Episode notes
Adult Plasticity Is Like A Marble In A Ditch
- Adult brains remain plastic but often get stuck in habitual 'ditches' formed by experience.
- Strong interventions or targeted training can move those habits to new patterns.
Train Perception With Exaggerated Contrasts
- Use exaggerated contrasts and progressive training to teach perceptual distinctions (e.g., accents).
- Gradually normalize the stimuli to transfer learning to real-world ranges.

- Watching, reading, or imagining events activates overlapping cortical representations.
- Movies and language often produce similar brain representations of events.
