"Course Introduction"

Welcome to the course "Cognitivism: Flexible Thinking in an Era of Change" by BrainApps, which will immerse you in the fascinating world of the human brain and its capabilities. In today's world, where we are bombarded with a massive flow of information equivalent to reading a 350-page book every day, the ability to think flexibly becomes a key skill for adaptation and successful living. Just a few decades ago, our daily information intake was much more modest – only about 28,000 words per day.

This course will introduce you to the principles of flexible thinking – the ability to depart from outdated ideas, adapt in conflicting situations, rely on imagination alongside logic, and integrate a variety of approaches to solving new tasks. We will explore how different areas of the brain, including those related to consciousness and subconsciousness, participate in analytical and creative thinking processes. You will learn that it is in the realm of the subconscious, where complex and chaotic neuronal activity occurs, that elastic thoughts arise, capable of generating innovative ideas inaccessible to the purely analytical mind.

The course is filled with numerous scientific studies and practical exercises that will help you develop the skill of flexible thinking. We will examine real-world examples of how mental flexibility enables solving complex tasks, and offer you methods and exercises to train your brain. By the end of the course, you will not only master the theoretical foundations but also gain tools for practical application of flexible thinking in everyday life and professional activities.

Join us on this journey to explore the amazing capabilities of your brain, to learn to see possibilities where others see obstacles, and to find solutions where others give up. Cultivate your thinking to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
