MEMORY, LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCERNTRATION

BY:PUAN ROHANA BINTI

WAN ENDUT

Why people are more clever than other creatures

· Be reasonable

· Memory

· The size of the human brain is three times greater than the size of the gorilla brain

What is in the brain?

Brain analyzed

· Scan Magnetic reasoning Imaging (MRI).

· Can measure brain electrical activity and brain function on certain parts identified

Get to know your brain

· Our brain manages data all the time.

· The brain transmitted data messages with speeds up to 250km / h, by trillion cell networks.

· The brain can produce 25 watts of electricity which is sufficient to turn on a bulb

· Flies have 100000 brain cells, mice have 5 million, 10 million monkeys and human brain have as much as 1 trillion brain cells.

· The right brain capacity is 100 times the left brain. Some humans only use 3%, 97% stored in the right brain of the unconscious part.

Memory VS Brain

Memory is an individual's ability to store, maintain and remember information and experience.
The brain is the organ.

Brain and memory association

Analogy like a computer.
Give examples of the components that exist on a computer and whether the components of the computer are as though it were in humans

Eye like Camera
Mouth like Speaker

Memory

The human memory system is divided into three types: sensory memory (SM), short term memory (STM) and long term memory (LTM).
Many are wondering how to improve one's memory.
But many do not understand or lack of exposure about the nature of memory

Sensory Memory (SM)

· Memory related to the storage of temporary information carried by the senses (5 senses).

· Is temporary.

· If the attention of the information will be processed into the Short-Term Memory (STM).

· If it does not pay attention the information is lost immediately.

Short-Term Memory (STM)

· STM is a process that allows information to be received and stored within a short period of between 30 seconds to 24 hours. Memory from SM.

· This is due to limited storage of information storage. Some information in the short-term memory system will enter the long-term memory system provided passengers and repeats.

· The information in the short-term memory will only be deleted / lost.

Recall

· The disadvantage to call back information stored in long-term memory is synonymous with forgotten words.

· The genius and the remarkable memory is the person who is capable of "recalling" the information stored in the long-term memory system, if it is to be geius, the potential of the brain to be strengthened by stimulating, training, nourishing, maintaining and invigorating the brain through modern and traditional methods.

Memory

· Brain development can be enhanced through various stimuli, advice, exercise, training and practice. Spirituality including prayer, taqwa and ibadah can nourish and activate brain cells.

· A healthy body guarantees an intelligent brain.

Forget & Remember

· Why often forget:

v Disturbance

v Focus attention

v Time factor

· Easy to remember if:

v Interest

v Choice

v Repeat

v Exercise

Elaboration Strategies

· Acronyms / cacthwords

e.g: MAS – Malaysian Airline System

UiTM – Universiti Teknologi MARA

· Acronyms / cacthphrases

e.g: Carnivores – animal eaters

Herbivores – plant eaters

Omnivores – animal and plant eaters

Decomposes – eat decaying organisms the Catchphrase: “Can Henry Omit Dents”

Mnemonics

· Memory tricks.

· Make it funny.

· There are two types of acronyms & rhythms

e.g. Micheal Jackson Kill His Brother In University

(M – merah, J – jingga, K – kuning, H – hijau, B – biru, I – indigo, U – ungu)

Causes of Poor Concentration

· Lack of attention.

· Lack of interest.

· Lack of motivation.

· Distraction from others.

· Uncomfortable environment.

· Physiological matters – illness, tiredness.

· Physiological matters – personal problems, worried, anxieties.

Strategies For Improving Concentration

· Create a positive learning environment – find a better location, reduce multitasking, minimize distractions.

· Deal with internal distractions – deal with personal problems, deal with competing activities.

· Use active learning strategies (as discussed in improving memory)

· Match your learning style to the task.

SQ3R: Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Recite & Review

· Read
