Like the more data the frontal lobes have, the easier it is to make plans.
So if I make, you know, if I make five measurements and then over time I spend a year practicing homework and then five years doing homework and then 10 years doing homework, then I'll figure out how long it takes for me to do homework.
Does that make sense?
The more information we give our frontal lobes, the better they perform.
Now, here's the problem in ADHD.
We don't have this.
So the frontal lobes are trying to plan without any info.
So what we want to do is we want to take this bad boy, the thalamus,
And we're going to use this to feed the frontal lobes.
Doesn't matter.
It can be like low quality information.
The more info you give it, the frontal lobes will do their job.
They will start to.
Make estimates.
They will correct their estimates.
So it'll make an estimate.
You sit down tomorrow.
You try to do it.
Turns out that it's off.
