The Super Mario Effect - Tricking Your Brain into Learning More | Mark Rober | TEDxPenn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2018
- When 50,000 of Mark Rober's 3 million UA-cam subscribers participated in a basic coding challenge, the data all pointed to what Rober has dubbed the Super Mario Effect. The UA-cam star and former NASA engineer describes how this data-backed mindset for life gamification has stuck with him along his journey, and how it impacts the ways he helps (or tricks) his viewers into learning science, engineering, and design. Mark Rober has made a career out of engineering, entertainment, and education. After completing degrees in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University and the University of Southern California, Rober joined NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2004. In his nine years as a NASA engineer, seven of which were on the Mars rover Curiosity team, Rober worked on both the Descent Stage (the jet pack that lowered the Rover to the surface) and some hardware on the Rover top deck for collecting samples. In 2011, Rober’s iPad-based Halloween costume helped launch both his creative costume company, Digital Dudz, and his UA-cam channel, which now boasts 3 million subscribers and 400 million views. His videos focus on creative ideas and science- and engineering-based pranks and activities. Rober is a regular guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!". Today, he does research and development work for a large technology company in Northern California, where he lives with his wife and son. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Just imagine if we didn't have grades in school and they taught us to learn from our mistakes instead
Right
Lol you still have to know where you stand
@@patrickananas1999 Like in the example in the video. Programming the car to drive the track. One group was told that they lost points, but both groups were told that they got it wrong and invited to try again. Maybe you could give points for beating the puzzle, no matter how many tries it takes. Or just leave out the points completely.
@@brendawalton2518 you mean like in university?
@@patrickananas1999 Yes there needs to be some sort of evaluation but letter grades themselves are useless. They just tell the student "oh you didn't do well" or "oh you're good." And they have such a negative connotation in our society that I think they should be gotten rid of entirely and replaced with a system that actually uses the exams to determine what curriculum each student receives. Not just stopping learning a subject after they got a C or D and moving on to another, actually using that information and allowing them to work on it in the future

I remember watching a documentary about video games. Video game designers mentioned that in later Mario titles they replaced the "Game Over" screen with a "Continue" screen. This was to encourage players to keep playing. Novice video game players would take "Game Over" too literally and stop playing all together. Video game psychology should be implemented more in education.
That's such a game changer

It took me years after leaving high school with a perfect GPA to realize that I didn't actually hate learning. I just hated THEIR version of learning. Now I realize it can be so different from how they do it, and now I love it and am learning lots of things I've always wanted to but never had the confidence to, and I feel myself learning so fast. I can finally ignore the sting of failure that was once driven into me.
@Hedge same here!
Me too
I have a dream to one day own and build a school. The dream came from my torturous experience in highschool and how the learning system was highly flawed, so I decided that one day I'll build a school and a new school system where the teaching method will actually help and Interest students into learning while also teaching them useful life lessons and classes.. this video but re-sparked my motivation
Tell me how you learn things now
@@EnchWraits Whatever you want to learn, spend a lot of time on the basics. The key is to learn those basics from a bunch of different sources! Each teacher will fill in the gaps of another teacher's lesson, or present things in a way that's easier for a particular person to understand. This strategy helps you get a firm grasp so that everything you learn from that point on will stick way easier. UA-cam is great for this. I never rely fully on one teacher or source. It can also be a much more relaxing way to learn because there is no pressure to understand everything right away. You just have to expose yourself to the content. It will work its way into your understanding through repeated exposure. Do some practice or research whenever you're inspired or have a question too. I hope this advice helps you and anyone reading!
tl;dr: Repetition of exposure to the basics from a variety of teachers/sources.
Respect to Marc for dedicating his life for 16% of us who needed a little reassurance that it is okay to fail and learn from your mistakes.

Hola best comment
So basically what you're saying is, if we reward people for their success, instead of condemning them for their failures, we'd be more successful.
yup
15 min video in 4 lignes. Maybe i should of read your comment and move on :))
I don't think the teachers should reward you with anything because if u don't succeed u would feel like you lost sth or was punished by not getting anything .....i think they just have to make the problems more real so it's interesting to learn new things and to make it fun with experiments.
Well... people get rewarded for their success otherwise it wouldn't have been success, but we also get punished for our failures.

I actually really like how he mentioned that this isn't just a "stay positive!" mentality, but more of an outlook on the challenge itself.

Context please
I have struggled in the modern education system my whole life. The way I learn best is just like Mark explained, and as someone with learning “disabilities”, I’ve always struggled to keep up with any educational system due to the emotional and mental stress involved. It’s all about the grade: did you fail or succeed? You made a mistake, your grade gets docked. You won’t get anywhere unless you have high grades etc That always stressed me out. And in school there isn’t really any going back to “try again” unless you’re Rick and have all the time one the world (even then often you cannot).
Learning should be fun, memorable, and focused on the actual learning process and not always perfection along the way. Mistakes should be an opportunity to learn and grow rather than an accumulating sense of failure for when you actually struggle. There are also so many different learning styles, yet overall the education system is caters really only to one or a select few.
This leads to people like me struggling, breaking down due to stress physically and mentally, and eventually quitting due to trauma and the inability to keep up. Self-esteem goes out the window, and as you watch other succeed where you couldn’t (because you were not allowed to due to your differences), you eventually begin to believe the lies that you could never be as smart as persons xyz.
I hope someday we actually apply real science and real learning theory (as well as a dose of compassion and empathy) to our education system, both primary, secondary, and beyond.
And while I don’t have all the answers, I do heartily believe we are doing a disservice to students of all ages everywhere when we don’t cultivate an environment of learning, but rather an environment that expects us to get everything correct the first time. The latter is obviously unrealistic, and also doesn’t leave a lasting impression in your long term learning memory: mistakes and failed attempts are one of the best ways to learn - you will know the whys, the hows, and the why nots so much better than you would if you just only got things “right” all the time. Scientifically speaking, this also leads to stagnation: if we assume what we know or did is right and there are no other options possible, we won’t grow or think outside the box.
Wonderful Ted Talk. This is why I recommend UA-camrs like Mark Rober, Smarter Every Day, and dog trainers like Susan Garret to people. It’s important to make learning fun and accessible, while also encouraging people to take on big challenges without fearing failure.

Not a bug, that's a feature.
Like the SAO logout button. The flipside of the feature argument is that not all features are good. Just the concept behind them.
(The creator of SAO didn't want to kill people, he just wanted to create a dream world and populate it. The concept was a completely different world. The feature was an inability to return to the world that actually mattered.)
Still a good point he's making, just figured I'd play devil's advocate here.

I live by and try to teach my children “it’s not a true failure until you say you can’t do it”. It took me twenty five years to crochet a project that turned out as intended. I never failed at crochet I simply got frustrated and set it aside for awhile. I NEVER said I can’t. I simply said I hadn’t mastered it YET!
You might find more success with less focus on the failures. The negative feelings towards failing are unnecessary, and don't help in any way. Although it may be inevitable to be disappointed from a failure, depending on the consequences.
It is much better to learn rather than any other outcome from failure. So the need for disappointment or negative feelings are unnecessary, and harmful to learning.
Same for me but for drawing!!!
Why I hate my country's school system:
Me: Teacher, can I try to do this test again? I think I know what I did wrong
Teacher: Shut up, go back to your seat and accept the grade I gave you.
the schooling system: i see nothing
RIGHT!
True that
The thing is .. these people went into the challenge wanted to test it out, maybe wanting to learn coding. In schools often students are not in school from their own free will but because they have to. This is kind of the reward/punishment strategy that often gets used, sometimes in the wrong way
You are right

At least he doesnt worry about the trust issues. He just keeps pushing forward haha
Absolutely beautiful Ted talk. I just wish that school’s would apply this logic. My biggest issue with school is that its mentality is all wrong. Every single aspect of it has issues but this is the biggest problem, whenever you get a below average grade you end up mourning your failure and end up compensating for the failure for the rest of the year. If school positively incentivizes your grade instead of punishing you for getting hit by a metaphorical green shell, than our education may end up being so much better than that of our eastern neighbors.
Not sure who your eastern neighbors are but I feel like the schools in the most Eastern countries are the ones that need the most fixing
@@racool911 true
Something REALLY great about gamification is that it's also VERY useful for individuals with memory disorders that affect short term memory. And the thing is, ADHD is one such disorder in that it not only impairs short term memory, but it also affects all levels of executive functioning. Gamification actually helps to handle the symptoms that occur from this, but only if said gamification also has an actual level of accountability involved. By creating that level of accountability, you're essentially creating an alternate reward circuit and this allows you to train yourself to engage in tasks by breaking them down into smaller bits that are dealt with one by one, and in short chunks of time followed by tiny little breaks to recenter yourself. It essentially takes the problems with focusing and impulse control that most with ADHD experience and use them to get things done.
Beautifully said. As someone with ADHD, learning and retaining are slippery slopes. I have learned that dopamine is a key component to retention. If I can be "taught" something in a way that makes it enjoyable, I'm far more likely to actually retain what I learned. Sit me in front of some sort of slide presentation, a text, a droning video.. I'll most likely be more engaged counting the dots on the ceiling and remember nothing. This is important to me because I also have a young son with ADHD, and I do everything I can to help him avoid or get through the pitfalls I had growing up (and still do in a lot of cases), as well as helping anyone that instruct him understand the way he learns things.
huh
maybe i do have undiagnosed adhd
Yep... Those of us with ADHD are "interest based learners". This is precisely why I can retain the insignificant & completely useless information that I Googled - for someone else, no less - 2 years ago better than the paragraph I just read... for the 4th time. LOL

I think this is why I'm learning Spanish really quickly. I treated every word as if it was like a gateway to the entire culture. And because of that it inspired me to learn and study much more.
Mark, you're a legend.
Hii do you have any suggestion for me as a new learner for spanish language, because i'm a bit confuse how do i start to learn this language? Thank you
@@everydy04 I would start searching up the most common nouns, verbs, prepositions, etc, and then learning the different tenses of them. (i.e. Ser, Estar, Necesitar, Poder, Querer, Hablar, Tener, Ir) And finding someone who actually speaks the language to help coach and practice your conversation on. I'm learning through school and family so I have kind of an easy route, but for just independent study I would start by learning important words and how to use them first. Along with how to construct sentences.

"The Master has had more failures, than the Novice even tried"
I acknowledge your review!

similar to how tony hawk said '' the pro skateboarders fall more than the beginners''
@The Police Why do you say ew?
What's even more important is learning from failures. If you don't do that you'll practice bad habits.
“The difference between the Student and the Master is that the Master has failed more times than the novice has tried.”
The main problem is the amount of time... When we were Young, we had all the time in the world. But now failure costs time and in some cases money. And that's what demotivates us.
why does it domotivate you? lost time and Money? good now u have learned the hard way next time youll be wiser and sharper and stronger more inteligent… and that my friend there no Money that can buy that.. you can get time and Money and to learn that experience and youll not get it.. one thing i told my mother and i was young… you think i will learn that eletricity hurts because you told me so? sth i cant see.. i will only trully learn with i get a shock. and that experience noone can teach me.
Time can be limited, and losing money is like the -5 points scenario.
Time and money are factors to consider, of course. Remember though, he did give examples (e.g. the dartboard) from adulthood. We still need to put food on the table and want a certain level of comfort, but we have some free time and get to decide what (and how many tries) is worth spending it on.
Why higher ed needs to be free/student loan forgiveness,so people can MOVE ON with their lives...
Time = Money
Dang, this was such a good talk. When the person is in constant stress, the fight or flight mode, there is no room for creativity and curiosity, which is the driving force of evolution.
with adhd, i now realize i’ve had this thought process for most things for as much of my life as i can remember. it’s rather intrinsic for me, but many people have tried to almost teach me out of it and tell me that it’s “the wrong way” and “that’s not how the real world works”.
Mark is actually describing what makes the Finnish Education System so succesful: during the first years of basic comprehensive school (age seven to age sixteen), kids are basically not graded. No high stakes tests, mostly verbal assesments and so on. So the atmosphere is relaxed and that leads to children learning more and better. Remove the stress and learning gets to be a happy activity. Genius analogy BTW, well done Mark.
Has it changed recently? It's been about 15 years since I ended that school. Back then we definitely had tests and even "surprise tests" (not sure of the phrase) that were all graded. I didn't mind at all. My parents had come up with a reward system for excellent grades, so I was looking forward to them most of the time. That being said, I like Rober's idea. In university we had a whole course completely gamified and it was the most interesting and immersive educational experience I've ever had. I kept sinking in hours into it night after night. It was a team competition which made it even more exciting.
@@janbo8331 those surprise tests are called pop quizzes in my experience
@@jackspy5708 Ah, that's it! Cheers for refreshing my vocabulary.
@@janbo8331 It's a painful experience in my country, tastes start in 3rd grade for some reason and painfully continue till 12th grade (10th and 12th grade are shown too much importance and there before you have to study like you're in college in 10th grade) which is very painful and makes many students take their lives becuase of the peer pressure, high expectations and the fear of failure which is sad, nobody does anything about it which only makes things worst.

I love your comment !
We had a teacher that made school opposite
She usually would explain a concept, solve only 2 or 3 easier problem of that concept and those 2 or 3 problems would cost us 51 years (get the reference) and then clas dismissed
Next ,new topic, same 2 or 3 problems , class dismissed
And suddenly there's this surprise test that was set up in a unique way
Firstly the questions were worded to have the Guinness record for the most confusing ones ever
Secondly it was ensured that those questions are nowhere to be found, not in math books , not on the internet
And the catch was you had infinite attempts so u could make multiple copies of the question paper and solve it over a week at home , school toilet whatever , and in that you could submit and the marks would get to privately
But not the answers just marks

AMAZING TALK.
I'll share my experience related to this.
I personally don't like memorizing, I can't memorize well, and I really hate activities that needs memorizing. In order for me to learn, I need to understand why or how and so.
Now for starters I'm a really lazy person that does things like few hours away from deadlines but at the same time I didn't want to fail school. So I was willing to sacrifice my whole 11th grade, ready to fail and repeat for me to know what's the most effective study method for me just enough that I could get a passing grade. And yes I did succeed in finding the effective study method for me, and had really good grades, rank 2 in our class.
On 12th grade, covid was in our country, and classes were taught online and long story short, yep online classes are not for me. I was not taking my 12th grade seriously compared to the previous years just enough to pass and have received the lowest grade that I had in my life which was 79 on a major subject. (100 is the highest and 75 is the min. passing). I still passed but I didn't graduate as an honor student and since I had a line of 7, it was hard for me to have a scholarship.
After 12th grade, I didn't continue to college since I knew online classes aren't really for me. After a school year, face to face classes is back, I now enrolled to a local public college and had a full-time job (8 hours). Its hard because I had classes everyday even Saturday and Sundays and had 4 hours sleep or less, and I sometimes end up oversleeping.
During exams I only study (with that effective study method of mine) for an hour or less and sometimes I just study when I arrive in the classroom (sometimes the instructor is late, thank God) with the mindset of not being pressured and scared to fail and repeat the subject. I end up having good scores and some exams I was the top scorer.
First semester is done and for now my grades are 1.00 as the highest and 1.50 as the lowest, and tbh there's still 4 subjects that hasn't given grades maybe I'll get a 2.00+ who knows. (1.00 as the highest grade, 5.00 as the lowest, 3.00 is the passing I think except for major subs idk).
Listening to this talk I now understand why I fail in my language learning and when I tried to learn the guitar. I was both in a hurry to learn them, both scared and dissapointed of failure. Thinking back, when I was learning Japanese and I couldn't write あ I gave up. And yep it was the most stupidest thing since that's the first letter/symbol and I gave up after an hour or so not being able to write it. And in guitar, my sister was always mocking me of how I play so I was desperate to learn fast which I also gave up after some time.
I even saw some people learn by making the lessons as a song (personally) or some really made a game or video game out of it (on the internet).
This is really an amazing talk, gave me some insights, and made me realize things, thank you so much!
I come back and watch this video once a year. Such a great life lesson.

In school, the majority study for the test, not to learn.
exactly
This! I know WHAT to write in an exam. But I don’t know WHY I’m writing it.

Not when I’m forced
I’m sure thats true for lots and lots of people

I recently retired after teaching middle school science for 22 years. I had a poster in my room which said, “Imagine how much science we could all learn if we did not have grades.” Thanks Mark for getting this idea out there.
Yes, that reminds me how our youngest used to say, "School gets in the way of my education." He had a point. :)
schools measure how well you listen as opposed to teaching you
Is there any online poster for it? Love the idea
Can't fail if we force everyone to pass. That's progress. Maybe we should just hand out college degrees at elementary school graduation. They would get them eventually anyway and this way they wouldn't have to experience any embarrassing set backs on that journey. /s
Grow up.
@@TheCreepyb4by or you grow up. That’s not the point. You’re probably 8. The point is to incentivise people to go after science and be motivated them self. Today, everyone wants only good grades, no one wants to do science.

Honeslty I don't want to be offensive to anyone because I understand that it's difficult for other people to learn at school but that's just what makes the weak... If I learned anything from this video it's to not give up, you guys are just making comments implying that our school is so rigged that only a few make it out fine. That's not true, if you really do what you're supposed to and keep going you will get good grades and actually learn things, it's up to you whether you want to or not. Again, I feel where you guys are at, my biology teacher just sat there and gave us a boring lecture but I keep going and eventually passed with a 98% and actually learned everything.
this is so encouraging. i'm really in a depressive and anxiety state. now i found a way to overcome it but it seems that i will get beaten again by it. it is so encouraging to see that it is okay to be seen as a failure and try again
"Please try again." -Mark Rober This is such a powerful statement with your context! Thank you, Mark!
remember *THIS IS THE GUY WHO TAUGHT SQUIRRELS HOW TO PARKOUR*
if this is school they will tell you how to do instead of learning and making mistake without people getting angery
LOL
Your right! I saw the video
Now I have to go watch another video!!! :-)
Pro Tip: Squirrels have known Parkour far longer than us.

He is, he just does it through UA-cam.

62 years older here. Now I know I can learn anything. Thanks kid. You've changed my intellectual life.
I think also the idea of 'pressure' is interesting. Applying just that 5 lost points of pressure makes some people rise to the challenge and solve it much faster, but it also makes alot of people if not most fold. I see this in alot of areas in life
Today it sparked in my mind that the 'pressure' system is built to make good employees
This talk is way better than those quotes just saying 'failure is the ladder to success'.

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.
You see in trading cryptocurrency, one requires more than just a primary knowledge of crypto. It is best to trade with an expert to avoid unnecessary losses. It's advisable to have a professional trader/broker who is an expert in the field to help you manage your account.
Binary trading is a good and reliable way of building wealth which also create opportunities for crypto Believers
People are scared of investing because of high rate of scammers, and unprofessional broker in the market.
Can he teach me more about Forex cos i'm ready to invest my Bitcoins with him so I can get to understand the process better. And please how can I communicate with this Mr Celso Fx Lorenzo. I've already lost enough of money trading for myself.

Whoever invented school should have seen this TEDx Talk first.
iirc school wasn't ever entirely to teach to begin with, it was an excuse to keep kids off of the street after they weren't allowed to work in dangerous industrial locations. I could be wrong though
all modern education is cucked anyway because of they way it was designed by the Js
It was the Soviets what do you expect
School is fine, it's grades that are the problem
Yeah, but the designers of the Prussian school system would have ignored it anyway since they're designed to make obedient soldiers and factory workers; you'd need to go back to the older Ciceronian model to have a system designed for raising creative problem solvers.
I needed this so much. As a born perfectionist, I’d procrastinate so badly and feel like a complete failure when I’m confronted with almost any task that doesn’t provide immediate reward/feedback. Reframing the challenges and developing that into a mindset would have helped immensely. Big thanks to Mark, I’m gonna be a life-long supporter of you.
I can relate to you. If 90% of the circumstances aren't the way I want it to be, I tend to not even begin. This talk is a paradigm shift for me.
same here mate
Same! I hated myself for this.When tje result turns out not to be good, I become mad at myself and dissapointed and I feel like doing nothing, thus result to more failures...I realize I should take more things easily. Life is too short to worry about some spilled milk
Same here, I always feel bad when making mistakes, blaming a lot of guilt on myself which drags me down, but no matter what, just don't give up and try again... And again... And again... Until it will work out
Learning from mistakes - the best and worst invention of humanity 😂🤣
St St in the end,you can look back and be proud of yourself for not giving up.😊 Keep it up!
I think one of the hardest parts is that you know that Mario level is passable. Yet we doubt ourselves at times.
This is genuinely one of the best videos I've ever watched. What an incredible concept, it just clicked. Thank you.

The "Super Mario" part is so relatable, I tried over and over again, learning to do the DK summit double. My biggest teacher? Failure!
I’ve been rlly struggling with depression in my sophomore yr of college, but this just inspired me to make a project for myself: instead of doing lecture notes hw w dread like normal, I’m going to try and make the BEST study space possible, I like room decorating and efficiency innovating and it actually makes me excited for 2 hours of lecture notes!!!

I have an Autistic 10yo son who is addicted to his video games, including Mario Bros, on his Nintendo; Thanks to Mark, I now understand a little bit more why he gets very emotional when he loses - yet never gives up.
I would have been interested to see another version of the online driving test where, every time the player made farther progress, they gained back points. to see if the reward can overcome the potential loss, and how that can factor in to the problem solving process
Interesting, but the least amount of consequences from the failure or least amount of focus on the failures will always lead to better learning.
I like your idea, but again, why put more effort to making more consequences and put more points?
To me it sounds like a lot more effort than it's worth, than to just go without consequences, and be allowed to continue, or restart.

The problem with school is that it doesn’t encourage you to try again or to keep doing it till you get it right. What school ends up being is you either get it right or you don’t and usually your left with a grade your not happy with and can’t go back to fix. Schools need to stop expecting “perfection” from students as they are the ones trying to learn and do better, not master the material in one go.
This!!!
💜💜
None of the tests in my school matter until the last test in high school. I guess that system is much better, since you aren’t effected by bad grades until the end.
Same with bosses and wifes.
i AGREE, also, the grading and ranking system should end so that students can focus on learning and not grades/class ranks

I have professors at my college who don't subtract points from exams, but they add. Seeing +5 makes people happier than -5 which honestly is true (for me at least). I also have professors who called exams "quizzes" or final exams "test # _" rather than final exam since it stresses people out less.

I can attest to this "trick" through my driving experience. My mom always flips out, yells and lectures every time i make a mistake when I drive, no matter how big or small. It made me lose all motivation to drive and I would sob at times. Started having nightmares about driving (still do). But when my grandpa took me out to drive, he never lectured me. He spoke softly and nicely. He instructed me in a good manner. With my mom, there were always failures being pointed out. But driving with my grandpa makes me want to get my license this year.
Good luck dude, I hope you get it

This makes so much sense to me because i'm an artist and i find that if i sit there concerned about my work and it's quality and if people think it will be good or if i think it will be good, my work suffers and i can't even do it. But if i just give myself chances to fail, chances to make bad drawings, chances to learn from where i went wrong, my work improves dramatically.

This is basically any self taught programmer. Testing over and over with countless trail and error. Actually, thats how scientist make new discoveries too. Constantly trying new thing
It applies to basically everything. You do it again and again until you get it right. Music? Drawing? Programming? Editing? Everything follows this same principle. You just gotta do it again and again until you get it right

Programming is just a thing that can't be taught, someone can explain principles, syntax but everything is just pure trying and googling.

@@ccheeto9678 Yeah, it is a experience thing, you can learn computer science to have a head start by understanding the underliying principles theoretically, but programming itself is a practical endeavor
