Bravo!
To some extent, yes.. When I'm in a lecture hall in college & the professor is talking about theoretical physics, I feel pretty stupid & I'm confused & don't really understand what's going on. So, yes, I guess I do.
Really illuminating paper here! I appreciate you sharing this. Here's what I think - innate ability is overvalued, everyone! If you hone your skills over time you will seem smarter than you are & you lose some of your shyness & inhibitions w.r.t. asserting yourself & expressing your opinion. My top grades were a 2200 on my SAT's, 31 on my ACT's, & I was an honors student in college. That being said, I don't think that correlates with intelligence. That just correlates with testing well. Isaac Newton made major contributions to his STEM career in science, and he DID have a lot of innate ability but he also worked at it,... (read more)
great post, Acadamian! Thanks for sharing.
great article, PhilGoetz! There is a similar, but much simpler situation that occurs when I try to play chords on a guitar to sing a song over a simple groove on a classical guitar in order to impress my girlfriend. It's easy for me to learn the first few chords but difficult to learn complicated songs with many layers to them.
I agree with your post for the most part, with a few caveats. There are far more conflicts for gamers or athletes than this theory accounts for. Conflicts (& their resolutions) are the most important part of behaviorism. Every match online, say, on Battle.net playing Starcraft 2, is a fight, also known as a conflict. Therefore if a person plays several game matches a night, he is engaged in several complex conflict events that require later thought while laying in bed in order to coherently analyze & find points of behavioral improvement. Therefore I find that your theory is insufficiently general to be useful on a large scale.
Speaking from a similar point of view here, I MUST say that this is an incredibly well-documented essay. Well done!
