Speed Reading: Got Learning?
Nodding and shaking are hardwired methods of communicating human acceptance or rejection of feelings and ideas. Notice when you speak to one person or a crowd, when folks agree or hate you, many automatically signal by head gestures.
Do you have an Inquiring Mind? We know the answer is yes - or you would be snoozing or playing video games. Are you aware that having an Inquiring Mind changes your brain’s structure and function? Experience and learning constantly rearrange your brain positively – it is called neuroplasticity.
The original form of human communication back when we separated from the other apes maybe 100 million years ago, was using our hands (and face) to make gestures. Think of the clarity of pointing, making the sign of the cross, and in India, Buddhist Mudras (hand gestures) are an intricate element of their religious interaction.
Nodding and Shaking
Fact: neuroplasticity are the changes occurring in your brain as a direct result of new experiences and specific learning. Your 3-pound coconut rewires itself as you encounter new environments. Neurogenesis is the growth of new brain cells.
She was presenting proof that actively using hand gestures when learning helps solidify the new information. It worked beyond her wildest expectations, and extends to reading.
Google: Yaacov Stern, Columbia University, Cognitive Reserve. Brain resiliency in the face of Alzheimers stops the manifestations (symptoms) from affecting your life activities.
The use of your head to nod in affirmation, and shake side-to-side in negativity, causes a more powerful reaction than mere words alone. Get this: when you are learning and studying, and want to let your own brain to pay strict attention and concentrate – nod your head while reading to emphasize the parts you want to focus on for long term memory.
Using a hand-tool to reinforce reading and learning is about 3 thousand years old. It is a pointer called a Yad (hand) in Hebrew, and used to avoid losing your place in reading from the Talmud. The fact is the pacer (pointer) is used to underline the words you read, to increases attention, concentration [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], comprehension, and long-term memory. IS that enough to check it out?
Your PFC Prefrontal Cortex, in your left-hemisphere, remembers and learns better and longer when you add specific electro-chemical body signals – gestures for redundancy and confirmation.
Who Says So
Remember – use it or lose it? It applies to all muscles including your brain. Is it better to burn out from too much personal improvement, than rust out from Alzheimer?
Susan Wagner Cook of the University of Rochester, published in the journal Cognition, July 2007, research indicating kids who used physical gestures at their math problems will remember what they learned three (3x) longer than those who do not. Gestures produce statistically significant improvement, huh?
If you will take your pen now – an
Reading Too
Who Cares
Great public speakers like President Obama make dramatic use of their hands, not just choose emotionally powerful words to influence [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], convince, and persuade us. Unless it is pointed out, we don’t really notice how gestures add information to
our words.
If you want to live a healthy life into your nineties, first don’t get hit by a Mack truck, and second, swear to become a lifelong learner. Scientific research at Harvard, Oxford, and Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Company, indicates educated lifelong learners increase their longevity up to ten years [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and reduces their risk of Alz up to 60%.
Hand Gestures & Learning
Sounds ridiculous, but many scientists believe the use of gesture and speech is part of a single thought process. Add this, you brain is part of your body, and your body
triggers your brain structures double (2x), when you supplement language with body language including posture, facial and hand gestures.
