Transcript


00:02	give Let me start . All right ? Yeah .
00:08	Everybody learns everything in the same way . Whether you're
00:11	a little kid , an adult or you have special
00:14	needs , our brains process new information in exactly the
00:20	same way . There's different styles , but learning has
00:24	a very simple universal procedure . You find out exactly
00:30	what you're supposed to do , you practice it over
00:34	and over . Yeah , man , every task is
00:44	actually a combination of individual steps chained together . This
00:49	judo throw , seemingly a difficult physical feat , is
00:52	actually a series of simple steps . This skateboard trick
00:57	also seemingly difficult , is a series of steps chain
01:01	together . Mhm . This high school geometry problem is
01:05	also a series of steps . And there they are
01:11	. Even social interactions are actually a combination of individual
01:16	social behaviors chained together . My opponent reaches for a
01:20	call inside trappers on that . I'm gonna make him
01:23	keep it there . Crouch down when I step my
01:28	foot across . Okay , I'm gonna bring my hips
01:30	all the way through , top your board at the
01:33	right spot and then land on the right spot .
01:37	Gonna pop them all the way through right away .
01:41	Step over squad . Everything is nice together with the
01:45	hips from the top , right ? Yeah . The
01:56	boy here has non verbal autism , and he's currently
02:00	learning how to wash his hands For him , following
02:03	steps is vital because he struggles to understand abstract concepts
02:08	. So if even one step is missing , he
02:12	will not learn the water off dry . Okay .
02:21	Uh huh . Mm . Uh huh . Mhm .
02:29	Mhm . Hanging up . Mm . Mhm . Um
02:45	, basically , like , imagine that I was a
02:47	space alien or something like that . How do you
02:53	Could you explain to me how you would tie your
02:55	shoes ? So how do you tie your shoes ?
03:01	I couldn't even tell you how I do it .
03:03	So that's the hard part . So we take a
03:06	cord and we put it through the holes , and
03:09	we string it back and forth so that we can
03:13	. Then , um So it's like you might ,
03:16	you know , like , how grass is long and
03:18	you could tie grass in a Not so you need
03:21	something like that . Something like grass . I don't
03:23	think he knows grasses . Can I take over ?
03:26	Can Yeah , yeah , yeah . Take the two
03:40	ends , wrap them like this and pull them until
03:44	they're tight . Right ? And then I would do
03:46	a loop on this one and loop it around and
03:50	catch it from the back and then pull them until
03:53	they're snug . 20 years ? Yeah . There we
03:54	go . Yeah . And then for the younger ones
03:57	, I'd even do a double , so it doesn't
03:59	come loose job . Mm . Once we see a
04:11	task as a series of steps , we can also
04:14	see that the task itself is a step which is
04:17	chained to other tasks we've already learned . So if
04:21	you can't dunk a basketball , it maybe because you
04:24	never learned how to jump . If you can't score
04:28	the goal of the century , it maybe because you
04:31	never learned how to control the ball . And if
04:34	you can't play two guitars at the same time ,
04:37	it may be because you never learned to play one
04:41	. Mm hmm . This newborn baby has never made
04:50	any mistakes . She's never gotten a bad grade on
04:53	a test , never wore the wrong close to a
04:56	party . But when she grows up , she will
05:00	make mistakes just like everybody else . This 10 month
05:06	old is currently learning how to walk , and she's
05:09	making lots of mistakes . But what we call mistakes
05:13	are actually her dealing with the steps that go into
05:16	the task of walking . So each time she falls
05:20	, she learns the balance and muscle memory's that she
05:22	doesn't fall the next time . Yeah , I like
05:27	that by heavy slip part . But , man ,
05:31	she can't turn it . We make mistakes until we
05:34	have mastered the task . Mastery means being able to
05:37	do something every time without mistakes or help . But
05:42	the only way to reach that point is to make
05:44	mistakes and then figure out which step we're messing up
05:48	and why . Performance is where mastery is truly measured
05:54	, and it comes in many forms we perform when
05:58	we're on a stage . We perform when we take
06:03	a test , and we perform through the successful completion
06:11	of everyday tasks . This piano player learned how to
06:30	play piano by playing the piano . This barista learned
06:35	how to make coffee by making coffee . This seamstress
06:39	learned how to sew by sewing , and this flamboyant
06:44	roller skater learned how to flamboyantly roller skate by roller
06:49	skating . Flamboyantly , this boy is learning that wind
06:54	chimes make a ringing noise when touched . But to
06:57	learn anything more complex , he'll probably need a lesson
07:01	like this . So what the kids are doing is
07:03	They're taking a piece of pipe , and they're going
07:06	to cut into different links . And as they're cutting
07:08	into different links , there's a former they use their
07:10	gonna prove mathematically . Um , what the frequencies are
07:14	what the sound is going to be , what the
07:15	tune is going to be , what the note is
07:17	going to be , what the octaves are going to
07:18	be . That was good . Yeah , yeah .
07:25	Mhm . Mhm . Beethoven for babies is a product
07:33	that claims to be brain training for little ones .
07:36	But what does it actually do to train a baby's
07:39	brain ? Let's check it out . Yeah . No
07:57	. Yeah . No , you can't . Okay ,
08:07	now , ask yourself this question . When Beethoven was
08:11	a baby , what did he listen to ? Mhm
08:37	. Mhm . Mhm . Yeah . Yeah . So
08:45	how did you learn to tie your shoes ? Did
08:47	you take some magic shooting pill ? Did you listen
08:51	to a bunch of meditative music ? And suddenly the
08:55	idea popped into your head ? Look , if there's
08:58	one thing I hope you take away from this video
09:01	, it's this learning is simple . Even when it's
09:04	hard . If you find out exactly what you're supposed
09:07	to do and then embrace the mistakes that come with
09:10	practice . You can learn anything . Whether you have
09:13	a PhD , autism down syndrome , whatever I call
09:19	my system common sense special ed . Why ? Because
09:24	that's the number one tool I use common sense .
09:28	I look at what works . Cut out the crap
09:30	that doesn't . And then on and on , we
09:33	go to the magical land of solve problems . All
09:37	right , buddy , go . Yeah , yeah ,
09:42	yeah , yeah , yeah Mhm , yeah , Still
