What We Get WRONG About Self-Control! (Hint: You Don't Have It … Sometimes)
Do you have self-control?
Of course, your intuitive response to this question is probably “It depends”.
Sure, it’s easy to curb your chocolate craving at 9:30 in the morning … but not so much at 9:30 at night.
However, if this is the case, why do we so often treat things like inhibition and self-control as static, inborn traits?
In this video, I look at a new piece of research relevant to this question:
** On the (Un)reliability of the Stop Signal Task: Measures of Inhibition Lack Stability Over Time (Christina Thunberg et al, 2024)
It doesn’t offer a ton of answers, but it raises several important questions.

Did Lockdowns Really Cause Learning Loss?

Question: Did lockdowns really cause learning loss? To be honest, I thought this question was open and shut years ago. Of course the lockdowns resulted in learning loss … right?

    Whole Word system looks like a prefect recipe for failure.. but of course, I'm Italian, and we have a 95% phonic system (as language), so what do I know of languages who seems mainly contradicting themselves 70% of the time in their written form.. like English. I remember watching movies from USA and really be puzzled by the "spelling bees" competitions.. in Italian they look very easy to win. The fact is that English speaking countries can't relay on solely phonics, because your language developed in a non linear way (historically speaking).. so you have to find solutions for this problem.. but the problem isn't on way or another to learn, but the language itself.

Should I teach my 16 year old to drive by blasting the radio and instructing her to ignore the road like me?

    I’m teaching my son, and I’m very interested in this topic. He’s almost 4 and started reading using phonics just after he turned 3. However, these last few months he has almost entirely wanted to read using “whole words”, instead of breaking words down. He finds breaking words down cumbersome and disruptive. And it seems to ruin his comprehension of the story. Sure kids become better readers using phonics long term, but the process is sooo much more effort for them and turns reading into a puzzle rather then something to enjoy. So I’m torn, should I let my son learn reading naturally? Or should I teach him even if it sucks the joy out of reading? Surely there’s a balance to be struck here.

    • @JaredCooney
      @JaredCooney 2 місяці тому

      Learning to walk is also a difficult puzzle that must be broken down if we want effective walkers. All learners across all ages will attempt short cuts which make the 'learning' more seamless in the short term, but which will negatively impact learning in the long term. I know it stinks and nothing about it is fun - but once you've locked down decoding, then the books one can read for pleasure are many and vast. Let him do both would be my advice - have fun with whole words to keep motivated - for for X amount of minutes each day or week, continue training the unfun stuff. No athlete, musician, physician, lawyer, or reader became skilled overnight - they all went through the arduous process of learning before being able to shine!

    • @charliepeterson1745
      @charliepeterson1745 2 місяці тому

      @@JaredCooney the difference with walking is we don’t designate structured walking time where the child is explicitly taught all the different components of walking. The kid watches the people around them walk and figures it out in their own time. My problem with a purely synthetic phonics approach is that it takes the joy and meaning out of reading and turns it into a chore. Kids learn best when they find the task meaningful and joyful. Surely having them read books (like elephant and piggie), that have both high frequency sight words, and decodable words strikes the right balance here.

    As an early years educator who is passionate about child development, I self taught myself by exposing with tons of free webinars, articles, books, and podcast from the internet. I'm so passionate about how brains work that I've come across speakers who came from different backgrounds like preschool teachers, cognitive science, psychologist, clinical psychologist, organizational psychologist, journalism, leadership coach, and even a youtuber about bikes and roads! And it's true! The more I get to expose myself to the different disciplines, the more clarity I've found in my own philosophy in teaching and learning. They all look different in the surface, but turns out all of them are advocating for the same things. It's really mind boggling how different disciplines can have the same concept (in this case semantic knowledge). The only problem is, as someone who grew up being an introvert who isn't yet proficient in socially communicating to other adults, I'm having a hard time sharing my learnings (that I didn't learn in formal school) to my colleagues and friends.

    Interesting Jared. I'm just wondering about how far we can stretch the implications of this study? The task that these people were asked to perform seems quite menial - can we therefore extrapolate from that that something like inhibition is specific rather than general, or do we need some more evidence based on a more complex testing method??

    • @JaredCooney
      @JaredCooney 4 місяці тому

      Good question: two things. First, this IS the gold-standard test of inhibition - so it represents the primary task we use for diagnoses within psychometrics. Second, I was just using this study as an exemplar for the larger issue: most things, like inhibition, are widely accepted as contextual in most fields beyond psychometrics (behavioural and cognitive psychology has long linked inhibition to fluctuating Top-Down/Bottom-Up processes) - unfortunately, education typically relies on psychometric research. So just wanted to get teachers and educators thinking beyond static models of Learner Profiles and the like.

    Focus patterns here is defined as unconscious method of how someone is assessing a problem and which elements they are concentrating on. Out of curiosity do you think focus patterns from birth could be the key in producing the difference in results? The study established anyone can learn and learning rates are practically parallel however where the student is focusing may help accelarate their results. You often hear about 'genius children' and you had spoken about 'rage to master' earlier. 'Rage to master' being a term being coined by Dr Ellen Winner. She said the children were predisposed to be good at the subject they were mastering and this is what drives them further. But predispositon for any skill at any age could be related to a deep unconscious method of which part grabs your attention? Example being addition with numbers. Some people when learning to focus on addition may get caught up on the numbers and how large or small they are, others on the end result and finally a small amount interested in why. The first two groups: the caught up on numbers size and end result may not progress quickly but the group focused on the why would progress faster and further. This would then lead to the idea of 'natural talent'. Now all 3 groups would not understand why the differences is produced. The other two groups would most likely be better at something else. This would not be a subject in class but something else that may relate to the unconscious focus pattern. For example the second group was focused on the end result of what two numbers add up to. Considering this fact that they were focused on the end result. If they were presented with a problem where only the end result mattered but the problem was structured in a way to make it look like the end result did not matter then chances are they may pick up on that problem faster than any other group. This would then lead to that group looking like they are 'naturally talented'. I am not sure if addition is usually struggled upon or a good example but I hope this illustrates the point I am trying to make which is the general way in which someone focuses on things since birth is invisble difficult to assess but produces these differences. I believe that this deep unconscious focus pattern will then produce such differences when it comes to IQ. So in other word everyone in average can do anything but how there deep unconscious focus processes will affect there performance and it may take longer for someone to get a topic or to because of this. The speed at which they are learning will have little to no effect tho on their ability to contribute and work though. I hope this makes sense and it doesn't too stupid. Not sure if this is an idea in any of the sciences, never seen anything about it but look forward to hearing your response. Thank youf or taking the time to read this. Much appreciated. :)

    Is it that computers harm learning, or is it that educators have not changed the teaching method to best utilize the computer? If they spend the majority of their time playing video games, then maybe education needs to become more like a video game. We cannot use a 19th centry school model to push 20th century ideas on a 21st century platform. We need to upgrade our educational process to reflect the 21st century tools we have. As an adult I use my computer and mobile phone to look up lots of information that helps me on my educational path. Many young kids who come to me from our schools can use their phones to get on social media and play games, but I have to teach them how to use their phone to do research and educate themselves.

    • @JaredCooney
      @JaredCooney 5 місяців тому

      I hear you, but disagree vehemently. Changing a social institution to suit a tool is anathema to the function of tools in society. Man should build tools to enhance our lives - not adapt our lives to ensure the tools we've built have a role. Unfortunately, once computers entered the home (and the pocket), the battle for digital learning was lost. Any and all attempts to 'gamify' learning work only by reducing learning and re-defining learning to mean something less than it meant pre-tech. I'd urge you to watch my video "The Ed Tech Revolution Has Failed" to see the full argument and the data showing how adapting to tech harms (rather than helps) learning. Blaming teachers for 'not using the tool correctly' is close to blaming the victim in this particular instance (would be far better served blaming the tech companies who forced these tools into school with zero research to support their use).

  • @r0nchmeister

    I don't love that quote that you highlighted ("anyone can learn anything they want"), because they're hedging the answer to their own question. They didn't ask whether anyone can learn anything they want, but rather whether anyone can learn to be GOOD at anything they want. My read is that effectively the researchers are actually saying "no" but without doing so explicitly. It's simply not likely that they forgot how they initially qualified their own question. For the sake of argument, though, analyzing the conclusion on its face, it's an overbroad conclusion because they haven't really shown that anyone can learn anything they want, but rather that they can improve their declarative memory on a chosen topic. Given that intrinsic motivation is a factor in learning rate at each stage, starting with the very initial course, it seems like the best way to answer whether anyone can answer anything they want is by measuring initial learning rates + rates after practice sessions among only the very intrinsically motivated. Perhaps they did do this and you just didn't mention it, but if not, it's a dubious design decision (though to be sure it's possible that if the students could choose the topic they wanted to learn about, then that might at least address intrinsic motivation but it wouldn't be surefire).
