Ask a fat question... get fat thinking!
March 2010
Fascinated by how humans learn, I write mostly about studies on such topics as thinking, creating, performance, or learning.
First, I have read that the human brain covers tremendous cognitive ground at rest following short, intensive processing. Think meditating, daydreaming, brainstorming.
Second, I have learned that one of the more effective forms of study involves reading and that the optimal mindset is valuing self-effort in cultivating knowledge.
Third, I have discovered whole brain activity... including emotions, motor, senses... will achieve deeper levels of learning.
Despite a penchant for edu-speak, I feel a little sanity is also necessary.
So, what is a fat question? Comprehension study generates two types of questions. The skinny question will offer one answer, while a fat question will have many possible answers.
The quality of my questions aside… this is an attempt to improve my capacity to ask more ample questions.
