Transcript Intelligence and Brain Plasticity

 Neuroplasticity means that
everyone is able to become smarter
in all intelligences.
 Every experience, choice, and action
has a physical impact on your brain
 You can control how you think, feel
and act by controlling what you focus
on.
Attention and Experience
 What you focus on is what your brain
thinks is important.
 It changes in response to these
important experiences.
 Deliberately focusing on something
creates new pathways in the brain.
 Like muscles, repetition and use
creates strength in the brain’s ability
to function.
 Use it or lose it – the brain
continuously makes room for what is
important –what you focus on– by
pruning out things you don’t use.
 You can create new habits and prune
old ones
Changing How You Think Creates
