Therefore,  “running shoes'  can improve the performance in the sports category which exemplifies my personal experience and the “Nike running app” which records my running data can furthermore elaborate in detail of my previous experiences, leading to the concept of explicit knowledge; emphasizes theory and the acquisition of information and ideas, while the experience gained emphasizes the application of knowledge to deepen the understanding of the subject or any specific task.]]> 2020-12-22 13:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/zhengs223/scu5895nd2hy8ydx/wish/1037941081 Running shoes zhengs223 https://padlet.com/zhengs223/scu5895nd2hy8ydx/wish/1037947041          Investing in high-quality running shoes can potentially prevent foot and ankle injuries, and make the workout more enjoyable and comfortable. Personally, it is crucial and beneficial to any of the running experiences, which as a result the equipment is just like pairing a mouse with the laptop, it increases the efficiency and performance at the current time. Therefore, “You gain knowledge when you do something or something happens to you. Experiences add to your reservoir of knowledge. Mistakes can also result in learning, since correction reinforces the learning process.”(Ron Kurtus) In this case, the new knowledge is defined as a faster time on running, and by wearing those shoes every time is a quick of acquiring knowledge because the values of experiences are added at the same time, proving that the practices of self-discipline are certainly connected to the understanding and application of the gaining knowledge.]]> 2020-12-22 13:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/zhengs223/scu5895nd2hy8ydx/wish/1037947041 Nike running app zhengs223 https://padlet.com/zhengs223/scu5895nd2hy8ydx/wish/1037947414        Furthermore, “Most of our knowledge is not in our consciousness most of the time, but when we are thinking about, talking about or writing something related to our knowledge, some knowledge may appear.  If the words, knowledge, and information we want are familiar to us, our brain seems to be able to enter the deepest part of our memory, so as to come up with the words, knowledge, and information we need almost seamlessly.” (EUREKALERT).  The concept of memory leads to my second object, which is the database of my personal experiences—“Nike Running App''. By elaborating on the data recovered over the past, creates a sort of progression that depicts the success and other possible outcomes through long-term practices, in which eventually is absorbed by the memory system the acquisition of information and ideas, thus creating personal explicit knowledge, assisting the knower in remembering past positive events.
          On the contrary, “like broccoli and ice cream on a toddler board, the brain retains good information in a separate place. In the amygdala, the important memory center of the brain, pleasant experiences, taste and smell are limited to the back of the basolateral nucleus (BLA), while unpleasant memories are located on the front. These anterior and posterior regions also interact in a push-pull manner to regulate behaviors related to negative and positive stimuli, respectively.” (EUREKALERT) This given information shows the impact of any negative memories can affect individuals' emotions because it demotivates the confidence gained from positive experiences, instead, this can lead to a traumatic experience. For example, a severe injury can be considered a nightmare for any athlete because it ruins the effort that they had been putting in, and it's unlikely to have prime back after the recovery. Therefore, having negative experiences may worsen the situation and having it recorded on the Nike Running App can highly influence a person's success and emotions. ]]> 2020-12-22 13:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/zhengs223/scu5895nd2hy8ydx/wish/1037947414 MLA citations zhengs223 https://padlet.com/zhengs223/scu5895nd2hy8ydx/wish/1037949186
