. Passion, emotion are great drivers but beneath lies desire. Without desire it is lost.
I have made a list of negative thoughts that frequently occur in a diary (they are around My ex, childhood trauma, health anxiety, my pregnancy and so on). I have listed right next to the page in big bold letters my grandest vision for myself ie my goal. Each time one of those thoughts occur I ask myself what would I rather have? The “pleasure” of replaying this story that happened 20 years ago or my grand vision? I choose the grand vision each time and that’s how I’m teaching myself. I’m not perfect and also frequently forget to ask this question of myself, but I’m trying everyday. I’ll conquer.
Conclusion: -Every brain is unique and requires its own personalized learning pattern. That insight unfortunately did not change my brain a lot.
not very insightful :/
Thank you for the summary.
You didn't notice, as you millions and millions of other things changed your brain too. It was too insignificant of an amount to get noticed.
I literally said, "hey Google, play a really interesting podcast on TH-cam."
I was not at all disappointed. 🤔
I am so happy to watch this TED talk by chance, I gain a lot. When you know that you have a strong role in shaping the productivity and improvement of your brain, trying to do your best would be the result. Thank you
She explains that every experience, habit, and learning moment shapes our brain in ways we might not realize. Her insights highlight that not only can the brain heal from injuries like strokes, but it can also continuously evolve through learning and exercise.This empowers us to take charge of our own brain health by engaging in meaningful activities and learning new things. Overall, the talk is both inspiring and informative, emphasizing that change is always possible.
My prof discussed this during our Ergo class. It is all about Cognitive skills and how brain process the informations. This video helps me a lot.
Thank you Lara for your informative presentation. The brain amazes me, after many years of addictive behaviours some of which I still carry today, although I am now on a 10 week plan to quit nicotine and, God willing, that will finally render me drug free, I still suffer from crippling anxiety.
Understanding my brain more and learning to put advice into practice helps me a lot and although I procrastinate and find it difficult to ask and answer questions I am learning to do things badly as I have a greater understanding that repetition is the key to unlocking my true potential, recovering who I really am.
To do this I have a support network building who are like minded people with an understanding of my disabilities who I hope can help me to turn these into my greatest abilities.
I am choosing to learn something new everyday.

I agree my brain will never be the same again, I will now not fall for click bait
BAJ , Trama
lol! :)
It wasn't click bait. It's just that you are misleaded by the title.. xD..
I like the line of "learning new skills and relearning older motor skills"
Keep learning, make repetations, do practice, make improvements in ur behaviour
So basically meditation and internal positive talk is magic
I’m so glad that speaker confirmed that you don’t have to be neuroscientist to understand brain, because we all know that there’s so called “Brainwashed”which influenced by outside sources even good or bad experiences we have, such as cult or your abusive relationship or even evangelical churches will changes brain chemicals and how quickly we became their hostages. That’s why we have to train our brain with respect by spreading love, be a peace-maker for your neighbor and be joyful all the time for yourself!😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️
although its been 9 months, have you ever heard of lobotomy? you are forcefully changing the brain. has it worked? yes but its a last resort surgery for mental illness patients who all other ways of treatments have failed.
Nothing is important than practice. Different folks, different learning curves, thus, different approach. ❤️
I personally found out that through meditation that I can balance what the subconscious mind retains compared what the conscious mind cannot remember. I believe the chemical reactions of the brain changes and activates those neurons to fire up for conscious memory. It becomes more photographic as time goes on. As long as I am not distracted by normal human interaction. It is like the old saying goes. " If You Don't Use It, You Lose It." That goes with everything in life.

🦋My mother would read to me and my siblings before bed as a child. And I would fall asleep almost immediately. But somehow my subconscious remembered things she read! I love audio books because if I fall asleep I still learn it. But when I experienced trauma my brain changed in the way that I process things I hear or see.🦋
Nice talk. One thing to consider is, that some of us have a very receptive brain that isn't made to and doesn't need to focus to receive information, you just have to be present. On the other side we have people with very strategic and focused brains that need to actively focus to receive information. for example, my brain is receptive and I was miserable in school because I was either asleep due to the subject or the way it was introduced being incredibly boring and uninteresting, or because I was surrounded by people for several hours each day (and some of us are not made to be surrounded by other people's energy field 24/7). I don't need to focus to learn, I just need to be present and undistracted. Some of us also have very active and others passive brains that need less energy to run. Fascinating stuff and the current education system is outdated, obsolete and only really works for the active, strategic and focused brains and not the passive, receptive and peripheral brains.
interesting there is a distinction between the educated and the uneducated
Pursue Yourdreams What do you mean :)?
Are you a student of Human Design and Ra Uru Hu by any chance?
Carolina Lega I'm studying it for about a year or two yes. It's the best thing that ever happened to "education". That said, being a PRR DRR I've noticed a lot of things about myself and others around me from a very young age, so I had lots of questions before I even heard of HD.
Agreed!! I can totally relate!
I wish she was my professor. I can listen to her all day.

Amid the Talk, I took one hour out to complete a project I had been postponing. That was powerful! "Go out there and create the brain you want! "
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

Einstein wrote bumper stickers? Who knew?
I couldn’t find an original source for this quote, but I know he was much too smart to make absolute, all-encompassing declarative statements like this.
Everything you do, Everything you encounter and everything you experience is changing your brain
It's never too late to learn this important knowledge. It can let us understand more about the process of our brains. It can make us learn effectively and do better in our life.
That's amazing.
What do i do im 21 years old xD
I recently came up with an idea//theory what I think is often missed and what influences how quickly you can pick up a new skill:
What you already know.
When two people starting from zero learning... whatever, lets say snowboarding, then they dont really start from 0. Both learned two walk and balance standing at age of 2, which is an essential requirement for snowboarding. But since then "snowboard preparation" can vary. Maybe one generally played more outside, running around, balancing on things, riding bike etc.. Just riding the bike subconsciously may train them to get a feeling for moving objects/moving themselves. How you have to lean to the side when taking a curve.
Obviously that doesn't mean, that the cyclist can pick up snowboarding right away, he will still have to practice a lot. But I can imagine that the person that usually plays music and watches TV has more trouble. Maybe some kids who played a lot of puzzle learned patience and determination and those who played a lot of memory learned to memorize things and set a path to keep memorizing other things and keep improving in memorizing.
Every new skill we learn is actually a combination of thousands of "basic" skills (like walking, standing, memorizing...) and this might be more obvious when a cyclists starts to ride a motor bike but I think being good at many seemingly unrelated skills might have a similar effect than being good in a few similar skills when learning something new.
And because we often dont understand how existing skills help to learn new skills, it seems like some people just learn fast and better, when in fact they just might have advantages from other skills.
This is an excellent theory ♥️💐
"There's no point having a mind if you cannot change it"

I mean, to be honest, your brain will not be the same after anything you do actually... so...
thats what she meant...
I was your 69'th like :p
***** Buď to jsou pitomci, nebo to mysleli nějak jinak, jako že se nemůže změnit jinak, než buněčně, nebo tak nějak... Každopádně v mozku se dá změnit téměř cokoliv, ale myslím, že stářím se ta ohebnost dost zhoršuje.
***** Ano! Avšak často mozky starších lidí nefungují správně, přesně proto, jelikož se nevytváří moc nových spojů, jelikož svůj mozek dostatečně nezatěžují a nevyužívají. S určitou dávkou síly se dá z leváka udělat praváka a z někoho, kdo má děravou paměť, někoho, kdo si zapamatuje každé slovo, tyhle proměny však potřebuje značnou dávku času, trpělivosti, síly a motivace.
Já osobně jsem zvědav, co dalšího přinese umělá inteligence do našeho porozumění procesů v mozku a přemýšlení.
that's sort of this whole speech summarized
The way Dr. Boyd presents the information is perfect.

Long term memory- change the pattern of sending singnal to neuron 🙂

Dear TEDx Team, you really do not need to use clickbait titles.
It may be a bit eye catchy but it's relevant to the point she's making. In fact, it is the point she's making given context.
You're right Raj. She is making that point. The whole talk is stating the obvious using fancy scientific terms. I don't even know if TED should have better named the video or should have asked her to create better content.
It's not so much stating the obvious using fancy terms, it's more explaining the obvious's scientific and chemical process in the brain using the terms that go along with that fields method of explaining things. The point of these talks is to share ideas and not just amongst the highly educated but those at the entry level too.
Given that context she did fine, and the point of a catchy title is to promote good content. As long as all their clickbaits end up panning out in terms of quality I have no issue.
