Great explanation behind why we have that aha moment. Definitely something to consider the next time I come across something difficult.

I'm so glad the explanation resonated. Next time you're stuck, I hope the 3-step process helps spark your next aha moment!

This is brilliant. I do this often albeit intuitively. Thank you for breaking down the science behind it. It just makes so much more sense.

Diffuse mode can disengage us for a longer time. I feel loading the material and making connections is a simultaneous activity. Repetition before we retire for the day and reloading the same stuff boosts learning. This is my experience. Nicely explained, learning something is not a separate process; its cumulative. Thank you for a wonderful post.
