from Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast · host Darius Namdaran and Dr Erica Warren
In this episode, we discuss learned helplessness and its impact on learning. We also address strategies that can help students move through learned helplessness and embrace learning. Learned helplessness happens when people or animals become conditioned to believe that a bad situation is unchangeable or inescapable. Learned helplessness occurs when an individual continuously faces a negative, uncontrollable situation and stops trying to change their circumstances, even when they have the ability to do so.We covered the following topics: What is learned helplessness Seligman's Theory and Depression Faking It - A Look into the Mind of a Creative Learner: The power of the word “yet” Technology dependency How we should choose our words Recognizing effort Having Brain BreaksLinks Learned Helplessness: Seligman's Theory and Depression:https://study.com/academy/lesson/how-seligmans-learned-helplessness-theory-applies-to-human-depression-and-stress.htm Bounce By Matthew Syed: https://amzn.to/3nZDrNP Mindful BrainBreaks:https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/multisensory-brain-break-meditations?_pos=15&_sid=606218cbf&_ss=r Learned helpless study: https://www.britannica.com/science/learned-helplessness Faking It - A Look into the Mind of a Creative Learner: https://amzn.to/3su0By4 Multisensory Multiplication: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/multisensory-multiplication Executive Functioning Assessment: https://mymemorymentor.com/efcs/ One to one sessions with Dr. Warren: https://learningtolearn.biz/ One to one sessions with Darius: www.ivvi.app BulletMap Academy: https://bulletmapacademy.com/ Learning Specialist Courses:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/ Executive functions and Study Skills Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies Good Sensory Learning: https://goodsensorylearning.com/ Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes: https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/ Cognitive Flexibility: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function Dyslexia Quiz: https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/ Inhibitory Control: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r Metacognition: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/teaching-metacognitive-skills?_pos=1&_sid=8c4ed9b58&_ss=r Visualization: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r Inner Voice: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r Working Memory: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by: https://ivvi.app https://goodsensorylearning.com https://learningspecialistcourses.com https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment https://dropintoyourbestself.com/ www.learningtolearn.biz
