Young Minds Learn Faster

It may sound strange but according to science young minds learn faster than adults. Yes! They are fast learner, actually better than the adults. According to a study, most sports have under-18 team and teams for adults as well. It is very interesting to discover that in most cases, young minds learned faster compared to adults who were also learning the same thing.

You might be wondering that how are teenagers able to learn faster in most of the cases than adults.

Kids learn faster than adults because the prefrontal cortex of the brain is more developed in adults than children. Prefrontal cortex of the brain is a place where working memory is stored.

The development of the prefrontal cortex enables adults to experience functional fixedness which makes adults see everything exactly as it is. For instance, an adult will see a golf club exactly as it is. In contrast, a child will see a broomstick as an arrow. The creativity of young minds is caused by lesser developed prefrontal cortex, which gives them the ability to be innovative. Young people have minds designed to learn, while adults have minds designed to perform.

This ability might help young students develop their understanding of finance while they are still young. It might be the best option for a parent to make their young ones try different activities related to money because it will directly help the coming generation to take right money related decisions later on in their life.

Young minds are like an empty canvas and this allows them to write their memory easily than a confused adult mind. To every young mind, a desire to learn is given by default. A young mind takes learning as a part of daily life, while adults see learning as a textbook. So, why not make our young generation financially literate when they can really learn faster?

As financial literacy is not emphasized in our current education system- most of the students lack the necessary knowledge and skills to become financially responsible adults. Schools can really play a vital role here by incorporating financial education in the syllabus.

Undoubtedly, financial literacy is a crucial life skill for the comprehensive development of every student. In the changing global economy, it has become mandatory that children should turn smart about the financial matters. To measure the level of financial awareness among school students, NCFE conducts National Financial Literacy Assessment Test (NFLAT) all over India.
