Abstract
Deep learning has been shown to benefit greatly from cognitive immersion, especially the flow state. A psychological state of total concentration and involvement, flow is important for enhancing memory, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. This study examines the connection between deep learning and flow by examining educational approaches and neuroscientific data. Through data analysis and a study of the literature, we pinpoint important strategies for promoting cognitive immersion in learning environments. According to the results, fostering flow in learners requires striking a balance between difficulty and competence, reducing outside distractions, and incorporating intrinsic drive.
