What is your brain good at?

I just did a simple quiz on what is your brain good at ? This quiz is simple and casual but not mean to be serious . My result is......


For me, this is pretty accurate cos i rarely think about stuff in images. This makes me think about cognitive psychology. What makes language interesting is the synatic first approach and the interactionist approach.

Synatic first approach means that it goes in the way of proper english sentence construction. You  would actually check the way the sentence is structured rather than the meaning that is wrapped within the sentence.

Interactionist approach actually take note of the meaning that is wrapped within the sentence. In this case, we look at how at sentence is phrase according to the meaning.

Parents at times might have problem coaching kids in terms of english sentence construction is because the kids tend to use this term which is called principle of late closure in sentence construction. Principle of late closure means that the person keep on adding on the new added word into the sentence without considering the context. It meant that  a sentence might never end in this way. Therefore, for composition writing it is best to help the kid to understand that when they are writing the story , they must consider the context and know when to end for a sentence.
