neural pathways we don’t use die off over time. What makes our brains hold on to these pathways — and create more — is not simply repeating the same things we’ve learned over and over again, but continually taking on difficult problems.
Stanford duck syndrome: How the myth of effortless genius hurts learning
Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. When you're young, so many things seem new, and your brain has more to process. That makes the passage of time feel longer; as you get older, relatively little seems new, which means your brain...

Want to Feel You're Living a Longer, Fuller Life? Neuroscience Says Making Denser Memories Is the Best Way to Slow the Passage of Time
Learned helplessness, the failure to escape shock induced by uncontrollable aversive events, was discovered half a century ago. Seligman and Maier (1967) theorized that animals learned that outcomes were independent of their responses—that nothing they did mattered – and that this learning undermined trying to escape. The mechanism of learned... See more

open.spotify.comAccording to the constructive episodic simulation hypothesis, extracted episodic details must also be recombined into a coherent event simulation. This recombinatory ability is thought to be central to flexibly imagining the future – to construct as well as disassemble and rework the components of scenarios to create different outcomes to enhance...

Creativity and Disruption: Creativity is described as emerging from the disruption of these predictive models. When our expectations are challenged or disrupted, it can lead to new ways of thinking and innovative ideas.
Balance Between Order and Chaos: The balance between order (predictive models) and chaos (disruption) is crucial for fostering creativity. Too much order can stifle creativity, while too much chaos can lead to confusion and lack of direction.
