you're going to go out for a walk
in your left hand.
process did we focus on?
юунд нь бид төвлөрсөн бэ?
coming up with a new idea.
with a variety of people.
хүмүүсийн дунд хийсэн.
indoors or outdoors.
found the same conclusion.
about one of them today.
was alternate uses.
олон төрлийн хэрэглээг хэмжсэн.

what else would you do with a key,
for opening up a lock?
as a third eyeball for a giraffe, right?
Тийм биз?
Гэхдээ бүтээлч үү?
kind of new. But is it creative?
as many ideas as they could,
that a lot of people go with
гэж тодорхойлдог.
it has to be realistic,
a key as an eyeball.
нүд болгож ашиглаж болохгүй.
is that nobody had to have said it.
хэлэх хэрэггүй.
байх нь чухал.
that we surveyed could have said it.
байх ёстой юм.
a key to scratch somebody's car,
ашиглаж болно гэж бодож магад
you didn't get credit for it.
та оноо авахгүй.
and it were a murder mystery,
of the murderer into the ground
because it's appropriate and it's novel.
учир нь хэрэгтэй бөгөөд шинэлэг.
with ideas while you were seated
гүйлтийн зам дээр алхаж
with different objects.
хоёр өөр эд зүйлсээр хийсэн.
while walking on a treadmill.
алхаж байгаад хийсэн.
and this is interesting --
and then they sat.
дараа нь суусан.
that sat together for the first test,
эхний туршилтанд суусан ба
about 20 creative ideas per person.
on the treadmill
on a treadmill in a windowless room.
гүйлтийн зам дээр алхсан.
test didn't get any better;
хүмүүс сайн байгаагүй ба
and then went on the treadmill
walking on the treadmill
is that you should go for a walk
та дараагийн том хурал эсвэл
and just start brainstorming right away.
алхах хэрэгтэй.
the best effect possible.
or a topic to brainstorm.
сэдвээ сонгох хэрэгтэй.
and all of a sudden,
you're thinking about ahead of time.
сэтгэж буй явдал юм.
brainstorming a different perspective
is that if I were running,
would be to stop running, so ...
гүйхээ зогсоох л байсан.
is a comfortable pace, good.
бол сайн байна.
activity is not taking a lot of attention.
биеийн хөдөлгөөн болох аж.
pace is a good choice.
as many ideas as you can.
гаргахыг хүснэ.
is to not lock on that first idea.
эхний санаандаа баригдахгүй байх.
until you pick one or two to pursue.
шинэ санаа гаргаад л бай.
to write them down,
and record through your phone
гар утсаараа бичлэг хий.
a creative conversation, right?
your idea down is already a filter.
өөрөө шүүлтүүр болдог.
"Is this good enough to write down?"
гэж бодно.
record them and think about them later.
тэмдэглээд дараа нь бод.
and that idea's not coming to you,
on a break right now,
нэг санаа байна.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marily Oppezzo - Behavioral and learning scientistMarily Oppezzo studies how the movement of the body can affect the movement of the mind.
Why you should listen
Inheriting an energetic passion for health from her dad, Marily Oppezzo's past research has investigated ways to use the world to motivate healthy brains and healthy behaviors. She is currently an Instructor of Medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center. She is also working with Dr. Dan Schwartz to find out if fidgeting in the classroom may be a desirable cognitive tool rather than an irritating hallmark of inattention, and she's working with Dr. Margaret Neale and Dr. Jodi Prochaska to discover how walking may improve negotiation outcomes.
Along her way, Oppezzo has collected several souvenir lessons from her range of work and educational experiences:
Bartending:
1. The environment has incredible power to elicit and shape behaviors; and
2. Everyone has at least one interesting story in them.
Dietetics:
1. Biochemistry is fascinating;
2. We grant food immense powers. It can be simultaneously viewed as a vehicle of health, morality, social bonding, government conspiracy, inequality and pleasure; and
3. A plateful of knowledge doesn't always help the medicine go down.
Teaching / education:
1. Watching people learn, grow, and change is a deep gratification unique to teaching and behavior change work; and
2. Learning, like behavior change, takes distributed practice to become part of you. (We can’t binge-watch knowledge any more than we should pull flossing all-nighters).
Cardiac rehab:
1. Everyone has the capacity to be an inspiration and in surprising, unexpected ways; and
2. Health becomes incredibly valuable once you experience a true loss of it; and
3. Exercise is the ultimate multitasker: it can heal the brain, the heart and the body all at once.
