Learned Thinking

Thinking is learned, and one of the primary ways
that we learn how to think as children is through our
environment. Did you know that our brains develop
far more connections as infants and as toddlers than
are needed to grow up through toddler-hood? This
is to allow for multiple language learning and to
allow for full adaptation to the toddler’s
environment, no matter what it might be.
Workplace drug testing is needed because of the
synapse connections formed at these early stages.
Do you know why this is the case? It is very simple.
When our brains adapt to our environment as young
children, unneeded connections are simply
extraneous and subsequently die off.

What does this mean for later on in life? When a child must adapt to a dangerous, unloving, or abusive
environment, certain synapses are strengthened and certain synapses die off and ALL of these synapse variations
are meant to help the child to survive further in their environment. These synapse variations start out as
temporary changes. Over time, they turn into long-term or more permanent changes. Of course, the brain can
adapt and become acclimatized to any type of thinking, so nothing is entirely permanent, but it is a habitual
process that, if left unchecked, will simply continue to produce the same synapse variations if the child is in danger
or left stressed out over a long period of time. In adulthood, onsite drug and alcohol testing becomes necessary
because of these deficiencies, not only in the inherent thinking of the adult, but also in the actual brain
connections or depletions which are still being formed and reformed within their minds.

On the jobsite, some of your employees simply may not be able to handle adulthood and adult responsibilities
within their own minds without their dependencies, at least in the short term. Keep this internalization in mind
when you are setting up your company drug and alcohol testing program. Mediscreen provides drug and alcohol
screening services to businesses throughout Australia, and our goal is to help your businesses perform better and
function better through consistent and regular use of employee drug testing. Call us today: (+61) 1300 79 70 40.
