Hi!

I have just started using PhotoReading. Can anyone tell me what it is like when something read gets activated? Is it like seeing the pages in your head or what? Is it obvious when you succeed in PhotoReading?

Best regards,

Activation is a consious effort, you will know. Instant activation can be any way

niklas:

Think about something you know...maybe, let's say...brushing your teeth. Now, how is brushing your teeth the same or similar to preparing to sit down and study? Think about it....no, I mean truly think...how is it similar?

Now, how did you know how to correlate the two processes together? Did you think about it more generally to figure out the similar concepts? Did you derive a metaphor for it? Or draw an analogy?

Your creative insights are the ways both consciously and unconsciously you activate material. You draw out unconscious insights about the material that you read.

That's activation...

For those with formal logic background, activation is about inductive and abductive logic.

See ya niklas!

Commonsense, me again. I know about inductive and deductive logic. But not abductive. Would you please explain? Thanks.

Hey Hel:

Inductive processes perceive patterns in and from those patterns build generalizations about the world around us. Chunking up to find deeper concepts, ideas, universals experiences,etc..

Deductive processes describe and act on our perceptions of the world. We chunk down to specifics rendering concepts, ideas, etc. into specific words.

Abductive processes transform one concept into another similar concept by finding their similarities. We chunk side ways to compare two similar experiences.

For example:

(Inductive reasoning - chunking up)
A rose is a plant or plant life.

(Deductive reasoning - chunking down)
A rose has colored petals.

(Abductive reasoning - chunking laterally)
The red rose petals are like the color of a women's lips.

Hope this simple example helps Hel.

Good luck, and...
CommonSense
