ABSTRECT Now, we are living in the world of 21st century which is known as the world of ‘Mental Stress’ in these circumstances, knowledge amplifies day by day. There is a Knowledge explosion in the world, hence each and every person tries to get this Knowledge by new & most recent Medias & they also use it. In this direction there is a qualitative growing up in the person for in receipt of Knowledge & its use by appreciative. In the same way, we notice the qualitative addition in the Educational organization, teachers, & the students, which are going to get Knowledge. In these circumstances, teachers & students feel a perplexity. So there is a question against us that, this growth in the education organization, teachers & in the students will have no proper direction for the Academic achievement of students. If we get an affirmative answer of this question, we must do the fundamental change in the teaching learning process of Education. In the present day, each person including the students and the teachers face anxiety, frustration, etc. Due to these factors, the students cannot keep much interest in their study, academic activity & their performance in the entire exam. Consequently, in this way it is very...

...based on the human memory model. A description of each of the model steps will be identified. While describing the steps, examples that illustrate the process will be given. Also, the factors that enhance or impede the flow of information in each step of the process and proactive and retroactive interference and how one counteract their effects; while studying in order to facilitate maximum retention via long-term memory. Finally, explanations of other kinds of forgetting and a discussion of strategies that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval will be discussed. A theory of human memory should not only identify a set of processes and stores, but also be able to help answer questions such as how long it will take to retrieve accessible information and when information will be forgotten or inaccessible. To do this, the theory must specify properties of the processes and stores. The basic memory processes are encoding, which is information that is coded or transformed so it can enter your memory. The second is storage. This stores and consolidates the information over time. And there’s retrieval, which allows you to get the information when needed. It’s important to know that when talking about encoding, there are three types: Acoustic meaning sounds, visuals meaning images and pictures, and semantic which gives meaning. The process of the memory model is Sensory Memory, Short Term Memory, and Long Term Memory. Sensory memory holds the sensation...

...Unit 4 Ip Debrenia Massey AIU Online Abstract The functions of a human brain consist of memory in the way things are thought of and learned and in the process. In the paper I will Identify and describe as well as give examples of how the human brain memory works. Also in this paper I will explain other kinds of forgetting and discuss the strategies that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval. Memory, Thinking and Intelligence The human memory consists of three processes: encoding, storage, retrieval. The encoding is the first process in the human memory and it is where information is transformed to be stored into a memory. The storage is the second process in the human memory and it is where physiological change has to take place in order for the memory to be stored. And the last process in the human memory is the retrieval process which is where you can retrieve memories that you stored originally during the encoding process so that the information stored can return to the same point it was in the beginning. In 1968, Richard Atkins and Richard Schifrin developed the Stage Model of Memory; which describes the basic structure and function of memory (Introduction to Psychology, p. 123). This model is made of three memory systems: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and Long-Term Memory. The Sensory Memory is the beginning stage of the memory process. It uses the five memory sense touch, smell, taste, sound, and sight. These sense organs have a limited ability to...

...English Importance of sleep. Sleep is very important and beneficial part of our lives. Sleep helps us to have a better quality of life, but nowadays not sleeping well has become part of the lives of many people. The sleep needed is between 7 to 9 hours, but some people get 6 hours or less. Sleep deficiency can be presented at any time of our lives, as adult people, teenagers and even in children. Sleeping well helps us physically and mentally. It is known that sleep plays an important role and helps us to improve our memory, health, learning and metabolism. Also sleep has an big impact on our life and it can bring a lot of consequences such as, long term diseases, car accidents, memory problems, shorter life, lower grades, deficiency at work, mad mood, poor performance exercise and extra activities. One of the consequences that lack of sleep brings is long term diseases. If we do not sleep what we need, we can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and hypertension, metabolic problems such as, obesity and diabetes and emotional disorders such as, depression and bipolar disorder. When we deprive our bodies of sleep, it raises ghrelin which it is a hormone that regulates the need to eat. When we do not sleep, that hormone increases causing us want to eat more when we do not need it, so that is when obesity problems are presented. Also, sleeping decreases leptin which is another hormone that regulates the need to eat and when it decreases, we will have the need...

...affect your academic performance? Sleep is an important part of our daily lives and the amount of sleep we receive each day affects a number of different parts in our lives which makes sleeping such a vital part of a person’s life. This is why I am so interested in this topic about how sleep affects your performance in school positively or negatively. “An area that researchers study is the impact that a lack of adequate sleep has on learning and memory. When we are sleep deprived, our focus, attention, and vigilance drift, making it more difficult to receive information” (Harvard University, 2008). Sleep plays such an important role in learning because if you are not getting a good amount a sleep, you won’t have the energy needed to possess the information that you are being taught because your brain didn’t receive the proper amount of rest to help it function at its best. “Without adequate sleep and rest, over-worked neurons can no longer function to coordinate information properly, and we lose our ability to access previously learned information” (Harvard University, 2008). Getting enough sleep every day is important because it affects your daily life in so many different ways that causes your academic performance to slip as well. The effect of sleep on academic performance affects college students the hardest. “Many students believe that it is a rite of passage to stay up all night during college and it’s kind of fun” (Yahalom, 2007). “But if you use all-nighters, your GPA...

...3 Thinking Techniques to Improve Your Intellectual Horsepower Here are 3 simple thinking techniques I tend to use each day. There are some more advanced thinking techniques, but here I’m boiling down to a set of 3 you can use today. In fact, you can even use them while you read this post. I’ll go through the thinking techniques in order from simpler to more complex, so you can use them right away. For the sake of this exercise, let’s think of "thinking" as simply asking and answering questions. If you want to improve your thinking, ask better questions. Using these techniques will improve your thinking, by improving your questions. 3 Thinking Techniques Here are 3 thinking techniques I use fairly regularly: * How Might That Be True? * PMI * Six Thinking Hats How Might That Be True When you hear something new, or information that conflicts with what you think you already know, ask yourself, "how might that be true?" This simple question will open your curiosity. It can also help you build rapport. This second point is especially important. If you’re quick to prove people wrong, people won’t share information with you. Rather than fight somebody on a point, right from the start, you can help them explore the point. You don’t have to agree. Instead, you’re exploring possibility. Sometimes people have good information or knowledge, but it’s generalized so it appears to be wrong, but there’s kernels of truth or insight. PMI I think of PMI as Edward...

...Cognitive Psychology Linda is an ex substance abuser and has experienced a few relapses. Linda is 33 and is in good health besides damage to her lungs due to smoking crack cocaine. She is concerned about her memory, since she misplaces her car keys at home and losing her car in the parking lot. Linda is also telling stories regarding her children and is later corrected for telling the story about the wrong child. Linda has no brain damage, besides the decay of her memory due to her substance abuse. When one has brain damage, or anyone uses any illicit drug, it affects the function of the brain. She believes she might be suffering from a neurological disorder. I believe the effect she is experiencing is due to her past substance use. Cocaine is known to cause several neurological disorders due to the fact that the crystalline free-base form is water insoluble which when smoking or free basing results in an instantaneous high contributing to the rapid absorption through the large pulmonary surface area and swift penetration to the brain. Cocaine can be absorbed from the mucous membrane, therefore causing neurological complications (Agarwal, 2013). Since she is healthy I would rule out that it is a neurological disorder and that it is just poor memory. Substance abuse affects the brain stem, the limbic system, and the cerebral cortex since drugs are chemicals. Cocaine causes nerve cells to release excessive amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal...

...suggests that these brain anomalies may be the result of childhood stress, or prolonged or severe stress (October 2008). Fibromyalgia (also known as FM or FMS) is estimated to affect 2-4 % of the population (October 2007) with a female to male incidence ratio of approximately 9:1 (2009). The pain associated with fibromyalgia is described as a constant dull ache, typically arising from muscles. FM is characterized by additional pain when firm pressure in applied to specific areas of your body. These are called tender points and include the back of the head, between shoulder blades, top of shoulders, front sides of neck, upper chest, outer elbows, upper hips, sides of hips, and inner knees. In order to be diagnosed you must have 11 out of the 18 total tender points. Not all Fibromyalgia patients are not restricted to just pain, which leads to the term “fibromyalgia syndrome” for the condition. “Fibrofog” is another name for cognitive dysfunction such as problems with long and short term memory, short term memory consolidation, inability to multi-task, and impaired speed of performance. The exact cause of Fibromyalgia is unknown but is believed to involve psychological, genetic,...

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to improve your memory with NLP. Do you have a hard time remembering things and aren’t sure why? There could be a lot of reasons for memory loss, but a lot of times it comes from simply being so harried and stressed that it makes it nearly impossible to concentrate and focus on what you need to in order to create the memory path required. There are also many times that we limit ourselves in our beliefs as to what our abilities and capacities are to remember things. If you truly believe that you can’t remember things, you won’t. Does that sound too simple? How many times have you told yourself that you can’t remember a grocery list, or...

...Describe most widely used mnemonics. What are general suggestions for improving memory? Mnemonic devices are techniques a person can use to help them improve their ability to remember something. In other words, it’s a memory technique to help your brain better encode and recall important information. It’s a simple shortcut that helps us associate the information we want to remember with an image, a sentence, or a word. Popular mnemonic devices include: The Method of Loci The Method of Loci is a mnemonic device that dates back to Ancient Greek times, making it one of the oldest ways of memorizing we know of. First, imagine a place with which you are familiar. For instance, if you use your house, the rooms in your house become the objects of information you need to memorize. You go through a list of words or concepts needing memorization, and associate each word with one of your locations. You should go in order so that you will be able to retrieve all of the information in the future. Acronyms An acrostic is a series of lines from which particular letters (such as the first letters of all lines) from a word or phrase. These can be used as mnemonic devices by taking the first letters of words or names that need to be remembered and developing an acronym or acrostic. For instance, in music, students must remember the order of notes so that they can identify and play the correct note while reading music. The notes of the treble staff are EGBDF. The common acrostic used for...
