16 habits of mind by Devika Menon https://padlet.com/DevzikaMenon/ukmdlvdwkqun1mff Post your research here! en-us 2023-09-06 05:01:14 UTC 2023-09-06 05:19:49 UTC hello@padlet.com Vishnu, Yuvraj, rohit https://padlet.com/DevzikaMenon/ukmdlvdwkqun1mff/wish/2686100652 Understanding humor requires thinking flexibly — finding novel relationships, observing oddities in images, and making analogies. People who engage in humor can see situations from a new vantage point or come up with the unexpected.

For example: one student asks another, “is it time for us to eat yet?” The response, “no.” The student waits only a few seconds to ask, “how about now?” The immediacy of the response and the shift from accepting the answer come as a surprise. They both laugh. They are managing their impulsivity as they wait for meal time.

Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying, “A good laugh is good for both the mental and physical digestion.”

Intelligent people know that all information goes into the brain through sensory pathways: gustatory, olfactory, tactile, kinesthetic, auditory and visual. Most linguistic, cultural, and physical learning is derived from the environment by observing or taking it in through the senses. To know a dance it must be moved, to know a role it must be acted, to know a goal it must be envisioned. Those whose sensory pathways are open, alert, and acute will absorb more information from the environment than those who do not realize how to use their senses fully. We are learning more and more about the impact of art and music on improved mental functioning. Forming mental images is essential in mathematics and engineering. Other fields use a variety of senses to improve their work. Some students do not fully become aware of how to use their senses to gather data. These students benefit from learning about gathering data from all senses and in turn experience and enjoy life in a new way.

Applying past knowledge requires the retention of concepts we have learned throughout our lives and correlation to situations in personal and professional settings.
Eg 1. As UAE expats, we have all learned Arabic in our schools. In the future, if we have to communicate with coworkers in Arabic, we can use this knowledge.
