emerging that these regions and interconnecting pathways have sensitive exposure periods when they are most vulnerable (Glaser, 2000) ”. In addition, childhood abuse alters brain structure and function. For example, “the hippocampus is a key limbic structure that is critically involved in the formation and retrieval of memories, including autobiographical memories” (Glaser, 2000). Evidence points out that adults with history of maltreatment have smaller hippocampi. Also, there may be weaker effects of stress

role is to add cognitive meaning and place the information that is processed into appropriate context. As soon as the hippocampus has stored the context, the information can be permanently stored in the cortex as explicit memory. However, during trauma the processing of the memory does not happen in this manner (Simington, 2013). During traumatic events, the amygdala records the extremely charged emotions and sensations, but if the trauma is severe enough the hippocampus can become overcharged and

music and short term memory. This is an example of a research paper with data observation and analysis. The observations were recorded by running ANOVA and Post Hoc tests to compute values for the variables. The goal was to find a positive correlation between the two variables. For that a hypothesis was tested that was proven to be negative. Alternatively, this proved the scientific validation of the null hypothesis i.e. “positive correlation exists between short term memory and listening to Mozart’s

Prevalence Cramming is often done the night before an exam; in Japan this is known informally as one-night pickling (一夜漬, いちやづけ ichiya-dzuke?). In Commonwealth countries, cramming usually occurs during the revision week (week before exams), also known as "swotvac" or "stuvac". Over a longer term, cram schools exist in various countries, often designed to impart large amounts of information over the course of a year or longer.
