21st-century advances in cognition reveal each mind is a collection of processes that more or less communicate with each other.
In short, our mind is a community. Sometimes, it’s a committee. Sometimes, it’s a jury. Other times, it’s a Quaker meeting. On any given day, it’s a contentious town hall forum. Once in a while, it’s a barroom brawl. Each of us engages these systems in a distinctive way.
What's more, if we’re successful enough to push our limits, we all achieve situational learning disabilities. If you haven’t, you’re almost certainly under-challenged. Top-performing individuals learn to embrace, manage, and tune these distinctions. As a result, they put their unique signatures on their accomplishments.
A lot of people are stuck in mid-20th-century constructs. This results in tools designed to type people rather than to identify distinctiveness, and mindsets that say people who spell conventionally, don’t fidget, or don’t um er are somehow smarter and more in control.
Knowing the science behind all this can help you, not only to understand and manage your own distinctiveness better, it makes it possible to recognize and leverage the distinctions of others, as you navigate through the waters of life, education, and work.
Kairos Cognition takes complex research on thinking and learning and makes it personable and easy to understand, with practical applications to embrace and tune your cognitive distinctiveness.
