Aprendre per tornar més intel.ligents.

Resum: Aprendre ens fa més intel.ligents. Si tenim un mal cervell i tenim una intel.ligència baixa sigui de naixement, sigui per una malaltia o un accident encara podem augmentar la nostra intel.ligència dedicant-nos a aprendre. Així ho va fer Santiago Ramón y Cajal que a pesar del seu cervell mediocre va passar davant a molts de genis i aconseguí un premi Nobel. Quote of the book "LEARNING HOW TO LEARN." of Barbara Oakley PhD. «Santiago went on to draw beautiful pictures of all the neurons he saw through his microscope. His atlas of neurons is still the starting point for modern studies of neurons. But there was a problem. Santiago wasn’t a genius, and he knew it. He often wished he were smarter. He stumbled over his words, and he forgot details easily. But his research on neurons showed him that he could retrain his brain. Efforts to learn subjects like math and science gradually changed his abilities in those areas. By slow, steady practice, he could make new links—changing the structure of his brain. That’s how he changed from a young troublemaker to a famous scientist! Today’s scientific research confirms what Santiago discovered. We can all “think” ourselves smarter. Learning makes us smarter. And learning how to learn is one of the best things you can do to get the ball rolling and make learning more successful. This is the most important idea in this book! So keep reading! Later we’ll meet Santiago again. And we’ll discover more about why he could outthink geniuses—despite his “limited” brainpower.»
