Imagination/Working Memory VS Memorizion

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Okay, you guys can spam as much as you want and say you have really good memory and your very imaginative, but most likely, you have low imagination.</p>

<p>The best scientists in the WORLD had bad memory and good imagination ability.
Albert Einstein
Thomas Edison
Issac Newton
ect...</p>

<p>You A Students may be successful in life with good high paying jobs that give you over millions of dollars, but remember, imagination is more important than knowledge. You can learn as much 'Science' as you want, you'll never be better than the guy who creates.</p>

<p>I have had 2 brilliant teachers that had terrible memory, and I mean forgetting even the simplest things, but THEY are just brilliant with ideas. Albert Einstein's memory was TERRIBLE, he couldn't even remember to comb his hair or which direction he was going. But a Genius. </p>

<p>"The fool is the one who declares thyself smart because of thy memory"</p>

<p>Mozart had high working memory so he could play music on THE spot, not using that so called memory ->> "An experienced musician gave him a fugue theme, which he worked out for more than an hour with such science, dexterity, harmony, and proper attention to rhythm, that even the greatest connoisseurs were astounded."[9]</p>

<p>And anyone that thinks "OH Mozart had good memory!", he did not, he was able to create the correct sounds at the right time with gaps in his memory using improvisation. "This is true for the Violin Sonata in G, K. 379/373a, where Mozart wrote in a letter to Leopold (8 April 1781) that he wrote out the violin part in an hour the night before the performance"</p>

<p>Think twice about...
that rapper that can form rhythms of words on the spot
the musician who created from pure Improvisation
the scientist who made a new understanding in physics</p>

<p>Thats why the nerds in expensive laboratory suits will never invent anything nearly as superior as the past using the same approach to everything...</p>

<p>Humans have evolved from beasts, so we are made to live under cognitive ability. Its true memorizing will increase your ability to remember(Increase of Dendrites), but how will you increase Axons?</p>

<p>Imagination/Cognition/Creativity/AXON ->
LongTermMemory/RecallingOfFacts/DENDRITES</p>

<p>As you get deeper into these there are deeper subcatagories such as Types of memory and types of processing such as Verbal(Sound) Mental(Thought) Visual(Perception) Physical(Muscle)
Now if we can get both of these types of people working together...</p>

<p>This is not to make you feel bad, but to open your eyes..</p>

<p>And don't start saying that you can have all of those. Its just not possible in our current type of DNA Structure.... Unless you have a big mutation you don't die from..</p>

<p>*<strong><em>. I am living proof why your “conjecture” is wrong. I have both high memorizaton skills and an excellent imagination. I can memorize 50 vocabulary words in 10 minutes, do multiplication with 3 digit numbers in my head, and I’m in Calculus as a sophomore, and on the other side, dealing with imagination skills, I can draw and write stories really well and I’ve actually won a few art and story contests myself. As for physical, I’m good at almost every sport except for tackle football (I’m an Asian female so of course I’m petite). It really isn’t that hard. I don’t think everyone has a set type of memory and some “categories” that you listed don’t even have to deal with memory. Visual, verbal, and physical are all examples. It depends really on the environment and the mentality and emotional strength one has to either A) deal with *</em></strong> or B) cower and back out. It’s the fact that people are scared to step outside their skills which happen to just be greater than their other skills. As for me, I just deal with the situation and let myself grow in it.</p>

<p>So because you have good memory and you can multiply 3 digit numbers in your head makes you smart? A sophomore in Calculus? Heck I finished Calculus AB in 7th grade, does that prove I’m genius? No. Because anyone with enough time and effort and slight ability can do that. Everyone can study Precalc in 8th grade. </p>

<p>Oh you can write a story? You can draw? Does that make you imaginative? :)</p>

<p>God forbid.
There are Nerds, and there are Gifted Genius’ to show the light of life.
Your just another Nerd confused about the Brain.</p>

<p>Edit:
Okay. I read your edit. Your correct.</p>

<p>I meant to say that everyone has a different brain setup, a different way of processing.</p>

<p>“cower and back out. It’s the fact that people are scared to step outside their skills which happen to just be greater than their other skills. As for me, I just deal with the situation and let myself grow in it.” </p>

<p>That is true, Albert Einstein was called ■■■■■■■■ by his own teacher when he was a kid. Yet he became the well known.
People just need to find their so called “Style”. </p>

<p>People with High IQ’s are not smarter, its just that their brain processes better for IQ tests.
So Logically everyone is of equal intelligence, just a different brain structure.</p>

<p>People with High IQ’s are not smarter, its just that their brain processes better for IQ related tasks.</p>

<p>“So Logically everyone is of equal intelligence, just a different brain way of processing.”</p>

<p>I just hated the idea that people thought they had extra brain cells or some kind of secret thing that makes them smart. When all they have, is a different brain. Which is not necessarily better, or worse, just different.</p>

6

<p>This is why its bad to say someone is a “■■■■■■/Stupid” because they have a very low IQ.</p>

<p>They are just different. Mentally.</p>

7

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m not following the logic. You think all humans are of equal intelligence, or are you referring to all sentient beings? In either case I disagree.</p>

8

<p>Let me fix this.
Its not correct to say that people are smarter than each other, just that their brain processes different.
And this is only applied to humans. As our DNA and Brain Complexity is very similar.</p>

<p>I’m sure an Alien can have all those characteristics because of how their brains are made.
But then you would need more Brain ‘Power’ to have stronger abilities.</p>

9

<p>

</p>

<p>But you haven’t supported that claim. Dismissing relatively poor performance on standardized metrics as merely the result of different but not less intelligent thinking processes requires additional support. I could, for example, say that ants are no less intelligent than humans and assert that they just think differently than we.</p>

10

<p>Yes you could say that. Thats why I said Humans only.</p>

<p>Because Ants have a different type of Evolved Brain than we do. They did not evolve to be intelligent. They also have ganglia(Smaller brains) along their body which would make it an invalid comparison to Human Brains. Human Brains are > 99% Related to each other. You would get a much lower estimation of percentage if we compared it to an ant’s.</p>

<p>Though this is ignoring the fact that humans are at a so called… fixed ratio of Neurons. So some people would have more ‘Brain Power’ than others because of simple factors such as homeostasis effects, energy levels, ect…</p>

<p>If you compared people that had the same amount of ‘Brain Power’; One that is good at english, the other mathematics, science would start to see deeper about the brain, not that you use your left or right side more often.</p>

11

<p>Dyslexics -> Process data in chunks, learns and understands Visually Ability.
Autistics -> Specialized in specific brain functions, one part works much higher than the other, so thats why its natural to be good at imagining and memorizing. Thats just natural, but Autistics are at a much different and greater ratio of change.</p>

</p>

<p>So basically you’re the epitome of a perfect high school student?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>When you lie about one thing, you’re bound to have lied in more.</p>

<p>Boom *****.</p>

13

<p>^Well… The Physical/Muscular relevance to my main idea is not really at much need because I meant reactivity, like quick reaction sports, but because the body controls your physical fitness more than the brain to some extent, I have to say, she is really OUT OF SHAPE… :)</p>

<p>I have yet to see someone who is truly a genius in all subjects of brain processing and has no struggle learning, but still a sports star… I can’t find anyone? I wonder why. The human body has limits :slight_smile: You can’t increase your Brain Power to 6000% lol</p>

<p>The ■■■■■ Jorghi is back under a new alias. The Ignore List feature still works. If you don’t know how to use it, PM me.</p>

<p>Feeding ■■■■■■ habituates them to contact with humans. It is important for both their sake and ours that we attempt to minimize ■■■■■-human interaction.</p>

<p>@SandwichGirl</p>

<p>That was after months of not doing any physical activity. My tennis season ended nearly a semester before the test and I didn’t even practice running for a long time. My mile time is back to 7-8 minutes. BTW I also said sports…not aerobic capacity. Get it straight SandwichGirl. Get it straight.</p>

<p>Are you an idiot? I was not trying to prove how I am the exemplary high school student everyone should be. I was proving how just because a person is good at one thing doesn’t mean that he or she isn’t good at anything else as a refutation to the OP’s claim. The only doubt here is whether you truly have a 760+ in Critical Reading on the SAT seeing as you can’t even read and understand what I was truly saying.</p>

<p>Geez, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you find it sad how you had to search through all my past threads? I don’t know whether I should pity you or just regard you as a dumb****.</p>

16

<p>^ That’s a ****ty mile time.</p>

17

<p>^ It’s not “****ty.” It’s average and proves that I am fit and bolsters my assertion of how I am physically fit, not how SandwichGirl attempted to portray me as: a person with a 11 minute mile time.</p>

18

<p>TRUFFLIEPUFF, lay off the personal attacks.</p>

19

<p>Hey, she started it.</p>

20

<p>

Average =/= Fit. 7-8 minute mile time =/= physically fit. Obviously an 11 minute mile would be even worse, but a 7-8 minute mile is nothing to be proud of.</p>
