球场上的镜像神经元 昨天打羽毛球，我从一个刚输给我们的对手身上学到一件事：复盘不能只盯着自己的失误，也要研究对手为什么打得好。 打完两局双打，对面打得更好的那位球友径直走到我面前，问我在羽毛球群里叫什么名字。真正让我意外的，是他接下来谈的不是输赢。 一场酣畅淋漓的混双 昨晚的这球场，我和一位公司招聘团队的之前就认识的女生搭档。 球场上，她落落大方，动作干净利索，在前场左右横移，敢扑敢压，根本不在意动作是否好看。我在后场调动和下压，她在前场抽挡、拦截。我们一边打球一边说笑，第一次搭档却配合得相当默契。 对面是两个男生。其中一位打得不错，球风犀利，落点也很聪明；另一位的球路则直来直往，更喜欢硬碰硬。 我们没有跟他们比蛮力，而是不断变换落点，把他们前后左右调动起来。有时他们被拉得前后踉跄，有时又不得不左右飞奔。等空当出来，我就在后场追身重杀，或者把球吊到网前，让他们来不及上网，只能望球兴叹。 两局下来，四个人都满头大汗。我们打得非常尽兴。对面那位相对弱一些的球友，因为拖了队友后腿，偶尔会尴尬地笑一笑。另一位却既没有不服，也没有憋屈。他下场后的反应，反而让我刮目相看。 不只复盘自己，也要观察对手 他走到我面前，先问我在羽毛球群里的名字，然后直接说出了自己的观点： 球场上要交流。既要跟队友交流，也要跟对手交流。 这也是他下场后马上来认识我的原因。 他接着说，打完球不能只反思自己哪个球没打好、下次应该怎么改，也要留意对手打出了哪些好球。为对手喝彩的同时，也是在学习对手：这个球为什么打得好？他的动作、意识和球路有什么特别？以后自己能不能模仿？ 在他看来，提高不能只盯着自己。观察别人怎么打，同样是一条学习路径。 这番话让我意外。刚才在场上，我们一次次把他们调动得很被动。我原以为他下来后多少会有点懊恼，没想到他首先做的却是认识对手，主动交流，并且琢磨能从刚才的对抗中学到什么。 镜像神经元：观察也是一种练习 这让我联想起前段时间读的《智能简史》提到，即使只是观察别人完成动作，大脑也会对这个动作进行某种模拟。参与这一过程的神经元被称为“镜像神经元”（Mirror Neurons），也被认为与模仿有关。 这也让我重新理解那位球友的做法：盯住一个好球，观察对手的动作、意识和线路，在脑子里重新过一遍，再设法变成自己的东西。 想到这里这里，我又联想起自己曾经教孩子运动时常犯的错。 不能只是埋头苦练 每个孩子的运动天赋和学习节奏都不一样。看到别人一学就会，而自己的孩子练了很多遍，提高却不明显，大人很容易着急，甚至脱口而出：“为什么别人会，你还不会？”这种比较除了打击信心，并不能帮他找到问题。 我以前更容易把“多练”当作答案，觉得动作做得不够好，就再多做几遍。后来才意识到，不能只让孩子埋头苦练、独自琢磨。适当地让他看教程里的动作分解，看比赛视频中高手怎样移动、发力和处理球，再回到场上尝试，也可能带来提高。 当然，看懂不等于做到，观察也代替不了亲自练习。但练习并不只发生在自己挥拍的那一刻。认真看别人怎样完成一个动作，也是在给下一次尝试做准备。 这位球友让我看到，输掉一场球和学到一点东西并不矛盾。能从对手身上看到值得喝彩、值得模仿的地方，也许正是他越打越好的原因。  ( 1 min )
