Great writeup and it got me thinking how people don't encourage good behavior or discourage bad behavior in real life enough.

Like if we want to see more of a certain behavior, we should reward it when we see it and the opposite is true as well.

I think the biggest consequence of teaching good behaviors is fatigue. I am certainly building up my stamina with children, but they're MY kids. I don't know that people can keep up the effort unless they have a personal stake. Although, the reward should be the observation or accomplishment of that good behavior.

Yes, I know what you mean with kids... it can get really, really tiring. With adults, people tend to be less patient and switch to 'punishment' faster if they continue to exhibit bad behavior.

Very true. People often want to be liked, but we don't give them the opportunity to adjust.
They can't adjust to you, if you don't tell them what you like or dislike.

I actually read the whole thing! On seeing the tittle teaching a man without memory, I was already forming some ideas so I read on to see if you'd prove me right, and you did!

Habits and routines are the way to go. I just don't really know how to teach someone to have a habit, bit I just knew it would have to be habits and routines.

Even for people with their complete memory, habits and routines are really good for learning. I myself have come to find how easily I learn song lyrics and remember some stuff I know from songs I learnt when I was only about 4-5 years old. It's all the routine stuff. A breakthrough research really has to be conducted in order to take advantage of this, or maybe it has been conducted and I don't know. I gotta go run searches 👍

Great. That you liked it. :)
Yeah it's pretty much just repetition of the same structure. Same trigger, same habit, same reward everytime. We're basically like pavlow's dog.

Oh, yeah, I know something about Pavlovian response.

You gave a very interesting mix of paradoxes (in general). People need to understand better what they are about.

Great writing, @antonym.

Thank you very much, good sir.

It's interesting how some people can wake up after a comma and find everything back to normal and for others it takes a long time to remember. This whole day has been one of the cloudy days for me. It's interesting how things get into proof of brain sometimes come out of our cloudy brains. It's still proof that we have a brain.

Great post. I am trying to get in the habit of posting more often after taking some time off Hive. Oh also this might be a weird segway but I read your winning post from last week's challenge where you were recommending Gary Vee and was wondering if you had looked into his Vee friends project at all?

Thanks! I have no idea what you're talking about, though. I have to admit, I haven't read Gary Vee in a long time. He's seems more of a short term motivation guy to me and I don't really have his entrepreneurial spirit.

Superb content. I'm the first to admit that my attention span is seriously lacking and I often lose interest in posts that are long and lack substance, but this write-up kept me engaged throughout. It's given me a lot of ideas for adjusting the merit system on the informative side.

Interesting story about Eugene. I can relate in some way because I have grandparents who suffer from memory-based illnesses. The idea of somebody floating around on their own in this world with no idea where they really are is terrifying.

Thanks. Looking forward to your ideas. :)

Yeah. It is pretty scary. It gives me some comfort, that you can have a decent life, as long as you have built healthy habits beforehand.

This is my second time reading your article. It's a great story. Whatever happened to Squire and Eugene? His wife?


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Great question. I have no idea. :) I read the story in "Power of habits". That was published 2012. A lot could have happened since then.

Eugene Pauly died in 2008. Larry Squire became a member of their family as both he and other researchers frequented their home well over 100 times to perform cognitive skills testing on Eugene. Eugene was always polite and was entranced by the computers or other electronic devices that doctors used to perform tests on him. In life, he was a loving husband, father, and great human being. After succumbing to the viral encephalitis that consumed his memory, he became legendary.
