Learning about the Memory
ABSTRACT
The purpose of writing this book is to help students reach their full potential by providing a simple way to understand the learning process. In order to successfully compete on the world stage, learn highly effective and learn that retains knowledge and skills, not just a test, but a lifetime. Being a taker is essential. This helps to change the way you prepare for learning, to make learning easier and more effective, and to recall new information more successfully when needed. This book explains research on how the human brain learns in an easy way to understand and function.
1. Introduction
The brain begins to mature even before birth. Although it
continues to mature throughout most of life, the brain does not mature at the
same rate in each individual. This summarizes some of the easily adapted
changes that significantly enhance our college experience by helping us learn
how to adapt to the brain. The human brain needs inertia between different
learning experiences to process and initiate memories of new experiential
matter. The brain must work to learn new things and give us time to do
that work. Being an efficient and effective learner will be the most important
criterion of what can and will be achieved in a lifetime.
2. A
new Definition of learning
There are approximately 86 billion brain cells, and when
learning something new, some cells in the brain interact with other brain cells
and form new cell networks, representing the new learning that has taken
place. When activated frequently, these new networks have the potential
to become long-term memories. In fact, the connections between brain
cells are strengthened and information is easily recalled every time new
information or skills are used or trained. Making connections is like
opening a door. But every time the path is used it becomes more
established and easier to follow. At the neuron level, the establishment
and maintenance of the pathway is called long-term potential. As a result
of long-term potential, you become accustomed to adding something new, two or
five at a time. Long-term potential is a neurological description of how
habits and long-term memories occur. Any practical knowledge or skill
will become a more permanent part of your memory and will be easily available
when needed, even if it is not needed for weeks or months at a time. The
important message for all learners is that new learning requires considerable
training and a meaningful connection with other information in order to become
a more permanent part of memory.
2.1 Preparing to Learn:
Nutrition, Hydration, Sleep, and Exercise
Water is essential for optimal brain health and
function. The brain needs water to produce hormones and
neurotransmitters. They are the main players in the communication system
of the brain at the heart of learning
Dehydration causes fatigue, dizziness, poor
concentration and reduced cognitive ability. Brain research on the
important role of exercise and sleep in the brain's ability to learn and
remember has provided tremendous evidence. Exercise may be the most
important activity you can participate in to improve learning. Preparing
the brain to learn is a new idea for many students but it is very important for
your ability to learn.
2.2 Cramming: “Learning” Without Remembering
Even if all the information is memorized and passed through
tests, the information is quickly forgotten. But the learned information
should be used later. For this, after distributed practice helps in long
term memory.
2.3 Transference
of Learning
Psychologist call this transference. The more you hear
the exchange distance, the more you need to understand what is being
done. Real learning happens when you start to increase the shift
distance. The transference of knowledge and skills will help you enter the
final competition and do your future job well. Learning to switch to new
learning is not easy. It usually requires a little extra training.
Long-term potential makes switching easier.
4. CONCLUSION
To compete successfully on the world stage, it is essential
to be a highly efficient and learnable learner who retains knowledge and skills
not only for a test but for a lifetime. This helps to change the way you
prepare for learning, to make learning easier and more effective, and to recall
new information more successfully when needed. This book explains research
on how the human brain learns in an easy way to understand and function.
