Adding myelin to axons can change neuron behavior without scrambling and rewiring. When it comes to neurotransmitters there are also different kinds of cells besides neurons that have effects. However given the complexity of the brain I generally think that it’s more useful to treat it as a blackbox.
Pressure often leads to a person reducing exploration in the domain where the pressure is applied. Exploration can be important for learning (and thus belief change).
http://thefieldcenter.org/06resources/downloads/learning_to_learn.pdf is an interesting explanation of Feldenkrais’s perspective on learning.
Oh, I emphatically agree with all of the above. The phrase “scramble and rewire” was not intended to be biologically accurate. And Feldenkrais’s perspective seems like basically a rephrase of my message. (I think it’s obvious that in my model high “psychological resistance” is a BAD thing)
