From Clarissa’s article, I learned that the definition of learning in neurology is about the process of brain change and its ready extraction and application afterwards. This reminds me of another course I took this semester on music, which I underestimated because it was an online class. For someone who has not been exposed to music since childhood, the process of learning music theory is very challenging. It was a field that I had never set foot in before, and the basic knowledge in it could be difficult for me, and I even felt dizzy when I looked at the pentatonic score while writing the exercises. Later, I consolidated my knowledge by combining listening in class and reviewing and note-taking after class. Patience is also an important factor in completing homework. During this period of study, I felt that my brain had changed a bit, and even when I was learning a new unit of study, I used the previous information to apply it to the new environment. I had a relatively good experience taking a basic French course in COLLEGE, I have always been interested in the language and even after two or three years, I can still know how to introduce myself to people in French. Some time ago, I met a girl from France on the internet and I tried to get knowledge about French from my brain. Because when we learned French before, we needed to constantly rehearse with our teachers and classmates, which kept this knowledge from getting fuzzy even after time. It gave me the opportunity to show what I had learned about French as well. I think I am more of a behaviorist, and I believe that only after practice can I deepen my impression of knowledge. Just like I will use cell phone software to learn to play piano after I finish learning music theory.
