Malleability and Neuroplasticity of the Brain by Eduplanet21

Use it or lose it

2017-11-25 16:07:50 UTC

Just like any muscle in the body, if your brain is not used and continually stretched and pushed, it will not continue to work properly.

Use it or lose it

2017-11-26 03:32:49 UTC

It means that if you don't continue to practice or use the ability, you can lose that ability.

Finish this analogy:

2017-11-26 16:56:06 UTC

Muscle is to exercise as the brain is to neuroplasticity.

Use It or Lose It

2017-11-27 20:23:46 UTC

This means the less you continue to practice a habit, the less likely you will be able to achieve it easily.

Use it or Lose it

2017-11-28 00:48:10 UTC

If you do not continually use your brain in new and different ways, it will lose its neuroplasticity.

Muscle is to exercise as the brain is to learning.

Use it or Lose it

2017-11-28 16:58:18 UTC

If you don't use or practice a skill, you weaken the skill. The same is for exercise. If you don't use the muscles they become weakened. It works the same for the brain.

If you keep trying ,then you will succeed

2017-11-28 17:34:39 UTC

Use it or lose it.

2017-11-29 01:52:03 UTC

If you don't apply the information you learned, you will eventually forget it, or forget how to do something.

Analogy

Muscle is to exercise as the brain is to learning.

If you continue to challenge and exercise your brain, then you will increase it's neuroplasticity.

2017-11-30 20:56:40 UTC

If you continue to challenge and exercise your brain, then you will increase it's neuroplasticity.

2017-11-30 20:59:02 UTC

If you challenge a student and set high standards, then they will be given an opportunity to rise.

2017-12-02 22:23:12 UTC

If I had a dollar for every time I said this to my students, I'd be rich! I often encourage them to put forth the same effort and attitude towards their learning they would in their athletic, musical, and other extracurricular endeavors. It's not practice that makes perfect; it's perfect practice that makes perfect.

2017-12-04 02:09:40 UTC

Use it or Lose it

2017-12-07 21:26:19 UTC

If you don't use your brain, you will lose the ability to think. As time goes on, you will be unable to complete tasks you were able to do previously.

2017-12-07 21:26:44 UTC

If you dont keep practicing you eventually lose it. The more you practice, the easier things become.

If you don't study your math facts you will forget them.

2017-12-07 21:27:12 UTC

2017-12-07 21:27:33 UTC

If you want it bad enough, then you will do what you need to to get it.

If you don't continue to practice, you will not retain the skills you worked hard to attain.

2017-12-07 21:27:33 UTC

If you don't continue to review and refresh the skills you have learned you will not retain the information.

2017-12-07 21:28:02 UTC

Use it or lose it

2017-12-07 21:29:00 UTC

If you don't use your brain, it is like anything else-you will run correctly. You won't function the way you are meant to. You need to use your brain or you will simply rust.

2017-12-07 21:29:05 UTC

If you work really hard for something, then the results will mean more.

2017-12-10 21:13:26 UTC

If you don't use what you know eventually you will lose the ability that you once had.

If you don't continually use a skill you have, then you will lose that innate ability. So use it everyday to stay strong.

2017-12-10 21:13:45 UTC

The more you use your brain, the stronger it will become.

2017-12-11 02:19:10 UTC

2017-12-12 00:07:19 UTC

If you keep working and challenging yourself, then the more you learn.

If you practice a skill then with neuroplasticity you are able to do it more easily.

2017-12-12 02:05:00 UTC

2017-12-13 21:29:53 UTC

Use it or lose it! We have to treat the brain like anything that can grow and develop like a muscle!

I agree with use it or lose it. you exercise to keep your body in shape. You also have to exercise your mind.

2017-12-13 21:31:33 UTC

Use your mind, develop it, make it grow or lose your mind's ability to develop

2017-12-13 21:31:50 UTC

If you continue to learn new things, then your brain will change and become reshaped.

2017-12-13 21:32:01 UTC

Use it or lose it.

2017-12-13 21:32:09 UTC

A brain that is not constantly stimulated and pushed to do and think differently will become weak and undeveloped, never meeting its potential! I agree completely!

Keep using your brain so it continues to develop.

2017-12-13 21:34:29 UTC

If you want to become smarter then you need to continue to practice and exercise you brain.

2017-12-16 15:38:16 UTC

2017-12-20 02:40:02 UTC

2017-12-20 02:41:43 UTC

If you challenge your brain, then you will increase neuroplasticity!

If you exercise your brain, then you can learn new things, causing things that were once difficult to become easier.

2017-12-21 03:56:06 UTC

Use it or Lose it.

2017-12-21 14:41:05 UTC

Your brain is a muscle. Just like the rest of your body, you need to exercise it and keep it in good shape. If not, you will lose it.

If you keep thinking positive and that you can do tasks, then you will be able to!

2017-12-27 12:46:57 UTC

If you challenge your brain, then you will increase your neuroplasticity.

We only get one body so we must feed it with good food and exercise to keep it running healthy. Your brain is just like your body. You need to exercise and feed it properly so it can function properly.

2017-12-27 15:06:01 UTC

Keep your brain active. Using your brain will increase neurons and increase intelligence making it easier to do once difficult tasks. If you do not use your brain, just like your muscles it can become weaker instead of stronger.

2017-12-27 17:29:07 UTC

Use your brain and work it to make sure it is growing, changing, and becoming stronger.

Muscle is to exercise as the brain is to achievement.

If you don't like the response that is invoked by a certain action, then retrain the way you react to that certain action through neuroplasticity.

2017-12-29 02:03:20 UTC

If you challenge your brain and exercise it daily, then its neuroplasticity with increase.

Just like muscles, if your brain isn't constantly being used, pushed, or stretched, it won't continue to grow and develop.

If you want to learn a hard skill, then practice until you can do it, creating a new pathway to success.

If...then...

2018-01-02 01:40:13 UTC

If you change your thoughts, habits, exercise a new response or emotion, etc., then you can rewire your brain and build new connections.

If you continue to challenge your brain, then you will keep it sharp or strengthen it by building new connections.

2018-01-02 02:53:28 UTC

I think of using a brain like playing an instrument. At the end of my high school instrumental career I could play complicated pieces. Now since so much time has passed I am obviously unable to play complicated pieces and even struggle to play a basic piece of music.

using your brain is just like using other parts of your body. When we don't exercise our body becomes weakened. if we dont use our brain it also can become weakened. Learning new things and challenging ourselves with difficult cognitive tasks will keep our brain healthy.

2018-01-04 23:18:55 UTC

Your brain is just like any muscle in your body. If you stop using it/challenging it (exercising) you will not strengthen your brain and it will become weaker...just like your muscles.

2018-01-05 02:16:05 UTC

If you want to learn something, you are able to. Anyone is capable of rewiring their brain and learning anything.

When people say "use it or lose it" they mean just that. Use the skills you have or risk losing them (especially when your skills have taken time to learn, practice, and perfect). As a l foreign language teacher this is a big part of what I see in students and sometimes myself. They more we are able to use and practice the language, the harder it will be to forget.

What does it mean when people say, "Use it or lose it?

2018-06-09 16:39:23 UTC

Because of neuroplasticity, the way the brain can change and grow through the adaptation via responses to experience, the statement "use it or lose it is" correct. The brain is like a muscle, if it is not used and challenged, it will become stagnant and not grow.

Use it or lose it?

2018-06-11 13:12:30 UTC

If you continue to learn new things and make those connections by practicing, you can acquire new skills that will become easier over time. On the other hand, if you don't use those connections that you have, you can lose that skill.

If you continue to do something difficult, then the time it takes to do it will eventually become less and less as you get more proficient.

If you continue to learn new things and improve on the way you do things, then you will increase the neuroplasticity in your brain.

If you think the same thoughts you've always thought, then you'll always get the same results.

2018-07-23 14:03:37 UTC

If you focus on doing something different than what you have been doing and practice it then you will weaken or replace the nondesirable things you were doing.

2018-09-03 17:19:46 UTC

If we do not keep up a habit or consistently participate in an activity, the pathway in our brain where that information is stored slowly weakens and it becomes more difficult to complete the task.

If you do not continually use your brain and challenge yourself, you will lose what you have previously learned.

2018-09-08 22:34:43 UTC

Use it or lose it means that to maintain an ability or thought process, you need to continue to practice or experience that ability or thought process the same way. If you stop, you will lose that skill or thought process.

If at first you don't succeed, then you should try try again!

If you don't use new knowledge, then you will forget it.

for learning

2020-03-18 10:52:42 UTC

If you don’t exercise a certain part of your brain by doing a particular task your brain will lose the pathway that you built to do this task. Example you played the piano for ten years and you were a confident pianist, you stopped practicing for a year and when you started up again you had lost some of your ability

"Use it or lose it" means if you don't practice or maintain it then you could lose the ability or it could become harder to use.

Anything that you have whether it be muscle or brain if it doesn't get used you will lose the use of it.

2020-03-30 17:42:17 UTC

If you don't reinforce the neural pathways, they will become smaller from lack of use. Eventually you may forget how to get to that path. Practice reinforces the pathways.

2020-03-31 16:48:49 UTC

2020-03-31 16:52:23 UTC

You must use a connection in the brain or pathway or else you will lose it. That's why things learned in school often are forgotten in adult life, because we don't all use everything we once learned in our adult jobs.

This fact is so true and as an older education I know first hand that the more you practice and work on a skill the more it will stay in memory and the less stress you will feel when ask for a particular was. Remembering this is so helpful when teaching the special education student as well. Review what you are learning, find different ways to hear the lesson and continue until you have success. Then find ways to use in your everyday life.

2020-04-09 17:04:21 UTC

If you don't use your skill pathways, you lose the ability to quickly and efficiently recall that skill

Use it or lose it

2020-04-09 23:12:12 UTC

You have to exercise your brain in order for it to grow and strengthen. If you don't you will lose memory and skills.

Use it or lose it

2020-04-09 23:12:42 UTC

This refers to if you have something /ability/talent if you do not use it/exercise it/ move it, you will lose it -

Personal qualities and abilities can be changed - we can rewire our brains.

2020-04-14 05:06:30 UTC

Muscle is to exercise as the brain is to learning.

2020-04-14 05:07:42 UTC

If you fail, then take it as an opportunity to learn new strategies for success!

Use it/lose it

2020-04-14 15:30:30 UTC

you must work your brain in order to maintain or increase its function.

the more you exercise a certain muscle the stronger it becomes/ the more you use the brain the stronger it becomes.

If ?

2020-04-14 15:33:23 UTC

If you use it then it will stay in shape or grow stronger.

Use it/lose it

2020-04-14 18:48:34 UTC

The more you use your brain and focus on one part. Like learning to ride a bike you must continue to try at that task until you get it. Then you will increase that function. You will always know how to ride a bike.

2020-04-16 20:42:56 UTC

If you continue to challenge your brain then you will change your pathway.

Use or Lose

2020-04-21 23:11:30 UTC

This is so true, especially with math for me. I have to re teach myself to help my child with her homework.

Use or lose

2020-04-22 16:55:28 UTC

Practicing something in the right way to change a learned habit will help you to grow instead of deplete.

If_______, then.

2020-04-22 22:58:14 UTC

If you continue to challenge your brain, your brain can be flexible to learning new things.

Muscle is to exercise as brain is to problem-solving.

Use it or Lose it..

2020-04-27 13:09:43 UTC

If the brain is a muscle, it can be trained and grow. If you don't use all of it, those parts grow weaker. Muscle memory is similar to those paths/responses frequently taken.

Use it or lose it...

2020-04-27 22:18:48 UTC

Your brain is a muscle that can be 'trained and exercised, just like a muscle'. We need to train and grow our brain to continue to lean and grow

Muscle is to exercise as brain is to

2020-04-27 22:21:55 UTC

gaining access and stimulating pathways to continue to grow the brain.

It means that we need to keep the brain active to strengthen its ability to function and to learn.

2020-04-28 23:01:01 UTC

Like muscles, if your brain is not being exercised, being frequently stretched, used and pushed, it won't continue to grow and develop.

2020-05-01 02:24:47 UTC

Muscle is to exercise

2020-05-01 19:39:18 UTC

as the brain is to inquiry.

Use it or Lose it:

kmalik10 — 2020-05-06 23:55:02 UTC

The brain's pathways are strengthened the more you use it. When you learn something new, and keep practicing that, the old pathway will not be used anymore.

Use it or lose it

2020-05-07 00:05:51 UTC

The brain becomes bigger and stronger the more it is used and challenged. If it is not challenged, it will not grow.

2020-05-12 00:44:16 UTC

If you use your brain you will continue to grow, if you dont use it you will lose memory and not grow

This reminds me of the saying "the more you read the more you grow, the more you grow the more you know...or something like that.

2020-05-12 13:49:17 UTC

Use it or Lose it

2020-05-13 18:26:00 UTC

Means if you don't use the skill after you learn it you may forget it.

Mrs. Brown

2020-05-14 18:07:43 UTC

If you use your brain then you will get smarter.

Muscle is to exercise and the brain is to learning.

2020-05-18 22:02:02 UTC

2020-05-22 18:24:20 UTC

If you continue to try then you will get better.

It means that if you don't exercise your brain like you do with the rest of your body, it will never fully maximize its' potential.

2020-05-26 12:43:04 UTC

You need to keep doing something to continue to grow and strengthen a skill.

2020-05-26 14:28:08 UTC

If you continue to use your learned skills in different situations then you will be able to expand your knowledge and gain more knowledge.

2020-05-26 15:13:10 UTC

Use it or Lose it means that no matter what our age, we need to continue to use our skills (keep doing them) or else we lose (forget how to do) them.

2020-05-26 15:22:09 UTC

Use it or Lose it

2020-05-26 16:18:27 UTC

When they say this, they mean that no matter how old you are, your family history, or your genetic makeup, if you do not continually use a skill, you could lose it. Take for an example, teaching. Teaching itself is a skill that we practice everyday and are constantly using and perfecting. If we were to stop teaching (say retirement or a break) then getting back into the swing of things may be difficult.

Analogy

2020-05-26 16:22:41 UTC

Muscle is to exercise as the brain is to challenges.

Always Try

2020-05-26 16:23:59 UTC

If you never try, then you will never know what you are capable of.

My brain will continue to grow because I an constantly being challenged with new technology. It should be huge by now.

2020-05-26 16:28:23 UTC

IF you do not use your brain by challenging yourself and attempting different solutions who will never be able to achieve. You will lose sight of your goal.

2020-05-26 16:36:18 UTC

Use it or Lose it

2020-05-26 16:45:32 UTC

If you do not continue to exercise your brain to a certain goal, you will lose sight of that goal.

Use it or lose it- It means that if you don't exercise your brain and continue to put it to use then you will lose everything that you have gained. This is similar to your muscles and your body when working out.

2020-05-26 17:09:06 UTC

If you never challenge a student, they will rarely maximize their potential.

as the brain is to learning new skills and knowledge.

2020-05-26 18:09:46 UTC

Challenge

2020-05-26 18:47:47 UTC

If you challenge your brain it will become stronger and will result in learning

2020-05-26 18:51:07 UTC

This is a process also known as blossoming and pruning. Your brain destroys (prunes) paths that are not used and then creates new and stronger paths (blossoms) in areas where you do use those processes.

If you do not practice/use a specific skill/content/knowledge and challenge yourself with this skill, you will lose the progress and ability you have in this area. Like muscles, the brain must be exercised.

2020-05-26 18:59:53 UTC

2020-05-26 19:09:18 UTC

If you do not use it, it will become weak and you will lose the ability to use it properly.

I can do this! You can do this!

2020-05-26 19:13:57 UTC

This should be our mantras as teachers!

2020-05-26 19:16:04 UTC

If at first you don't succeed, then try again!

2020-05-26 19:28:16 UTC

If you don't keep practicing or using knowledge/skills on a regular basis, you will lose that ability/knowledge.

If you don't keep practicing or using the skills learned on a regular basis, you will lose that skill.

2020-05-26 19:51:28 UTC

The brain is just another muscle, the less it is used the more it can atrophy.

2020-05-26 20:01:55 UTC

Work your brain! Accept challenges and embrace the neuron connections!

2020-05-26 20:25:07 UTC

Muscle is to exercise as the brain is to learning!

2020-05-26 20:45:18 UTC

Continue to use it so you don't lose it.

2020-05-26 21:52:05 UTC

You need to challenge yourself in order to keep learning. If you don't challenge yourself you will not learn.

2020-05-26 22:34:09 UTC

As we age, our brain's neural connections begin to degenerate due to complacency, and if we do not challenge ourselves, those neural connections may be lost.

2020-05-26 22:56:22 UTC

Muscle is to exercise as brain is to gaining new knowledge.

2020-05-27 00:10:29 UTC

The brain needs to be exercised or challenged like muscles need to be as well or they atrophy.

2020-05-27 00:43:19 UTC

2020-05-27 01:01:02 UTC

If you set a good example of being a life long learner, it will be helpful to your students to do so as well.

2020-05-27 01:20:10 UTC

It essentially means that you need to keep exercising your mind in order to maintain and improve it, if you do not, you will lose it.

Use you Brain

2020-05-27 02:24:39 UTC

It means to become and promote lifelong learning!

If you do not use what you have, your skill will deteriorate.

2020-05-27 02:29:39 UTC

If you really want something, then you need to work to get there.

2020-05-27 02:30:00 UTC

You need to keep utilizing a skill that you have learned in order to keep getting better at it.

2020-05-27 03:03:24 UTC

The more you do something, the more it will become second nature. If you don't use do it, then you forget or can't do it.

2020-05-27 12:18:49 UTC

If you don't practice and keep at something you'll never get better.

2020-05-27 12:55:24 UTC

If you are determined, then anything is possible.

2020-05-27 12:58:54 UTC

If you don't use it, you will lose it!

2020-05-27 13:05:52 UTC

Use it or lose it.

2020-05-27 13:20:09 UTC

If you don't challenge yourself with new and difficult things, you will not learn new things and your brain will not grow stronger.

If

2020-05-27 13:46:30 UTC

If your brain is used then it's capacity will increase.

2020-05-27 13:46:39 UTC

2020-05-27 13:50:39 UTC

Keep working on something so you do not lose your ability to do the skill.

2020-05-27 13:53:26 UTC

Use Your Brain

2020-05-27 13:57:47 UTC

When you don’t use your brain adequately, it does not continue to develop and flourish. It is imperative to challenge yourself mentally and strengthen your neurological connections.

Stay Sharp

2020-05-27 14:08:36 UTC

You need to keep your brain active in order to maintain and improve its functions.

Muscles and the Brain

2020-05-27 14:38:40 UTC

Use it or lose it...if you do not exercise the muscle, atrophy will take place and it will not work, just like the brain!

If you challenge your brain, then its neural connections will increase

2020-05-27 14:46:00 UTC

If you think you can do it and don't give up, then your brain will respond in kind.

2020-05-27 14:50:19 UTC

If you continue to learn new things then your will brain will get stronger.

2020-05-27 14:53:09 UTC

You need to continue practicing a skill you are learning or you will lose the progress you have made in mastering that skill.

2020-05-27 15:22:15 UTC

Use it or Lose it

2020-05-27 15:36:39 UTC

By using your brain in many new and different ways will help it maintain its neuroplasticity.

Use it or Lose

2020-05-27 15:48:39 UTC

You must continue to experience new concepts to build new connections in your brain.

Use it or Lose it

2020-05-27 15:58:56 UTC

If we do not challenge our brain, make it work, then it will only get weaker. We need to exercise the brain for it to get "stronger" and, allow us to learn.

Muscle is to exercise as brain is to new experiences.

2020-05-27 17:23:10 UTC

You need to make sure you are constantly using and challenging your brain and it's abilities.

2020-05-27 17:38:17 UTC

If you do not use your brain the way it is able to be used, it's ability to gain new skills or adapt to new experiences can weaken.

2020-05-27 18:02:41 UTC

If you use it then you won't lose it.

Just as we get stronger when we exercise or move, our brains get stronger the more we keep it active.

2020-05-27 19:38:56 UTC

If you don't continue learning new things your brains starts to lose some of its ability to learn.

2020-05-27 19:42:21 UTC

It means that if you stop using a certain skill, you will soon forget it and not be as efficient as you were before.

2020-05-27 20:48:58 UTC

Use it or lose it means if you stop challenging yourself to learn new things and aspire to be better you will eventually lose the knowledge that you have.

2020-05-28 01:53:32 UTC

Students need to practice new skills and use their brain or they will lose the knowledge of completing the skill.

2020-05-28 13:31:35 UTC

Use or Lose

2020-05-28 13:37:28 UTC

If you do not use their skills you learned or knowledge you gained, your brain will be unable to perform those tasks or perform that skill. It has to do with the creation and strengthening of neurons.

If you challenge your brain and "exercise" it by learning new things, then you will create new and stronger pathways.

2020-05-28 13:58:39 UTC

Response

2020-05-28 14:11:58 UTC

Just as you lose muscle toning when you take a break from exercise, you lose brain "strength" when you don't use it.

Muscle is to exercise as the brain is to expanding knowledge.

2020-05-28 18:51:03 UTC

use it or lose it

2020-05-28 19:00:16 UTC

Neuron pathways slowly decay if not used.

If you fail then that doesn't mean you're a failure.

2020-06-05 14:35:14 UTC

2020-06-05 14:59:01 UTC

If the brain is not challenged with learning ,then new pathways will not be developed and those areas will atrophy. The brain matter and potential is then lost.

IF you exercise your brain, it will get stronger.

Adapt

2020-06-05 16:07:49 UTC

Your brain needs to stay active in order to adapt and learn. If you do not find way to keep your brain active it will not be able to adapt to new things quite as well.
