Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 328: Chapter 326 Psychological Class—[Memory] Topic

Take up the time of the evening study session for a psychology class?

The students with minds full of exercises suddenly found a rare moment of mental blankness.

In senior year, using evening study sessions for classes is not unheard of.

But such things usually are only done by subjects like Chinese, Math, English, and so on.

But a psychology class? Not to mention taking up evening study time, even regular class time being taken up for self-study and practice papers isn’t uncommon.

Even Teacher Xiao Zhao herself had to make an evaluation of her current behavior—

Topsy-turvy!

Some students found it baffling, glanced up, and then lowered their heads again to continue with their exercises—this wasn’t aimed at Teacher Xiao Zhao; some students indeed have the ability to turn all classes and self-study into exercise sessions.

And some students adjusted their sitting posture, showing an interested expression.

Among these students, some genuinely wanted to take the opportunity to relax; others keenly sensed something was amiss.

When something unusual occurs, there must be something strange!

Recently, it seemed the school indeed had some initiatives related to psychology, so could this be one of them?

Teacher Xiao Zhao cleared her throat, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the students’ gaze, but fortunately, she was just laying the groundwork as a familiar face to the students.

"For the specific content of this class, we have our psychology teacher from Jiang University—Mr. Nan, to give the lecture!"

—Swish.

The students who had their heads down raised them again.

Nan Zhubin utilized his educational background to assert dominance.

For students from Jiang Province, Jiang University is second only to Tsinghua and Peking University.

If you consider the regional factor, in a certain sense, Jiang University could even stand on par with Tsinghua and Peking University.

The entire school’s senior year might not even produce one Jiang University candidate in a year.

For students striving for the college entrance exam, just the name alone is enough to attract them.

This was Nan Zhubin’s meticulously designed opening, hoping to maximize student attention and stimulate their learning enthusiasm.

It wasn’t over yet; this was just Teacher Xiao Zhao’s part.

"Creak"—

Nan Zhubin had been waiting at the door, and after Teacher Xiao Zhao finished her words, he stepped onto the podium as if taking the stage, standing in front of the blackboard.

Then he looked up and smiled.

"Wow—"

An uncontrollable gasp of amazement echoed through the class.

Young people don’t think too much; admiration for advanced aesthetics knows no gender.

If there was any difference, it would be that the girls’ eyes had a few more little stars than the boys’.

At this moment, they all leaned forward unconsciously, pushing their pens and exercises aside.

...

How to get Li Mingchen to voluntarily come for consultation?

Nan Zhubin seriously considered this question.

Based on Li Mingchen’s experiences and his reactions towards Teacher Xiao Zhao, Nan Zhubin could roughly analyze Li Mingchen’s current mindset.

First, Nan Zhubin and team were "offering free consultations," so Li Mingchen didn’t value it much.

Second, being the "health commission people," Li Mingchen might have placed himself in a contrarian position against Nan Zhubin and team, to some extent.

Third, there was a certain stigma surrounding psychological consultation at school, and Li Mingchen didn’t want his need for psychological consultation to be known by other classmates. This is why he deliberately made a "clarifying" rebuttal loudly when Teacher Xiao Zhao reminded him.

Solving these three issues is actually quite simple.

First, let Li Mingchen be aware of Nan Zhubin’s capability and realize how rare it is to have Nan Zhubin for a consultation.

Next, integrate Nan Zhubin into the school and even among the students in a classroom setting to align with Li Mingchen.

Finally, make Nan Zhubin popular among all of Li Mingchen’s classmates so that they all want to "talk" to Nan Zhubin. In this scenario, whether it’s "consultation" or anything else, Li Mingchen will be influenced by those around him to be proactive towards Nan Zhubin.

And for Nan Zhubin to gain the favor of the senior-year students and even win them over.

He certainly had to showcase some real skills and knowledge.

Nan Zhubin indeed hoped to help these students and not just take up everyone’s precious college entrance exam preparation time to achieve his own goals.

Therefore, he chose the most suitable topic for senior-year students.

...

The atmosphere in the classroom was vastly different compared to when Teacher Xiao Zhao first entered.

In the last row of the classroom, Li Mingchen lowered his head instinctively to avoid Nan Zhubin’s gaze but then looked around in puzzlement—although he was indeed good-looking, was this Teacher Nan really so popular? Why hadn’t I noticed before?

Nan Zhubin beamed in the classroom, and before the girls let out another unconscious gasp of amazement, he began speaking:

"Hello, students, let me introduce myself. My surname is Nan, and you can call me Mr. Nan."

"I believe everyone knows our school is conducting a small psychology experiment recently, and I’ve seen a lot of familiar faces in the class whom I’ve talked to before."

"Tonight’s psychology class can be considered a part of our experiment; at the same time, this is another demonstration of our psychological research results."

"So it’s not counted as a regular class, and it utilizes the evening study session’s time. I hope you all can bear with this arrangement."

In his words, Nan Zhubin offered a level of respect that high school students had rarely received from a teacher.

As Nan Zhubin was delivering his opening remarks, Teacher Xiao Zhao took the opportunity to copy the PPT Nan Zhubin had recently prepared onto the projector using a USB drive.

The classroom theme for today immediately appeared behind Nan Zhubin.

"Today’s class won’t cover psychological health education or play any psychological games. I know that in senior year, what you value and care about the most is your academic performance."

"Through this class, I hope to help you review more efficiently and to memorize knowledge points more quickly and firmly."

"So today’s class theme is—[Memory]!"

Nan Zhubin picked up a laser pointer and gently pressed the button to switch slides behind him.

"Apart from the well-known psychological consultation and psychological health education, in our psychology’s [basic psychology] field, there’s ongoing research on concepts like [sensation], [perception], and [thinking]."

"[Memory] is one of those concepts."

"Experts have even conducted experiments to explore the most efficient ways to study."

"The results of these experiments ultimately formed an efficient memory method—which is also the focus of our study today."

Nan Zhubin switched the slide, and a large chart appeared behind him.

The title was: [Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve].
