1. General Questions

Robert Brunet of 51

Who we are?· We are Humans.

· Humans are characteristic for their mental capability.

· Humans are uniquely to communication for self-expression, exchange ideas,…

2. Multiple Intelligences

Robert Brunet of 51

Multiple IntelligencesThe theory of multiple intelligences (TMI) was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983.

TMI differentiates intelligence into various specific modalities, rather than seeing it as dominated by a single general ability.

• Logical-mathematical

• Spatial

• Linguistic

• Bodily-kinesthetic

• Musical

• Interpersonal

• Intrapersonal

• Naturalistic

• Existential

Robert Brunet of 51

1. Logical-mathematical• This area has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning and numbers.

• It is often assumed to: mathematics, chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities (mathematical ability).

• Also reasoning capabilities, recognizing abstract patterns, scientific thinking and investigation and the ability to perform complex calculations.

• Logical reasoning is closely linked to fluid intelligence and to general ability.

Robert Brunet of 51

2. Spatial• This area deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's eye.

• Careers which suit those with this type of intelligence include artists,designers and architects.

• A spatial person is also good with puzzles. Spatial ability is one of the three factors beneath g in the hierarchical model of intelligence.

Robert Brunet of 51

3. Linguistic• This area has to do with words, spoken or written.

• People with high verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words along with dates.

• They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and by discussing and debating about what they have learned.

• Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure.

Robert Brunet of 51

4. Bodily-kinesthetic• The core elements of the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are control of one's bodily motions and the capacity to handle objects skillfully.

• In theory, people who have bodily-kinesthetic intelligence should learn better by involving muscular movement, and are generally good at physical activities such as sports or dance.

• Careers that suit those with this intelligence include: athletes, pilots, dancers, musicians, actors, surgeons and soldiers.

Robert Brunet of 51

5. Musical• This area has to do with sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones, and music.

• People with a high musical intelligence normally have good pitch and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music.

• Language skills are typically highly developed in those whose base intelligence is musical. In addition, they will sometimes use songs or rhythms to learn.

Robert Brunet of 51

6. Interpersonal• This area has to do with interaction with others.

• People who have a high interpersonal intelligence tend to be extroverts, and they have the ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group.

• They communicate effectively and empathize easily with others, and may be either leaders or followers.

•Careers that suit those with this intelligence include: sales, politicians, managers, teachers and social workers.

Robert Brunet of 51

7. Intrapersonal• This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities.

• This refers to having a deep understanding of the self; what your strengths/ weaknesses are, what makes you unique, being able to predict your own reactions/emotions.

• Philosophical and critical thinking is common with this intelligence.

• Many people with this intelligence are authors, physchologists, philosophers,…

Robert Brunet of 51

• This area has to do with nurturing and relating information to one’s natural surroundings.

• Examples include classifying natural forms such as animal and plant species and rocks and mountain types; and the applied knowledge of nature in farming, mining, etc.

• Careers which suit those with this intelligence includenaturalists, farmers and gardeners.

8. Naturalistic

Robert Brunet of 51

9. ExistentialAbility to contemplate phenomena or questions beyond sensory data, such as the infinite and infinitesimal. Careers or callings which suit those with this intelligence include shamans, priests, mathematicians, physicists, scientists, cosmologists and philosophers.

3. The mind & the memory

Robert Brunet of 51

1. Mind• Mind is the faculty to our cells to

think, reason, imagine, memorize, learn, feel,…

Robert Brunet of 51

2. Memory• Memory is the ability of an organism to store, retain, and recall information and experiences.

Robert Brunet of 51

3. Types of memory (I)Based on the time:

- Short term: We retain for a short term. Like a telephone number, we need to write it down.

- Middle term: We can retain this information for one or two days.

- Large time horizon: We retain this information for months or years.

Robert Brunet of 51

3. Types of memory (II)Based on the sense:

- Visual: is the most powerful, for example when we are reading we tend to transform the words in images.

- Auditive: is a very useful memory which allows use to remember a discussion or a song.

- Tasty: Who cannot remember the taste of some meals?

- Smelt: We can also memorize and associate smells.

- Touch: the sensation of the sand of the beach, of the cold water, of a hot bath,…

- Kinestetik: muscular movement that we assimilate in an irracional manner.

Robert Brunet of 51

4. How to memorize the infoWe can just memorize one thing “DATA”.

The capital of France is Paris.Data: France capital ParisFocus: “France” & “Paris”

France capital Paris

Robert Brunet of 51

5. Type of memorizable infoPure Data: is this information where there is not any logic relation between both focus.-Why the capital of China is named Pekin?- Is that were is impossible to find the correlation.

Secuencial Data: is this information where there is a logic interconextion between the focus.-Titanic crash with an iceberg a lot of people died.

Remember to study is like to see a movie.

Robert Brunet of 51

6. Direction of the memorization· We have to memorize from more to less.

· When are we studying we have to reason and understand the information, this is the way that the data will stay in hour mind for a long time.

· Repetition: - The repetition is one of the most used methodologies. But it is a bad methodology.- We try to memorize pure data by repeting a lot of times.

· Inverosimil association: - What happens when you see something amazing?- That this will be in your mind for a long time.- Then you have to do the same when you are trying to memorize convert flat data in something amazing that you cannot forget.

Robert Brunet of 51

4. Supermemory

Robert Brunet of 51

1. Asociaciones inverosimiles· You have 5 minutes to remember this list of words:

TractorLampMonkeyBottonTableSoccer PlayerGorilaShipBikeBottleBoxBullBookClockCarpetCloudDoorStoneSeaBall

Easy? or Difficult?

Robert Brunet of 51

2. Mental boxes (I)· It is a methodology to remember data in an ordered way.

0 z Starts with z

1 t Looks like 1

2 n Two legs

3 m Three legs

4 k Two legs + Two arms

5 s Looks like 5

6 x From de 6

7 f Looks like 7

8 B Looks like 8

9 d Looks like inverse of nine

· The abecedarium has more consonants that we have to put in the previous boxes.

Robert Brunet of 51

2. Mental boxes (II)· You have 5 minutes to remember these telephone numbers:

a/ Work: 43 05 62b/ Bus Station: 78 65 09c/ Airport: 36 12 30d/ Theater: 90 62 38

· Build complete mental box from 1-100.

· For the rest example 234, use comodin environmental situations.-100 Garden-200 Beach-300 Mountain-…· Same situation but in other environment.

Robert Brunet of 51

5. Speed-reading (SR)

Robert Brunet of 51

1. Why SR is so important ?1. We will be able to read 3 or 4 more times faster.

2. We can be able to memorize the information easly.

Robert Brunet of 51

2. Problem when are we reading1. Follow lienally the words whitout stop to see them for an

instance.

2. Read too slow1. Lose time2. Lose concentration3. Difficult to retain the knowledge

Robert Brunet of 51

3. Methods for SR• When we are reading we have to use the pen to remark

important information.• When we are reading, we don’t have to talk or think in other

things.• When we are reading, we have to be in a calm space and in a

good position.

•Read faster is possible because the mental velocity that we can absorbe is 60.000 words/minute (movie) and the fastest reading is 1.000 words/minute.

Robert Brunet of 51

6. General System of Study

Robert Brunet of 51

1. Problems when you want to studyAmong the main problem when we have to study:

· We never find a good moment to sit and study.

· Avoids doubts and uncertainity about what to do, how and when.

· Improve the distribution of the working and leisure time .

· Minimize you pains and losing of time.

· Avoid to study everthing the last day.

To elaborate a work plan we have to take into account:

· The time that you have to invest to study depends on your capacity and the difficulty of the subject.

· It is interesting to start with the work of middle difficulty, continue with the hardest work and finish with the easiest.

· During the morning you memorize fastest. During the afternoon is better to do practical exercises.

· It is recommended to change subject every 40 minutes and rest for 5 minutes between them.

Robert Brunet of 51

3. Programm of study (II)Remember:

· Review all the subject that you did on the class.

· Finish the incomplete tasks.

· Prepare lectures to broaden and deepen the subject.

· Work with energy, decision and enthusiasm.

Method, is a set of ordered operations with we want to obtain a result.

Topic of study

1. Pre-read

2. Read2.1. Notas at the margin

2.2. Underline

3. Schema 3. Summary

4. Memorization

4. Method of study (I)

Robert Brunet of 51

4. Method of study (II)1. Pre-read: global and schematic read of the general information.

2. Comprhensive read: should do it carefully and understand perfectly each concept.

3. Notes in the margin: have to express the main idea of each parragraph. Should be in the left.

4. Underlining: consist in remark the most important work of the topic of study. The underlining is the answer of the notes in the margin.

5. Schema: show graphically the ideas of the topic.

6. Summary: remark the principal ideas of the topic. The extension cannot be higher than the 20% of the text.

7. Memorize: retain the data that we want to assimilate after remember it.

Robert Brunet of 51

1. It is better to study a little bit almost everyday either than a lot in certain periods.

2. It is necessari to stop for 5-10 minutes every 50 minutes to let the mind relax and absorved all the information.

3. The room where we are studying must have enough light.4. We have to study back from the solar light. If the light is artificial

is better if it is en el techo.5. We have to study in a comfortable situation.6. We should study in a relaxed room, without noise and problems.7. We have to avoid distraction such as (TV, Internet,…).8. Before to start to study it is necessary to have all material with

us: paper, pen, books,…9. The best moment to memorize is in the morning after breakfast.

5. Tricks in the study

Robert Brunet of 51

7. Preparing exams

Robert Brunet of 51

1. Start early: Get started at least a week before the exam.

2. Organize: Being making yourself a calendar outlining a daily schedule of topics for review.

3. Outline: As you read over your textbook and class notes, write a brief summary for each topic. Highlight the areas in your outline that were most troublesome.

4. Make flashcards:

5. Get help:

6. Sleep: You need at least seven hours of sleep a night to function. Tests are designed to make you think. If you are sleep-deprived, you won’t be able to remember any of the information you worked so hard to cram into your brain.

7. Stay calm: Do not panic at the exam! Even if at first glance the test is overwhelming, remember to breathe. If a question seems too hard, answer all the questions you know, then return to the ones you left blank. Remind yourself that you are prepared.

8. Don’t rush: You have spent at least two weeks studying, so what’s another couple of minutes? Work through the exam slowly and read all the questions before answering them.

9. Relax post-exam: Don’t let panic overwhelm you. Even if you think you bombed the exam, worrying will not change your score.
