What is “Mental Simulation”?
“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” — Michelangelo, sculptor and artist
Key Points:
- Mental Simulation is our mind’s ability to imagine taking a specific action and simulating the probable result before acting.
- Anticipating the results of our actions improves our ability to solve new problems.
- Mental Simulation relies on our memory, learned via perception and experience.
- Without supplying a goal, a destination, mental simulation can’t exist.
- Mental Simulation is extremely powerful if you learn how to harness it consciously.
Questions for Consideration:
- How often do you use your imagination to imagine the results or consequences of specific actions or goals?
- How could you set aside more time for productive mental simulation?
