Man… This field is legit guys. To tell you the truth, it’s a gamechanger.
If you’re anything like me and are trying to play catch up in life with your newly found intelligence (all of you will begin feeling like this after a certain amount of gains lol) then you’ll know how much a book or a podcast can help catch you up.
With this field I’m able to hear a podcast, deconstruct the meanings and manipulate them in my mind to better formulate holistic thought patterns regarding the context presented. I’m able to grasp new words and use them in different ways, in which I find myself researching the words to check if I’m using them correctly, in which I usually am. I’m also able to express myself with less mumbo jumbo spewing out and pausing while I wait for a word. This happens infrequently now, rather than previously, consistently.
I’m in the developing stage so it may not seem as such if you pay attention to my comments, but best believe, once I use this field to greater extents, I should be able to represent my higher level thinking patterns linguistically.
Just hearing words alone has improved, the ability to process the words individually but at the same time with less effort is a skill that cannot go unnoticed.
I’d say my oral expression was the weakest link for my cognition. Partially due to low dopamine, but also due to lack of self exposure to more complex thought forms. (I’m still young technically so I had time, being that the prefrontal cortex is involved in self expressive language and well, I had more years to go of prefrontal growth.)
But I can say that this field has exhilarated me.
