Social interaction
Social interaction is when we are together with others. It can be both face-to-face and online. Both types of interaction affect how we think and learn. Research shows some interesting findings on how the brain reacts when we are in groups.
Research shows more activity in the brain when we are in groups. There is high activity in the part of the brain that is called the frontal lobe when we think about ourselves and which groups we belong to. So being together with others forms our identity. We need social contact.
Being too social is not good either. It can be mentally demanding. It takes a lot of work for the brain to get involved with other people. That explains why we need both social interaction and time alone.
But are we able to take breaks when we should be constantly available?
