Helping You Work Smarter and Live More

We tend to think of learning as a formal or distinct process, like pursuing a master’s degree, taking a course, reading a book, or listening to a podcast. But learning also happens every day, with every experience, interaction, conversation, execution of a small or big project, and everything in between. 

Everything we encounter becomes a kind of input to our minds, but what does the brain do with these inputs? How does it choose what to remember, what to forget, and what to transform into a lifelong memory or core skill?

This new study proposes a theoretical model to capture this kind of experiential learning. The researchers think how we decide what we commit to short-term memory versus what we learn and apply in future situations is quite similar to how neural networks are trained and function. Think of the underlying technology of ChatGPT, Bard, Jasper, and DALL-E other generative AI. 

Can we possibly ‘learn better’ from our experiences if we trained like these neural networks? Let’s examine some of the ideas presented in the study.
