I don't think we are talking about transfer. My mam had the concept of exercising zitsfleish, the ability to sit down and concentrate at a mentally taxing boring task for uncertain reward.
This is a skill I use to this day, especially when debugging, and when I have a hard day, I remind myself that if I was able to solve 100 linear equations over christmass when I was 10, I should be able to find this bug!
- growlist 7y ago> the ability to sit down and concentrate at a mentally taxing boring task for uncertain reward If anything I'd say school hindered me in this regard! I think I learnt dogged persistence through playing videogames.
- a-saleh 7y agoHow did it hinder? Peergroup? Teachers? I have to admit, that I did mention my mum on purpose, for first two years she literally sat by my side to help me concentrate. Videogames either reqiured too good reaction time for me, or were too entertaining to need dogged persistence on my part :)
