In particular, the right brain should be developed, so as to stimulate the brain mechanism of children and become smarter and better. Many parents blindly believe it, but the news is based on science. Is it credible? Actually, not necessarily.
For the theory of left brain and right brain, we should mention Dr. sperry, an American psychobiologist. Dr. sperry confirmed the asymmetry of the brain through the experiment of splitting the brain, and obtained a set of experimental theories:
The appearance of the term "right brain development" is actually a view that many people got after misleading sperry's conclusion. Because the right brain is associated with sensibility and creativity, it is seldom used in daily life and work, so the concept of developing the right brain is put forward.
But not long ago, on CCTV, the wrong remarks about "right brain development" were solemnly exposed, breaking the fallacy of "right brain development"
Many parents may have heard more versions about Einstein's super brain or Leonardo da Vinci's genius brain. Because they all have the same intersection, that is, they all have a very powerful right brain.
But the fact is that although human beings have left and right brains and a clear division of labor, the whole brain is moving when performing "work". Although the left and right brains are responsible for different attribute functions, they do not work independently. Therefore, relying solely on "right brain development" cannot achieve the strong brain effect boasted in the speech.
Many parents must have heard of the concept that our brain development only uses 10% when they are studying their children's brain development. This theory is also nonsense.
American psychologist denniston once criticized this theory, claiming that:
Many parents listen to these theories and blindly follow the trend, giving their children relevant training courses, but they have never devoted themselves to studying the authenticity of these theories. Hong Lan, a famous doctor of psychology, once pointed out this pseudoscience in Good Boy: Three Points are Destined, Seven Points Depend on Education:
Since the fallacy that "the brain has only developed 10%" and "the right brain has developed" is supported by scientific theoretical basis, why can we often hear the spread of such remarks?
1. Disseminate the benefits sought by educational institutions
Many educational institutions, in order to expand the market and seek benefits, will vigorously spread the brain development theory in the market. Moreover, educational institutions will deliberately incite parents' emotions by virtue of their desire for success.
Some parents, because they lack theory and can't tell the difference, will choose to sign up for their children's good purpose. At the same time, these parents will also tell their relatives and friends around them after signing up, which will play a role in communication and benefit educational institutions.
2. People's potential desire to be a genius.
In the classic work "Invisible Gorilla: Six Illusions Everywhere" created by Chablis and Simmons, one of the six hallucinations is mentioned: the illusion of potential. The explanation of this ranking in the book points out:
So many people will subconsciously think that they are geniuses, but they have not yet been developed. Just like many people fantasize that they are actually the one who is destined to be, the one chosen by God.
These fantasies are actually the subconscious of human instinct, which is why many people still silently believe in pseudoscientific theories such as "right brain development".
3. The performance of wanting to take shortcuts
I believe many people have had the idea of getting what they want through shortcuts. In other words, in fact, most people still fantasize that they can "win lying down" and get something for nothing.
Some Hollywood hero-themed blockbusters are sought after by many people, partly because they are eager for the sudden superpowers of the heroes in the movies. Because it's easy to come, easy to come, many people feel a "cool feeling" in their hearts.
I believe that the same is true of brain development, and people will defend the theory that a smart brain can be obtained through the shortcut of "development".
Finally, although some theories about the development of brain genius are untenable, parents should be reminded that genius is not just a clever brain. Any great man who has made a name for himself in history has worked hard for many years besides being clever.
Many people who are called geniuses by the world have also left many famous sayings that diligence is greater than genius. For example, Einstein once said:
Beveridge also said:
Therefore, the birth of every genius is inseparable from hard work and sweat. In addition, parents should also pay attention to the studious attitude and blind obedience in their children's education.
Not only will children not be qualified as geniuses, but they will also mislead children into going astray. Shu Tian Chan once said:
Parents should also study and consult more in the way of education, so as not to mislead their children's learning and development in the wrong way.
