Mix of [[Ecological Psychology]] and [[Systems thinking]] IS ECOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY GOING TO EXPLAIN THE LAW OF ATTRACTION 🤣 ## Examples - [Reddit post in r/bjj](https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/10hohos/how_to_use_ecological_dynamics_for_bjj/) - Creating mini-games out of what I want to teach. For example, I'll take one submission/sweep/escape and turn it into three mini-games, starting in reverse order. This week, I taught a RNC and created a mini-game where the goal was to figure out how to get the tap/escape with a fully locked in RNC, the next mini-game was with only the first arm in place and with the same goal, and the last mini-game was from backmount with a seat belt grip. - Giving as little information as possible before we start and instead walking around class giving feedback to those who need it as they go. - Speaking less than I used to, so that students have more time practicing and less time listening to me talk. ## Benefits ### Practical explanations Comparing to traditional approach like helping a neurodiverse person that has dopamine receptors fried find focus: - Cognitive approach, you have isolated factors (neurodiversity, dopamine fried) which has a combinatorial explosion and - Ecological approach, you follow [[Constraints-led approach]] and acknowledge that you need more defined constraints to reduce [[Problem space]] and feel more in control of changing your relationship through [[Perception]] ## Applications - Teachingeco - Instead of pointing the way, asking people to find their way through constraints ### Example When applied to teaching a zettelkasten, application could look like: - Identify components - ex) topic of learning, notes, links - Identify interactions - ex) how do notes relate, how is topic turned into notes - Reminds me of [[Concept models]] - Contextualize with greater environment - ex) rest of PKM system - What affordances are allowed between the agent and arena - ex) I can directly modify my notes and links - What feedback loops are there - ex) [[Effort Is Evidence of Broken Feedback Loops]] illustrates how conceptual notes provide feedback as you can resurface old notes you took, this leads you to [[Compound knowledge with conceptual notes]] - Additionally, [[Notes allow for multi-layer time travel]] lets you engage in [[Dialogue]] with your past self - Analogies and [[Metaphor]] - ex) Constellations
