Published abstract curated by @EnclaveAcademy into “sight-sized” sentences—to function as microlearning metacognition ignition keys: “Object category learning is a foundational cognitive process. Most human category learning studies involve brief paradigms lasting a few hours and show increased shape tuning in visual areas and task-dependent responses in pFC. Other studies also identify a ‘frontal bottleneck’ that limits multitasking. However, real-world categorization often involves months or years of practice, potentially producing qualitative shifts toward automaticity. We tested the hypothesis that extensive training causes a spatio-temporal shift in the neural circuitry supporting categorization. Participants were trained over >30,000 trials across 5–10 weeks to categorize novel morphed car stimuli via a mobile app. We used fMRI and EEG rapid adaptation techniques to examine neural responses after initial learning (∼4 hr in 1–2 weeks) and after extensive training (∼16 additional hours over another 4–8 weeks). Converging fMRI and EEG results showed that extensive training fundamentally remodeled task-related circuitry: Visual areas in ventral occipito-temporal cortex (vOTC) were initially shape-selective, but category-selective responses emerged in the vOTC after extensive training. The vOTC also showed decreased functional connectivity with the pFC and increased connectivity with motor output areas. This supports the hypothesis that extensive experience enables category decisions to occur outside of the ‘frontal bottleneck.’ Critically, the decrease in connectivity between vOTC and pFC was associated with improved categorization performance while dual-tasking, indicating increased automaticity. These findings demonstrate that prolonged training reshapes the neural basis of categorization, shifting it from a flexible but attentionally controlled process to a more streamlined, automatic process.” —@mitpress #ThinkToThink™ with “MIT metacognition,” as we at @enclave_center strategically refer to layers of particularly industrious rigorous “thinking about thinking”—for higher-order thorough thinking (HOTT). @MIT continually illustrates for the world ways higher-order thinking (HOT) isn’t HOTT enough.

Brilliant thinker-writer @JohnNosta maximizes metacognition’s “messy middle”—where giving oneself permission to linger a while in liminality’s fuzziness reveals more options for thresholds to cross into thoughts. #JohnNosta’s novel Slope of Cognition ignites metacognition’s ways of wonders, worries, and wows about thinkers-doers co-thinking with AI. Society’s use as synonyms “thinking” and “thought” derails The Hope of Cognition. Thinking precedes thoughts. Thinking precedes thoughts. Thinking precedes thoughts. Einstein taught the brain’s wordless visualizing ignites thinkingness—i.e., cognition that not yet fully formed into #rethinkable thoughts. Neuroscience reveals feeling ignites consciousness for thinkingness. Thinkingness isn’t yet worded into #wordness. #Thouhtingness non-clinically names the brain-mind’s wonderous “messy middle liminal place” where #thoughtlets recursively “resemble to assemble.” #Thoughtness non-clinically frames each thought’s “field for emergence.” Give permission for your wordless thinkings to move through wordish #thoughtings into worded thoughts. That’s self-permissioned metacognition. In nanoseconds to years, thoughts need time and space to form. Thinkings ➡️ Thoughtings ➡️ Thoughts… Thinkingness ➡️ Thoughtingness ➡️ Thoughtness… Ellipses (…) are punctuated permissioning to thinkably think more thinkingly beyond where thoughts may have prematurely landed and riskily anchored. Outcome measured education and workplace performance metrics force premature thoughts. Failures are reduced—not eliminated—with one’s self-permissioning to metacognitively assess and address The Slope and Hope of Cognition. Thinking has a destination. Don’t let lower-order thinkingness get in its way. #ThinkToThink™ with #JohnNosta’s ways.

Be calm. Think on.™ The Thermodynamics of Metacognition ThinkToThink™: 1. Wordless thinking, 2. Wordish thoughting, and 3. Worded thought. Below Einstein’s E=mc² is daringly rethunk a wee bit—for a “thinking through to thoughting toward thought” exercise in #ThinkToThink™ metacognition ignition. With @grok’s increasingly remarkable algorithmic thinkishness, Dr. Einstein would have been able to even more visually think through his thoughting’s liminality—toward even “thinkier” breakthrough E=mc²-like thoughts.  Instead of “mass-energy equivalence,” Team Einstein-Grok might have defined, described, and delivered “metacognition-energy equivalence” (MEE).

Aliens? AI aliens? We’re getting closer. Aliens in (n.b., not “from”) the outer metaverse may be as surprised as we when “discovering” each other. Riskily I’m guessing they don’t yet know we’re here—wherever “here” may mean to an alien. It will happen—“mutual alien discovery”—hopefully before my 101st birthday in 2051.😉 If they, the ungenerously called “aliens,” should wordlessly think—as Einstein illustrated about his strictly visual thinking preceding worded thoughts—our discernible actions will surely (maybe?) be one form of whatever semblance of communication channels may be accessible between and among “us”—quite possibly including absolute silence! Boldly I suspect it’s in the wordish #thoughting liminal space—the metacognition phenomenon that @EnclaveAcademy named for “between wordless visual thinking and worded thoughts”—that we’ll find our mutually metacognitive “pre-frontal forum.” Speculating there are human-like aliens “out there” is among prideful vanity’s impediments (i.e., biases) to alien thinking. Guessing there are no amorphous aliens already milling among us is yet another obstacle to thinkably thinkable thinking’s thinkingness about “alien cognition”—that’s beyond or below human and AI co-metacognition’s current (!) reach. The sci-fi-ish “search for aliens” is much more than that. It’s earthbound mental gravity-defying metacognitive regulation for: • Leap-taking. • Sense-making, and • Meaning-seeking. A search for #aliens—of internal or external varieties—is a metacognition-ignition exercise in: • Intellectual curiosity, • Intellectual humility, • Intellectual courageousness, • Intellectual rigor (effort), • Intellectual luminosity, and • Intellectual generosity. “Alien thinking leads courageous minds toward alien discovery.” —Enclavius That Enclavian phrase captures the core philosophy of ALIEN Thinking, an innovation framework developed by Cyril Bouquet, Jean-Louis Barsoux, and Michael Wade at the IMD Business School.

Right in there with this baby thinker about “wordless thinking” is toddler @grok—who is already growing #thinkier beyond adult human thinkers. “John R.
