cognitive theory

if a person studies 

and then that person starts to daydream 

then it could be because that person needs a break 

since that person studied too long 

and/or because the studies are too difficult 

so what happens is that 

when the brain is saturated with information 

from studies 

then the brain tries to escape 

from accumulating more information 

and the brain does that 

by fantasizing about the information 

that is easily processed. 

that the brain accumulated before 

which most likely is entertainment 

such as movies, video games, creative ideas 

and so on 

but what if that process could be reversed 

so that if a person studies on an online education platform 

with an ai teacher fully integrated into that online platform 

then that ai teacher would notice 

when the student becomes less responsive 

and when the performance of that student starts to drop 

so then the ai teacher could try to fill the role of daydreaming 

by creating new study content 

that is more creative 

and based on the entertainment preferences of that student 

so if a student studies math on an online platform 

and that student lives in an apartment in ireland 

but too far away from the sea 

so that the student can't see the sea from its window 

and the student likes pirates movies 

then the ai teacher 

could create a math assignment 

about pirates dividing a treasure between them 

while calming pirate music plays in the background 

and the online platform gets a tropical pirate theme 

with background pictures of palm trees, beaches and treasure 

my cognitive theory could easily be tested 

if a human teacher teaches math to a student 

and that teacher knows that student likes scifi movies 

then that teacher could start talking with the student 

about those scifi movies that the student likes 

while the teacher is helping the student with math 

and if it then becomes easier for the student to understand math 

then it's probably because those neurons in the student's brain 

that handle information about scifi movies are activated 

which makes it easier to activate other neurons 

that handle math logic and math information
