This is not 100% accurate. I made this in an hour but it should give you a general idea of how to improve your studying/learning. If you have any corrections, feel free to drop them in the comments.

When you repeat a task, the brain strengthens its neural connections involved in the task, making the process more automatic and efficient. Repetitions strengthen synaptic connections and shift activity from conscious to automatic regions. This is the same reason why practice leads to mastery.

Initially, a task requires conscious attention (frontal cortex activity), but with repetition, control shifts to more automatic systems, such as the basal ganglia and motor cortex. Learning shifts from cortical to subcortical control (especially to the basal ganglia and cerebellum), which reduces the need for conscious attention. Similar to learning how to type, you pay conscious attention and focus when pressing each key, but after your fingers can do it automatically, as if they know what to do (procedural memory).

For example, your left parietal can only comprehend a certain amount at one time. The more you use it as is, the more you can memorise what you read off script. If you’re doing something right, you don’t get tired of it. You can (hypothetically) apply this to all the other lobes responsible for memory comprehension, problem solving, and abilities required for learning and studying by finding the function of the lobe and doing repetitions.

"Theoretically" (correct if wrong), you can train the brain networks involved in learning by repeating tasks that lead to success (repetition). Along with positive feedback or rewards for dopamine helps the basal ganglia strengthen those habits since dopamine signals tell your brain that this is something worth keeping.

Repetition (as the name implies) is the repetition of completed/correct answers consistently.

Example: if you study vocabulary for 10 minutes every day, it will be better for the lobes than cramming 2 hours once a week. Consistency > volume.

o Frontal cortex functions:
● Planning and decision making
● Attention and working memory
● Impulse control and emotion regulation
● Problem solving
● Speech production

o Can be trained with:
● Active recall and spaced repetitions
● Breaking goals into steps
● Mindfulness/meditation
● Learning with logic (Focusing on the why/how instead of the steps. Instead of memorizing a math formula, you understand why the formula works and how its derived)

o Basal ganglia functions:
● Habit formation
● Motor control and coordination
● Reward and motivation
● Cognitive pattern learning
● Decision making

o How to train it:
● Repetition
● Clear cues and context
● Chunking actions
● Give small rewards after completing tasks (Basal ganglia is driven by dopamine)
● Reduce friction and be consistent
● Learning instruments, typing, and other physical skills

o Parts of the motor cortex:
1)
Premotor cortex: plans movement
● Prepares and sequences movements before execution
● Ex: deciding how to reach for a pencil before performing the task

2) Primary Motor Cortex (M1): executes movements
● Located in the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe
● Sends electrical signals through neurons to specific muscles
● Controls hands, face, and tongue as they require precise control

3) Supplementary Motor Area (SMA): Coordinates complex or learned movement patterns
● Handles actions that require both sides of the body or sequences you've practiced
● Ex: playing the piano or typing

o How to train it:
● Learning new physical skills: playing instruments, drawing, writing, sports, etc
● Practicing coordination exercises: Juggling, yoga, martial arts, etc
● Fine motor practice: handwriting, sketching, playing the piano, etc
● Exercise: boosts blood flow and releases neurotrophic factors such as BDNF, which enhance learning across the whole brain

good thread but it is difficult for many users to do iq max because we are in an incel forum where looksmaxxing is barely done so they would want to do iqmaxxing, rep for effort.

good thread but it is difficult for many users to do iq max because we are in an incel forum where looksmaxxing is barely done so they would want to do iqmaxxing, rep for effort.
summary of the thread: repeat stuff that gives positive outcomes like solving equations or getting right answers and reward urself after.

thats all u gotta do. even the dumbest of iqlets can do this

My suggestion or small corrections fixed or examples

so um mirin hard ts busted lowkey
esl warrior mb

- So um u said quote
If you’re doing something right, you don’t get tired of it” isn't entirely correct tho cuz Mental fatigue can occur even with mastery cuz of cognitive load or lack of novelty, meanwhile tasks done by the basal gangalia require less effort( = less fatigue cuz they r more of automatic tasks)

- the repetition part, good example cuz spaced repetitions basically strengthens your neutral pathway also btw active recall explicitly as it’s a key mechanism for strengthening memory thru the repetition like flashcards or self-quizzing and shit like that ( op method basically)

- I forgot what I was gonna say but the prefrontal cortex (basically a subset of the frontal cortex ye) is especially responsible for executive functions like planning, working memory and impulsive control so yeah that's more precise there

- Last yap but the" Learning with logic" is OP for deep understanding but won't always reduce cognitive load as it require more initial effort


Anyway mirin hard this thread
