I also remember our lesson in cognitive psychology. Learning is like encoding some information into your memory. But memory has 3 different levels-sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. You can sense something without using your attention. But it only stays less than 1 second in your sensory memory. But if you use attention, it can stay longer about 30 seconds in your short-term memory. But if you use attention and relate this information to other informations that were already stored in your long-term memory, it can stay at the long-term memory as well that can last to minutes or hours or days or years.
The key is: connect a new information to other information you've already knew. The more connections, the better. We call this connection as "retrieval paths". Just like going to the park. You can arrive at there more easily if you knew many paths. One path is very difficult. You'll be lost probably. It's the same in our memory. It's easy to encode. It's very difficult to retrieve.
Thank you for this. Date i say so but feels like how if related to programming any memories before the horrid Covid that I’d gotten well towards the end … if any one else
May relate - this comment is how I’ve felt my brain has not been able to recall facts if I might’ve associated them with any personal tag in my memory?? So it seems at least!? Been struggling with this as it happens more often over the last year now.. 🥸 what the heck. Context here given - is it possible? Relatable at least to anyone else perhaps 😅🎉❤
Good job m8!
@@nirvahn996 yeah. learning something new which has little or no connections to what you've already knew is very very difficult to retrieve because it has only few "retrieval paths" (or connections).
For example: Your friend tells you a random fact- "Jose Raul Capablanca was the third world chess champion". If you don't play chess, don't know chess history, you don't know Capablanca's background, no experiences in chess, you'll forget him right away.
But if your friend tells you about "John Mark, a friend of your brother, a basketball player, graduated in the same school, a girlfriend of your crush, he looks like your favorite actor", etc. You will likely not forget him easily.
In order to have a better memory, you must have enough information (or connections) about the new information.
oh, like the "map" style memory where you put "all the bones of the leg" in a drawer, "all the bones of the foot" in another drawer, on the top of the desk you put a statue of a skeleton then put a poster on the wall with the number of bones (206? idk) put a light on or something, so you create a storage system that's visual for what you're learning? could be like directions and buildings too etc
Thank you. You're comment was more helpful than the video.
So if you wanna learn you gotta focus Holy shit genius
I didn’t know that,.. 😱 (sarcastically speaking)
But apparently, 30,000+ people here on RUclips actually didn’t know that. Which must have been 30,000+ that just clicked on like without thinking, which actually might seem fitting then,.. 😂
He means like turn on a metronome or something. Not music, that's a distraction but something that you can focus on while reading or listening to what your trying to learn
sounds like you aren't focusing
Reminds me of meditation and the claims that it increases intelligence. Man whoever came up with that technique must have been a genius.
@@Justusson😅🤣 you two are too much
What this man means is that you need to study the new thing, word, piece of knowledge etc and pause every once in a while. You then take the new info inside and turn it into a very vivid imagination. For example: see yourself teaching someone else about it, or using the new info-words-concepts in a conversation. Do it quick, make it focussed and bring it alive. Now it will stick with you as if you really experienced it and can so become a new habit or pattern. I have always worked like this and been teaching this for ten years. Now I know the sience behind it. Love it!
@@iridium8341 asshole… you’re just gonna say no and not correct them? Sounds like you’re sad maybe you should listen to the OPs advice lmao..
And thank you OP🙏 I will try this
In short turn what u read into an experience . Right ?
@@unknownfromkashmir260i don't know if it has to be as specific as this, but the key is focus, you just concentrate hard in the moment that you want to learn that thing, I was able to do this a few times, and somehow the next day I understood everything. I think stress and cortisol helps when it's released in that moment. This is telling your brain, yes this is very very important, almost life and death that I need to learn this.
I'm glad I'm not there only one who felt like he said a whole lot without actually saying anything.
Ikr 😂😂😂
My prof in college told us that our brain works on problems while we’re sleeping. If I was ever stuck on a homework problem I would put it aside and come back to it a day or two later and it was almost always more clear to me
I generally tell my clients that I need three days to work on large problems. I reality I'm taking that information in on day 1, then resting on it two days. The answers are generally there on the third day. (Systems analyst)
Many people didn’t understand the message, he is saying that if you need to learn something new you need to focus on what change is this learning bringing to your life at this precise moment and where do you want to get through these learning. For example im learning how to code and this learning is helping me see the world in a more logical way and my goal for this is to code a program myself. That will 100% improve your learning.
Thinking intensely is the basis of all my anxiety lol
Overthinking is not focusing. It also is not fully rational, it mixes emotions (mostly negative) with your logical thought process, always producing the worst outcome to a given situation in your life. Or, just hyperbolizes the weight the negative consequences have or even the chance of smth negative happening.
I am no neuro scientist this is just what I get from my anxious friends.
@@mahmud7645 you hit it on the head. Usually when I'm anxious my headspace is chaotic and that's the opposite of clear thinking
This man’s willingness to share neuroscience in an understandable way has been life-changing for me. Thank you, Andrew Huberman.
Ah, that’s why I can’t learn anything from youtube shorts. I mean, except for this.
That was super meta
Well, yes.
There’s actually a lot of recent research into the effects of tiktok - it basically shrinks your grey matter, destroys your memory and learning.
And yt shorts, being almost identical, cause the same issues.
Likely that the same goes for basically any engagement with constant switching between mindless entertainment, like switching between social media apps and/or games for hours on end
@@oiinahgiiusadurrybrahchuck7209 man that was genius . I wish everyone knew about the negative effects on the brain because overexposure to mindless random entertainment
Wow!
Learn what?
Or in other words: becoming self conscious and doing things consciously.
I think it's more like awareness. Awareness is heavily improved through meditation and journaling.
@@bottledjuice70 Consciousness is awareness so I believe you and the OP are saying the same things with different words
I truly believe that over-stimulus through social media, high-tech phones, and entertainment has made this extremely difficult for the younger generations and those who already have attention issues. It’s made it difficult to slow down and make decisions consciously as we are creatures of habit and react based on dopamine releases. I have ADHD and I read books to slow my mind down and consciously force my brain to soak in the information. I do struggle with other things like math as it is not an interesting story that I can entertain my “conscious” brain with, like reading novels does.
Basically if you want to learn something, you need to convince your brain that you NEED to learn that particular thing.
Wouldn’t awareness be a better word than focus for this case
exactly
...bring focus to some perception of whats happening during the process..
= awareness. That's exactly what I thought!
Adhd me:
Andrew Huberman: "Focus is the entry point."
I was looking for this comment 💀
Do cardio and take ashwaganda, slapped my ADHD. But also, we can focus, it's just we focus on particular things for a long time instead of work, school stuff etc. It's called hyperfocus.
@@ratsoup1944how to focus on learning quora
@@ratsoup1944how to turn on hyper focus, I use the 13 minute technique he taught us
When studying I try (but admittedly haven't made habit yet) some of these things: 1) apply the lesson to a practical problem, which makes it relatable and memorable. 2) get your other senses involved: lavender oil in a misting bottle, calm music in the background, using a chair with a massaging pad/cover. Hell even just standing up while studying can activate your senses to enhance your study.
I have ADHD and notice this especially with guitar. I analyse the part in struggling with and try figure out why. I imagine a sound I would like to produce and figure out steps to get closer to it. I then try variations of movements, not just in my fingers, but in my wrist, arm, shoulder, neck, back etc.
From the outside, it looks like madness. My friend once commented that he was going crazy just listening to me practice the same few notes over 30 minutes 🤣 normally I would agree, but when you're in such a (flow) state, time works differently.
Fascinating, understandable, precise and USEFUL info! My personal "Gold Standard" for short videos. Highest quality!
Many Thanks!
I’m hearing that my adhd self that struggles so bad to focus will have an even harder time overcoming my depression then. 😔
Nah fr I just recently started to consider getting medicated because my ADHD is severely hindering my ability to learn and Im pretty much running out of options. Hoping it works bro fr
You can do it. Just differently than neurotypicals which is why you need to see someone who's a specialist in ADHD, not just one for depression or anxiety since the cause of your depression (unless it's a separate, clinical diagnosis) is likely caused by poorly managed ADHD. You can't approach depression the same way you would with someone who doesn't have ADHD because ADHD and emotion are so closely linked, yet ADHD is the most treatable psychiatric condition there is (with or without medication).
Power of my entry point is getting rid off negative comments and memories .
That’s why writing in a diary can be extremely helpful. Even annotating books you read when a provocative thought comes along is extremely helpful for setting things in stone. When I’m going along, doing whatever it is I’m doing, and I have a profound thought, I write it down as quickly as I can and ponder on it for a moment, because I know if I don’t, it will be gone the next moment.
Nothing pisses me off more than forgetting thought thats insightful
@@shueibdahir so true man, it hurts inside because you know you had potential for progress.
“If you want to learn something just focus”. Great tip, cheers.
People are cheering this entry and I’m thinking exactly what you are. I’m thinking the clip must have been changed or something,..? 🤔
He said: Focus. on. a. specific. point. of. perception. during. the. learning. process. So while in the midst of feeling anxiety or doing any task you’re doing and you greatly focus on what you are perceiving (see, taste, feel, smell, hear and emotionally feel, think of what you doing and what you desire) maybe right it down and then know that the acetylcholine will do it’s job of marking those exact neurons and other cells in the body to internally change in the ways that will only benefit you. So while you sleep your brain is unblocking mental obstacles and and making it easier for you to succeed. Hence less anxiety or the easier ability to learn a new language or the sky is the limit! I hope my perspective and reiteration helps 💜
Coach!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Marcus Wynne was a cognitive neuroscience researcher who wrote a book called "neural based training retrospectives"
This explains why I can mostly work hard while listening to specific dnb mixes I'd listen to on repeat in highschool/college/uni
All day long you do something in a reflexive way, you perform it during sleep and deep sleep but also during the day. It's neurologically designed to stay alive, the precise neurons that fire during that action are vital for carrying oxygen. You do it when you are breathing.
I keep seeing Dr Huberman clips and I can't stop thinking about how much of what he says relates to the effects of mediation techniques, such as vipassana or pranayana.
Makes me think of everytime I start to panic or an attack is coming, I focus on a task or just tell my self you're ok. Just breath and focus
I’ll try that. Lately when I feel a panic attack coming on, I will try not to focus on it and instead distract myself by focusing on something else. Know what really helps? If I go try to have a bowel movement, it seems to calm me down. Bizarre, huh?
Melody here. I had two accidents and two injuries from people. I knew college would "rewire" my brain. I'm healed now.
You can confirm the focus is the wntry point by doing this:
Take a deep breath, and then exhale with the same, slow, speed, until you exhale the whole breath. Speed must be constant. To do this, you have to focus to maintain the same exhale speed, and when you do that a couple of times in a row, you look back and realize you didn't think about *anythinf* else, not one bit. Total focus on one thing.
Thanks a lot. I will put this to use. I need it. Thanks again.
Wonderful creator we have
Anyone know what podcast is this? I want to here the full thing
Hey doc, Glad I found you. Keep talking
It's called willpower, that's all you need.
It's not will power, will power can also be reflexive.
This guy is a modern wizard
Yes babies are a big inspiration they can focus and learn from surroundings and am mentaly exploring the thing that babies do that culd benefit me
Your vagueness impresses me 😎
Wish this was explained in way more detail! Would love to learn more!
Huh, I need to listen 2 this again 👂🏼
WOW!! That just blew my mind, so cool!! I love learning from these shorts!!
I tried this last year and my life changed
How did you try please tell us all?
Word on the street, this guys packin heat
FABULOUS...I now have a biology answer to give why 3 step thought process I share for self regulating thoughts works so well...
1) Focus 2) Re-engagement 3) Pleasant feeling. #brainrewire
That was amazing!
Superb! With focus you can learn, memorize and do anything you might set your mind to do.
Thank youuu for sharing this is soo important! 🙏🏼⭐️💫❤️🔥
Thank you
Something people might have missed, he said the brain maks those neurons for when you sleep/have a deep rest later. This is why sleep is so important in learning.
Thank you for the practical step by step advice
I love this man!
So basically when you study you need to focus. Thanks doc
You wouldn't accept that without the explanation
I mean that's what they all say, but it's a particular type of focus.
Basically you have to get rid of distractions such as these shorts. The brain is very time sensitive and if you’re on shorts or something similar like social media all the time, your brain is going to create a pattern where it expects that input. The brain will interrupt you to tell you “it’s time to watch RUclips” even when you know you need to do something else. Small distractions can add up to things your brain can be convinced are important.
If you want to focus, think of your brain as a muscle. Just like when you practice something like shooting a basket or throwing a ball and you strengthen the muscle for that specific motion, you strengthen a certain section of the brain the more you use it. If you’re constantly stimulating a section of your brain with simple pleasures, that part becomes more active and takes over, driving you to repeat the process.
You must convince yourself consciously of what is and isn’t important, and when cravings arise ask yourself what and why you are craving rather than giving in.
Agreed, if in pain, focus on the area& ask GOD to heal you through JESUS CHRIST's stripes.
GOD is able!
This guy has brought new perspective to a lot of things for me. Can't pronounce most of these words or know what they are but i get the point. Great work!
I love this! Thankyou
This dude is great
Fn Outstanding ❤️
So true I practice this
So I've been doing it right this whole time. Good to know.
Anybody else completely space out by the time he started explaining that to learn faster you need to focus?
This is so very right on! Also really works! Thanks
I experienced this. Truth. Try it.
I think this is what Is happening when I say I learn the most when I push the through the brain burn and finish what I was struggling on
This is actually good advice, thanks to whoever posted this and for the guy for talking about it
Song name by chance? Great short.
damn, how cool is neuroscience?
Ironic that I skipped 6 Shorts before this but I actually focused on this.
Great material out there..
Focus.
"Shut up and study!" - Matt and Trey
Every single time I see this guy I get excited that’s it’s going to something profound and it’s always ends up being sweet nothings
Never knew that feeling had scientific backup
A teacher helping his student:
"If you don't understand how to solve this exercise, try harder, you piece of shit"
I feel like I have adhd because this is how I feel when I learn anything. And I get super excited and go on rants telling my partner usually what I learned and I need to self adjust that lol
OH YAWN... ME, ME, ME.
Concentrate Deeply on ME.
So I think he means don't just passively watch something you're trying to learn about hoping it'll just sink in on it's own. Engage with it in some way
Here's what I do:
1. Once I find information and want to absorb it properly, I pretend as if I'm explaining to someone the concept of what I just heard or read
2. I also try to see info on a topic like a video game map that I'm filling in as I discover more areas
This helps because if I discover two areas independently, it's much easier to learn that information that connects to both of them
3. It's also a good idea to keep things simple, most complex systems are just several simple systems layered on top of eachother. Understand the simple things and the larger things will become clear in time.
4. Give yourself time and go at your own pace
5. Try to have fun, become excited about what you can do with this new information. Don't just focus on having it, think about what can be accomplished with it. That gives the information a sense of purpose and will have more meaning in your mind.
At least that's what works for me
that's some good points.
also you can focus on awareness.
awareness of what's going on your emotions during what you are doing.
Thanks I took a screenshot and will re read to remind myself to do it
I look forward to the challenge
Thank you
Yeah that first one is smart. When you teach someone it’s another opportunity to learn and grow perceptions
Bruh literally just said, "focus on the task your doing if you want to do it... SCIENCE!!!"
My adult son told me about this video. He was using it for skateboarding. He follows you.
he just said FOCUS
I had this theory 2 years ago. Put it to the test and notice changes in my behavior and thinking. It's true. Put all the effort you can take the first time. If it's not right, take a break and do something else if nothing is coming to mind, or my favorite is i would try a task until it was completed or i was stumped then start another one with the same energy and repeat that process until i needed to sleep. Eventually, life got easier and easier as my logic in different areas grew
So you never stick to a task
@are nuzzle you don't have good reading comprehension. My tasks get done, and they get done more efficiently than others by using this process. I always come back to the project/task. But whatever floats your boat
It's true. To learn new programing language this is the only sane recipe.
I probably learned about 90% of what I know about fighting in the first 3 months. I am utterly obsessed with it, so I retain almost everything I learn about it.
I KNOW when I make a memory, and when I walk out of a lecture and remember almost nothing.
Simply put. If you want to change.. FOCUS!!!
Are there any research papers on this? Sounds very interesting
I already took deep dives into AD(H)D related research (hormone balances, ritalin and how it works in detail), as well as addiction related chemistries.
Curious about this
@@neuro.lifestyle Sweet. Thank you!
Would this apply to learning a new song? I generally get parts I’m not as fluent in stuck in my head and the hook will replay over and over(even while sleeping) when I try to sing the song the next time, I’ve got the lyrics down better…
So thinking about something helps when you’re trying to learn? Wow I love science
I think as a software developer I have this covered about 8 hours a day.
Help my adhd brain focus!!
Damn , this is important.
A good thing to practice is either brushing your teeth in an opposite circular motion, or brush with your opposite hand. Your definitely more focused
I just heard all that so at the end he tells me that what I need to do is to "double focus" lol
I Need This
is that like listening to RUclips shorts while I'm at work?
cuz if so I'm nailing it 🤷
Ik how to do dis from childhood. U basically try to hyper focus for 10 secs at the particular thing with any of ur sense (i use sight) and then learn it. Try to do this by going in some new house (neighbors etc) and hyper focus to learn which switch turns on which light. Apply this and u will learn it in a single turn.
Really enjoying these vids. Where's the full stuff can someone link me?
So if I want to learn something…I just pay attention?…wow. Spectacular advice. Who would’ve known
Make sense 👌
I needed to hear that when I was in school I could never focus on anything
That's how I learn things faster than other people I get extremely obsessed until I learn it.
Focus.... Focus on feeling and through that feeling doing. Thinking is just another part of that reflex .... If you really wish to change focus on all the actions that release feeling
