How much does your mindset affect your ability to learn? Do you know the good news about neuroplasticity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to learn anything well, you must adopt a learner’s mindset, which is basically a growth mindset<\/a> toward learning. We\u2019ll discuss the characteristics of a learner’s mindset, the scientific basis behind it, and the practical steps and benefits of adopting one yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopt a Learner’s Mindset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step to learning anything you want is to believe<\/em> you can learn anything you want. This is a learner’s mindset, also known as a growth mindset. The idea is rooted in the concept of neuroplasticity<\/a><\/em>\u2014the brain\u2019s ability to change and adapt throughout our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Mindset<\/em><\/a>, psychologist Carol S. Dweck differentiates between a growth mindset<\/em> and the more common fixed mindset<\/a><\/em>, in which you believe your abilities are unchangeable and that you were born with a certain amount of intelligence. On the other hand, if you adopt a growth mindset, you view your innate abilities as a starting point<\/strong> on which you can build with hard work, persistence, and the right learning strategies<\/a>. A growth mindset frees you from judging yourself so you can explore your full potential. You may even find you have a passion for learning and seek challenges that stretch your mind. In this case, \u201cstretching your mind\u201d is more than just an expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s true that no two people are the same, we all have the capacity for growth. Scientists now know that the human brain is constantly forming and discarding neural pathways to incorporate new information and skills. In Limitless Mind<\/em><\/a>, educator Jo Boaler explains that, any time you learn a new idea, your brain forms new connections, strengthens them with repeated use, and creates new links between preexisting neural pathways. The key lies in adopting the belief that you can learn.<\/strong> Research shows that your attitude toward learning<\/a> has a direct impact on how your brain functions<\/a>: People who believe they can <\/em>learn show heightened levels of brain activity compared to those who believe their abilities are fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have a fixed <\/em>mindset, you believe (or were told) that you were born with specific traits and a certain, unchangeable amount of intelligence<\/a>. Dweck and Boaler both assert that many of us are trained in this false mindset from an early age\u2014for instance, by teachers who believe that IQ, inherent talent, or differences based on gender and race determine everything: You\u2019re either smart or you\u2019re dumb; you can learn or you can\u2019t. Fixed mindset thinking is especially pernicious and must be corrected to unlock your full potential.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eliminate Unhelpful Beliefs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But, how do you adopt a healthy mindset toward learning if you\u2019ve gone your whole life believing you can\u2019t do it? In Limitless<\/em><\/a>, life coach Jim Kwik lays out three steps to this process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Identify limiting beliefs.<\/strong> Be mindful of times when you tell yourself that you can\u2019t do something.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Find the facts<\/strong>, and get to the truth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Form new beliefs.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A healthy mindset is also crucial to learning because unhealthy<\/em> mindsets result in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that hinder success. In The Only Study Guide You’ll Ever Need<\/em><\/a>, Jade Bowler warns that a negative mindset<\/a> triggers a fear of failure<\/a><\/strong>, which leads to procrastination and a <\/em>lack of motivation. <\/strong>You may find that you have no desire to learn, either because you\u2019ve given up or hold negative beliefs about your ability to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Myth of Learning Styles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to false beliefs about whether you can learn, you may also harbor unhelpful beliefs about how <\/em>you learn. There\u2019s a common myth that everyone has a learning style\u2014such as visual, auditory, or hands-on\u2014and that you learn best when taught in a way that matches your learning preference. Instead, science shows that you actually learn best when you make use of multiple learning styles<\/a> at once. Modern educators argue against the \u201clearning style\u201d theory while touting the benefits of engaging multiple senses in the learning process and embracing the aspects that cause you to struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everyone learns best when the teaching style matches the subject <\/em>of the lesson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regardless of your preferred learning style, you learn something even better if you see it and<\/em> hear it. In <\/strong>Learning How to Learn<\/em><\/a>, Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski explain that connecting an idea to multiple sensory inputs creates more synaptic connections in your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You may balk at attempting a particular learning style because you feel you struggle with it and end up making mistakes. Jo Boaler argues that that\u2019s exactly when the most powerful learning takes place.  Struggling to learn and making mistakes is what increases your mental capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
