Is it possible for the brain to learn 10 hours a day?

Answer 1

Hi Asked,

That would depend on exactly how you define learning. The brain alters its internal chemical states continuously in response to stimuli. Assuming you can stay awake for 10 hours straight, therefore you can learn over that period.

Now, if you start to limit your definition of learning to be acquisition and recall of specific information, that's likely to be more limited, b/c by the time we are adults we have earned to scan and disregard most incoming information, unless it conflicts with something already known or seems to pose a threat.

But you suspected I might say something like that, so you are already moving on, mentally, eh?
