Social media is a fascinating new human phenomenon and when we look at it deeply from a brain point of view,
Sosyal medya, insanlığın yeni ve büyüleyici bir olgusu ve onu beyin açısından derinlemesine incelediğimizde,
2
when we start with the foundation that the brain is actually the social organ of the body,
Beynin aslında vücudun sosyal organı olduğu temelinden yola çıktığımızda,
3
we can understand why social media and and brain functions would go hand in hand.
Sosyal medyanın ve beyin fonksiyonlarının neden birbirleriyle yakından ilişkili olduğunu anlayabiliyoruz.
4
That is, the reason social media took off in this last 10 years is
Yani, sosyal medyanın son 10 yılda bu kadar hızlı yayılmasının sebebi şu:
5
because the brain is social and people really want to connect with each other.
Çünkü beyin sosyal bir organdır ve insanlar gerçekten birbirleriyle bağlantı kurmak isterler.
6
And then, once social media was designed and keeps on creating itself, then the social media, in fact,
Ve sonra, sosyal medya tasarlandıktan ve kendini geliştirmeye devam ettikten sonra, sosyal medya aslında,
7
is going to be shaping the brain so that the brain is responsive to culture.
Beyni, kültüre duyarlı hale gelecek şekilde şekillendirecek.
8
And in one of our research centers at UCLA, what we're able to show is that cultural experiences,
UCLA'daki araştırma merkezlerimizden birinde, kültürel deneyimlerin,
9
that is messages sent out in society that are mediated through communication, either one-on-one or mass media communication,
Yani, toplumda bire bir veya kitle iletişim araçları aracılığıyla iletilen mesajlardır.
10
actually shape the actual structure of the brain.
Aslında beynin gerçek yapısını şekillendirirler.
11
And so it's a two-way street.
Dolayısıyla bu karşılıklı bir durum.
12
The brain created social media, and social media shapes the brain.
Beyin sosyal medyayı yarattı ve sosyal medya da beyni şekillendiriyor.
13
One of the simple things I think
Bence basit şeylerden biri şu:
14
that social media does is it brings us back at least to a feeling on one level
Sosyal medyanın yaptığı şey, bizi en azından bir düzeyde o duyguya geri götürmektir.
15
that we're having the connections that we evolved to have.
Evrimsel süreçte sahip olmamız gereken bağlantıları kuruyoruz.
16
It's a great question, you know, is social media replacing our relationships or is it adding to it?
Bu harika bir soru, biliyorsunuz, sosyal medya ilişkilerimizin yerini mi alıyor yoksa onlara katkıda mı bulunuyor?
17
From a brain point of view, the difference between let's say email and social media versus face to face interaction is very interesting.
18
So studies for example that have shown what it's like
19
when you actually are with someone face to face where you have eye contact, you're sharing facial expressions, there's a tone The tone of voice you can hear,
20
the posture of the person, the gestures, the timing of what they do, the intensity of what they respond with.
21
Those seven signals, and those are eye contact, facial expression, tone of voice, posture, gestures, timing, intensity.
22
If you memorize those, it's really useful because then you'll see what texting, what email, and what most social media actually is lacking.
23
Now, when you look at what area of the brain both sends out those non-verbal signals
24
and receives them and makes sense of them, it's the right hemisphere of the brain.
25
And the right hemisphere of the brain is much more closely connected to the lower regions, so the higher right areas are connected to the lower regions of the brain
26
and those lower regions work with the body itself to create our emotions, to give us the felt texture of lived life.
27
So one deep concern that I have as a developmental theorist
28
and a developmental clinician is is that the more and more people spend time not using non-verbal signals,
29
and instead use mostly verbal ones, that is, text with language that has this linear way of being distributed,
30
you're activating primarily your left hemisphere, which in the brain is much more distant from the lower areas that help mediate emotion with the body.
31
And even autobiographical memory is dominant on the right side, so you're much more into just logistics.
32
Even thinking about how people are gonna care about you
33
or like you is a left brain thing
34
which is fascinating it's called social display rules
35
so from a hemisphere point of view what i'm deeply concerned about is
36
if social media email texting are not actually getting people more face-to-face time with each other
37
or getting them in touch with even what's going on inside
38
of them then the new generation will be much more used to a very surface level of experiencing the world.
39
So there's nothing inherently wrong with social media, but if it is replacing time for face-to-face,
40
then that could be a big problem.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
