Many certified logic brain trainers consulted: Teacher Yuan, when I was teaching children's thinking, I found that there is a type of children who are particularly diligent, but they are always slow to react and have poor understanding. Their brain is as unrestrained as a lump. Children like this have very little effect when using the logic three-part method to carry out intensive training. Why is this?
I have always emphasized that brain strengthening is like fitness. Many problems reflected by the mind and intelligence can be found in physical health through analogy. The reason why the "intelligent teaching prescription" prescribed by this certified logic brain trainer is that he is wrongly judged.
For the concept of "intelligence", people have always paid attention to the aspect of "intelligence" in the past and ignored the existence of "energy". In fact, "energy" has a huge impact on intelligence. Scientific experiments have found that the brain accounts for less than 2% of the total weight of the human body. However, even if the body is in a static state, in order to maintain basic survival, the energy consumed by the brain is as high as 20%-25% of the entire body, and the energy consumed by the brain of children aged 5-6 may account for 60% of the entire body. If we compare our intelligence to the brightness of a light bulb, then whether we need a child or an adult to have a high intelligence level, it is obviously inseparable from the support of high intelligence (high battery).
The child is "slowly responsive, poor understanding, and his brain is as unopened as an elm. There are many reasons for "not being open to it" here, but the first treatment direction is "recharge" rather than "strong intelligence". This is like teaching a child to play basketball. His weak and sickly always shoot the ball and never enter the basket. At this time, the correct training plan for the coach is not to further strengthen the child's shooting skills, but to first exercise the child's basic physical fitness, such as long-distance running, push-ups, and ball-coat volume. These trainings have nothing to do with shooting skills, but are the basic conditions for accurate shooting.
If a figurative metaphor is used to describe a child's condition of "slow reaction, poor understanding, and unopening of the brain like a lump", it is similar to "thinking myocardial infarction" that leads to energy obstruction and brain hypoxia and unable to think smoothly and flexibly. For the treatment plan prescribed for this "intellectual disease", the foundation should be built first to strengthen the internal origin of the brain, rather than focusing on external thinking techniques and methods.

[Principle of Thinking]
1. Flowing association is a smart teaching solution for "external diseases and internal treatment". Whether it is for children and adults to respond slowly, have poor understanding, and have obvious smart treatment effects.
2. There are no special skills requirements during the training process. It only focuses on thinking speed and durability. The training time can be continuously extended from 1 minute. The training standard is that the more concepts associated within a unit time, the better.
3. Flowing association training is divided into two categories. The first category is random association. The concept only needs to be related to concepts. For example, from "tourism" to "space" is associated with "space" because of the future space tourism. The second type is causal association, and there must be a certain causal relationship between concepts, such as the result of "Russia's defeat" leading to "land cedes compensation". In the primary stage of training, random association is the main focus, and in the advanced stage of training, causal association is the main focus.
4. The longer the running associative training time, the more "energized" the mind is, which is the basis for supporting long-term intellectual activities. Many times, the mind suddenly pauses and falls into a blank state. It is caused by insufficient brain intelligence and energy, which turns on the self-protection mechanism of . This is just like the lack of energy in the human body, and strenuous exercise will inevitably lead to a fainting effect.
5. If a child is innately mentally and energy-deficient, it will inevitably lead to various learning disabilities and . For this kind of problem, it is ineffective to rely solely on extending the learning time, repeatedly indoctrinating preaching, teaching learning methods and other means. It's like a glass of water that can give birth to a grass germinates, but it's impossible to give birth to a tree. As a parent or brain-building coach, you must first help your child reserve more "intelligence", and then you can expect your child to show higher intelligence or intelligence.
