Understanding Thinking: Maps Models Meanings Goals Motivation And Neural Networks
Product Description / b>
this book explains how you learn, that our conscious experience before-trapping neural networks ‘generalization’ and ‘abstract’ from a stream of personal and cultural experiences to build our causality maps and models of reality, our value system and our emotional associations. It explores the strengths and weaknesses of human thinking and shows how to take conscious control of our personal development, renewal of old and dysfunctional models of reality, to take into account. . . more>>

Evans begins with a brief history of the idea “that allows him to remind the Greeks with an evaluation of different approaches to truth and the thought of Plato and Aristotle (and the rail system nicely against Postmodernism!). He follows this with a long comparison of public computers and the human mind. His main point is that our minds are much like computers, but is more like neural networks. general computers are linear and do everything the same way each time (as scheduled), while human brains and neural networks can learn as they go along and change their answers based on what they have learned. It is interesting that “most of the biological networks writing or editing memories every time you log in, so you can adjust the old memories to new contexts and experiences.” Evans added: “This can lead to distortions and inaccuracies. Our memories can be adapted and reinterpreted to fit with our current beliefs or expectations of our current social group.” (P. 76) Or, I might add, in line with the view of a prosecutor on facts of a case!
The third chapter Evans presents an elaborate design of the characters in response to the question “Who is in control of your mind?” He uses icons to represent these characters, “Threats and emotions”, which would be called a boy acute “autopilot”, which regulates things like “thirst … heartbeat, respiration, blood pressure etc …” “” Ego More Main camera, a monster with the head of Medusa Freudian ruler of the brain “management” with “sub personality”, “The Thinker aware” that can be nerd by competent and finally “the consciousness”, which is a bit “away games and the people rightly and sometimes judges.
The fourth chapter features Evans Graphic Systems thinking. “He believes that words and writing is often below to make the schematic model leads us to an understanding of complex ideas and relationships. The fifth and final chapter, Evans tries to lead us beyond the mind “pre-conscious” for positive change and autonomous individual.
Evans makes a nice contrast between our own pre-conscious and aware of our own with the clear understanding that the former knows so much more than the latter, and that one reason is that we have an “autopilot” that works well without the aid awareness. indeed in many areas of our consciousness would only confuse matters and, in evolutionary sense, be maladaptive. In Evans shows an admirable knowledge of neurology, religion, psychology and history. I particularly liked his observation that religious rituals and regular laughter, singing, grooming, etc., can give euphoria to the brain. (P. 40) also great is his observation that the Bible is a classic documentary about human psychology. “(P. 78) One of the religion that is often overlooked even by experts is the fact that religions, in addition to what they are psychologists.
Another interesting observation made by the” Fluff Buster ” Evans is from page 64: “Some linguists have suggested that our ability enormous geographical mapping may have provided the basis for the development of human language and culture. It is true that many business structures in human language, and people, a taste of spatial inclusion, exclusion and limited by, with intersections, connections, roads, center edge contrast, orientation, direction, the hierarchy, up, down, up, over, over, front, rear, size, length, soil types, surface types, and so on. “
There is an index, bibliography or footnotes without foot. There is a” dictionary “, and defined certain terms used Evans, concepts, context, critical thinking, induction, inference, intuition, paradigm, time and place, etc. If the latter, he notes, “is our perception of time and space created by our neural network and seems entirely credible and reliable. mystics, ancient and modern science tells us that our pre-conscious perception of time and space can be quite inaccurate. “
One of the items in the list are special. This is” Graphic Thinking “, in Evans writes:” It focuses our attention in a way that helps to implement our valuable knowledge for awareness around the world in consciousness … “As a dyslexic unintimidated, Evans samples using graphs and charts to help learning. It asks a rhetorical question from a university academic advisor:” Why dyslexic students always want to understand things, because they just can not remember things that the rest of the us? “
I’m glad that Evans would understand. I think our desire to understand ourselves and the world we live in, is one of the things really positive person.
could have been better if John Evans is the book entitled “Think Think” or perhaps “Towards an understanding of the idea” because it is a bit “presumptuous to believe that he or any Another came to the “realization” of thinking. But there is some excellent work on many aspects of mind, not only men but also our culture, language and psychology.

This document is not a reference list. Do not use the appropriate style for a serious investigation. Divigaciones appears more as a writer. Even when access to the maps by the hypothesis of a Web page, the place can not exist.
