Доброго времени суток.

We humans are acting in an uncontrollable environment. Through constant interaction with our environment, we are learning more and more, mostly without even noticing it.

To do this, we firstly have to be able to perceive our environment. Step by step, we are getting to know the meaning of this perception. We get to know our mother’s voice when we are still in her womb, for example, yet the significance of this person only becomes clear step by step.

We therefore initially classify an object. We effortlessly test out our envi- ronment. By dropping toys, we get to know gravity. We learn that the hot food cools down all by itself if we wait long enough. This means that as early as at the age of two we have a good intuition of physical correlations in our world and how they ineract with us. We also classify increasingly more objects and assing different properties to them. This is how our common sense is developed and we are able in a certain way to predict situations such as “if I drop the glass, it will break”. This ability accounts for a large part of our intelligence.

With further development, we can abstract this classification of objects. The abstraction makes it possible to compare different objects or even situations that objectively have nothing in common. By doing this, we can transfer strategies that we have successfully learned in a situation to a different situation. Our ability to transfer is a further key pillar of our intelligence.

How much sense it makes, however, to ***derive with our brain more about the way our brain processes*** from research data and precisely how this research data can be depicted at all, is another, very interesting topic of discussion.

Спасибо.
