4.2 The 5 Neural Processing Speeds.


THE NEURAL PROCESSING SPEED

Our experiences teach us a lesson. We learn from experience. We can learn what to do and we can also learn what not to do this is called experience. Experience gives us knowledge and this is called Wisdom. We all learn but we learn at different rates. In order to grow and become prosperous we need to understand how fast we process information.

We learn from experiences of the past:

When you face challenges, you naturally tend to be apprehensive, and because of the speed of your brain, you tend to move back towards the past and feel the pain of negative experiences and thus feel heavy. You feel you are carrying the heavy baggage of the past. This is because you tend to hold on to the pain rather than letting it go. You must remember one thing, the pain has been experienced and the situation is over, but you tend to carry the memory of the pain in the past with you always. Instead of carrying the pain, you must realize that the pain is only teaching you a lesson. This pain is called experience and teaches you what to do or what not to do when you experience a similar situation again. Hence failures are just stepping stones to success. It teaches you invaluable lessons. We need to remember the lessons learned in the past as we now know what not to do. We also need to acquire wisdom from each situation instead of holding on to negative memories.

We predict based on these experiences of the past:

Similarly, due to insecurity, you tend to fear what will happen when thinking and planning for the future. You tend to think, what if? Immediately you tend to rush to the future and worry about what may happen. Remember whatever you think is only a probability and not a certainty. So why worry about things that may not happen?

We need to focus more on what to do in the present to be successful:

Instead, focusing on what you want and how to get it is more important. Take a step at a time. Slow and steady always wins. Success will happen when you focus on what you want rather than on what you don’t want. Control the speed of your brain. Channelize energy and you will surely accomplish all that you set out to achieve. 

Different people process at different speeds. Everyone is unique, and so there are differential rates of learning. To understand your Neural Processing Speed, it is important to understand and count the ridges or lines on your fingertips.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since your ridge count, is below 70, it indicates that you are a Repetition based learner.

1.    REPETITION-BASED LEARNER

Since the ridge count of 70, is generally considered low, you tend to be a little slow in learning new information and hence take more time and effort to process new information. Over a period of time and once you process the information, based on how you receive information (sensory input) then you are good to go. Then when you understand better and the information has been grasped, you then start applying your knowledge. It is then with clarity, that you tend to get to the action with sheer hard work.  Your ability to then use and apply that knowledge, allows you to be able to succeed in accomplishing whatever you want. But remember, this process takes time and makes you insecure because of the pressure you feel. Remember this happens only till you master what has to be achieved. The time you take to absorb and understand information for effective action and expression is longer.  But you are good to go once you have understood and consolidated the information learned and accumulated.

SOLUTION:

You need slower and more repetition-based learning. So,

•          You need more time to learn.

•          You need to put in more effort to learn.  

•          You need more practice.

•          You also need more monitoring.


LEARNING CAN BE SO EASY IF THE NEURAL SPEED IS UNDERSTOOD

Learning needs to be: Simple | Repeated | Understood | Practiced | Perfected | Made a Habit | Worked on with Confidence | Applied correctly | and Used Productively.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since your ridge count, is between 70 to 100, it indicates that you are a Sequence-based learner.

2.    SEQUENCE-BASED LEARNER      

Since your ridge count is between 70 and 100 is low, you tend to be a slow learner and hence take time and effort to process new information. Once you process the information based on how you receive information (sensory input) then you are good to go. Then when you understand better and the information has been grasped, you then start applying your knowledge. It is then with clarity that you get to action with sheer hard work.  Your ability to then apply and use that knowledge allows you to be able to succeed in accomplishing whatever you want. But remember, this process takes time and makes you insecure with the pressure you feel, till you master what has to be achieved. The time you take to absorb and understand information for effective action and expression is longer. Since you are slow in learning new information you have to create a meaningful sequence and connect the information with a story. Once these meaningful associations are done you will be quick on the uptake. You have to be handheld initially and this will lead you to the path of mastery.

SOLUTION:

You need step-by-step Sequence-based learning.  So,

•          You need more sequential learning.

•          You need monitoring while learning.

•          Your learning must be incremental.

•          You must move from simple to complex learning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since your ridge count, is between 100 to 130, it indicates that you are a Guidance-based learner.

3.    GUIDANCE-BASED LEARNER      

Since your e ridge count is between 100-130, is on the mid-level, so you are generally considered to be an average learner and hence take a little time and effort to process new information. Once you process the information based on how you receive information (sensory input) then you are good to go. Then when you understand better and the information has been grasped, you then start applying your knowledge. It is then with clarity that you get to action with sheer hard work.  Your ability to then apply and use that knowledge allows you to be able to succeed in accomplishing whatever you want. Hence you are fairly good at learning new information but need guidance and motivation from outside. With the right kind of pressure from the external world you are able to master any content given to you. Freedom leads to distraction and hence you need constant monitoring.

SOLUTION:

You need handholding and guidance-based learning. So,

•          You need to allow a flow in learning.

•          You need to be given direction.

•          You need a little guidance in learning.

•          You also need more discipline.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since your ridge count, is between 130 to 160, it indicates that you are a Challenge-based learner.

4.    CHALLENGE-BASED LEARNER

Since your ridge count is between 130-160, and which is fairly high, you are generally considered to be a quick learner and hence take less time and effort to process new information. You quickly process the information based on how you receive information (sensory input) and then set a target that you will achieve easily. If external pressure is put you will resist because you have the inherent ability to pick up information quickly on your own. The only issue is that the information and task should be given as per your choice. You are quick to grasp information and you are quick to start applying your knowledge. You tend to have clarity and get to the action quickly.  Your quick ability to apply and use your knowledge allows you to be able to succeed in accomplishing whatever you want. You are quick to act and fast in your expression. 

SOLUTION:

Needs a faster challenge-based learning

•          You need novelty in learning new things.

•          You always need a challenge.

•          you find it difficult to sustain interest for a longer duration.

•          You are target oriented and focussed on learning what interests you.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since your ridge count, is above 160+, it indicates that you are a Lightening based learner.

5.    LIGHTENING-BASED LEARNER

Since your ridge count is above 160+, it is very high, you are generally considered to be a very fast learner and hence take very less time and effort to process new information. Once you process the information based on how you receive information (sensory input) then you are triggered to action. Since you have the learning speed of a rocket you get triggered and take off and finish any task given to you. But the problem and challenges lie in what trigger you. If it is the information given to you, all is well and good. But if you are triggered by the irrelevant it also shows that you can be distracted easily. You are so quick that most of the time you find it difficult to be in the present but run into the future or race backward to the past.

SOLUTION:

Needs a super-fast and a lightening based learning

•          You are too fast in learning.

•          You find it difficult to sustain interest.

•          You can be positively triggered if interested.

•          you are quick to complete what you set out to accomplish.
