Norman Doidge Quotes

Neuroplasticity contributes to both the constrained and unconstrained aspects of our nature. It renders our brains not only more resourceful, but also more vulnerable to outside influences Picture Quote #1

Psychoanalysis is often about turning our ghosts into ancestors, even for patients who have not lost loved ones to death. We are often haunted by important relationships from the past that influence us unconsciously in the present. As we work them through, they go from haunting us to becoming simply part of our history. (243) Picture Quote #1

We often praise ‘the ability to multi-task.’ While you can learn when you divide your attention, divided attention doesn’t lead to aiding change in your brain maps [lasting changes] Picture Quote #1

Not all activities are equal... Those that involve genuine concentration - studying a musical instrument, playing board games, reading, and dancing - are associated with a lower risk for dementia Picture Quote #1

Ironically, some of our most stubborn habits and disorders are products of our plasticity Picture Quote #1

Nothing speeds brain atrophy more than being immobilized in the same environment Picture Quote #1

Psychoanalysis is often about turning our ghosts into ancestors Picture Quote #1

The brain is a far more open system than we ever imagined, and nature has gone very far to help us perceive and take in the world around us. It has given us a brain that survives in a changing world by changing itself Picture Quote #1

Language development, for instance, has a critical period that begins in infancy and ends between eight years and puberty. After this critical period closes, a person’s ability to learn a second language without an accent is limited. In fact, second languages learned after the critical period are not processed in the same part of the brain as is the native tongue Picture Quote #1

We all have what might be called a culturally modified brain, and as cultures evolve, they continually lead to new changes in the brain Picture Quote #1

Mind training matters. It is not just a luxury, or a supplementary vitamin for the soul. It determines the quality of every instant of our lives Picture Quote #1

Thought changes structure... I saw people rewire their brains with their thoughts, to cure previously incurable obsessions and trauma Picture Quote #1
