While the physical development of the brain is largely complete within five years, is still well established intervals of intellectual development at age 6 to 8, 10, 12 and 14 to 16. It seems that we should try ensure that educational incentives should be programmed at the same time, these natural periods of development. It should be noted that the psychological researcher HT Epstein, it is clear that the developing brain 11 year old girls are up to twice that of boys, whereas something like the opposite is true in an age of 15 years.
This could argue for a different program for girls in this age group, with a much more complex and difficult entry and lower intensity 11 years to 15.
Why is it so big?
"The creativity of the human brain can be almost infinite."
Educational Technology "We are aware of only now a different man educability threshold - and the perfectibility man. We have never addressed ourselves to this problem before. "
Dr. Jerome Bruner, Harvard University "We will by conscious control develops brain centers that allow us to use the forces we have now are not even able to imagine. "Dr. Frederick Tilney. Distinguished French brain specialists. "There are useless to the possibilities that are so great to imagine." Jack Schwartz, psycho-physical trainer.
Just what has the potential to cause new scientists to indulge in a spine tingling prophecies?
The fundamental factor in the potential of the brain is the number of connections it can do. With 10-15 billion nerve cells, each capable of making thousands of connections, the possible permutations and have connections billion.
However, this potential massive brain was acquired by the man is an astronaut, but by the Neanderthals, as the3 human brain has not physically changed much over the past 50,000 years. Our hunter gather ancestors was the same size of our brain, but clearly were not so smart in this sense, measurable and practical application of intelligence. It has been five prehistoric monuments in use, rather than mere possession, this is a huge potential Intelligence: walking on two legs, increasing manual dexterity, tool making, oral and written communication skills.
"The word is only brought the man to human," wrote the theologian Herder in the eighteenth century. Speech Enabled allows us to offer advice to ensure that every generation has had to learn everything from scratch. We know the study of primitive societies four one hundred word vocabulary provide the most basis communication, and now an adult can survive very well in the 4,000 basic words of their language.
The next step was the invention of printing, which allowed the experience and concepts to conver to all who could read. You will learn in later chapters that educators view that mental capacity may demonstrably increased if a child learns to read early and read fluently. The brain is the only body which is expanding in use. The more one is used both to obtain the facts or the process of creativity, more memory associations are formed. Other organizations of size, the easier it is to remember previously acquired data, and also to form new partnerships, ie, create new ideas and concepts.
This is a very important "virtuous circle", and reading is the key to training. But this new aid for explaining how man, very slowly, will make greater practical use of a portion of their mental abilities. Why not have a big brain., Evolution is rarely so profligate. As Arthur Koestler said - "It 's just to give an example of evolution of living species, which can not be used, estate holder body which will take thousands of years to learn to make good use - if it ever does. "
Of course, our brains, we had a competitive advantage to achieve a dominant position that the animal Empire. But it must have far-reaching. The man of the last 50 years has been achieved nearmagical successes in technology. He is to get control over its physical environment exponential progress.
However, progress in finding solutions to philosophical issues was nonexistent or very slow. We seem to have more than enough brain power to solve the underlying problems. What we need for a parallel improvement in our ability to develop new design solutions, such as old age problems of injustice, and the international struggle.
It is no coincidence that our material success is largely due to the fact that we are accustomed to think of a model we call logic, and as we shall see soon, which seems to involve an entire side of the brain - the left side. On the other hand, our teaching methods are generally designed to encourage the development of side of the brain that deals with the concepts - the right side. So, our success in a logical, material pursuits is perhaps. It is not surprising - nor our comparative failure in terms of ethical issues.
