Third Week Of Interim

Study In UiTM: PART 2 (MEMORY LEARNING)

1ST SLOT: MISS INFAZA

MEMORY VS BRAIN

Memory is the ability of an individual to encode,store, and retrieve information

 (like computer software)

Brain is an organ (computer hardware)

BRAIN

• Brain is one of the largest and most complex organ in the human body
• It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connection called synapses.

COMPUTER ANALOGY

• Encoding/input (computer - keyboard,camera; human - the 5 senses: ears,mouth,nose,skin,eyes)
• Storage (computer - hard dis, thumb drive; human - 3 types of memory - SM, STM, LTM)
• Retrieval/output (computer - computer screen, printer; human - writing, talking)

SENSORY MEMORY (SM)

HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF DAYDREAMING IN CLASS? 

WHEN YOU ARE DAYDREAMING OR THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE, YOU AREN'T PAYING FULL ATTENTION TO WHAT THE PROFESSOR IS SAYING.

• Essentially,our senses (vision, hearing, smell,taste, and touch) are always very busy. We hear , see, smell, taste, and touch hundreds of stimuli each moments.
• Most of these stimuli are unimportant and are therefore quickly forgotten. However, some stimuli are important to us and worth remembering, but we have to pay attention to them or they are quickly forgotten.
• Attention is critical to the functioning of the sensory registers.
• Without attending to the information presented, you can't process that information through the sensory registers. 
• In the same way, if you're trying to read a text chapter and watch television at the same time, you may find that you won't remember much of what you read (or much of the TV show). 
• To complete a new or difficult task, you must pay full attention to it.

SHORT - TERM MEMORY

- Once you decide you want to remember something, you have to immediately move it into short- term memory.

-However, to do this, the material must be encoded; you must make it meaningful.

-Short- term memory has two components: immediate                  memory and working memory

Immediate memory is related to the concept of consciousness.

Example:

           Remembering telephone number 

    Pain from a new pair of shoes 

                               Police siren

You can only remember the material that is currently in front of you at any one time. 

Because immediate memory is very limited, you typically can retain only about seven (plus or minus two) chunks of information in your memory.

Working memory 

 To hold on to information and get into your long- term memory, you must first move the material into the other part of your short- term memory, the working memory.

This part of the memory system is aptly named because you really have to work on the material to make it meaningful, memorable, and easy to retrieve. You can use a variety of strategies to move information into your LTM memory, but all have one thing in common. 

The harder you work on the material, the greater the probability that you'll put the material into LTM in a place where you can find it again.

LONG - TERM MEMORY 

• Once material has been processed in working memory, it can be moved into long- term memory.
• Long- term memory has an almost unlimited capacity. We have not yet discovered anyone who has completely filled his or her LTM.
• In fact, the more we learn, the more capacity for learning we appear to have.
• Building long- term memories appears to provide a structure for adding new memories.
• LTM also is remarkable because we appear to hold on to most of our memories indefinitely. We also rely on our LTM to encode new information.
• In an instance; you couldn't identify a cloud shaped like an elephant if you didn't already have a prior knowledge of an elephant in your LTM.

REASONS WHY WE TEND TO FORGOT & REMEMBER

WHY WE FORGOT EASILY IS BECAUSE:

1. DISTRACTION
2. FOCUS 
3. TIME FACTOR

IT'S EASY TO REMEMBER IF:

1. REPETITION
2. REHEARSAL

How To Improve Your Strategy in studies?

1. MASSED PRACTICE VS SPACED PRACTICE

Massed practice (not good) - cramming, involves studying all the materials at one time. 

Do not have time to understand, remember, and organize the reading materials.

Reason: Short- term memory (STM) cannot sustain many information at one time.

Spaced practice (good, recommended) - involves space time over some period of time for studying. 

Allows time for the information to consolidate in the Long- term memory. Taking breaks between learning sessions allow you to think and organize the information.

           2. Break reading material down (again no cramming) for some period of time. e.g 2 chapters per day, not all chapters a day before the exam

3. Mnemonics

1. Memory tricks
2. Make it funny 
3. Example of mnemonics: 
   

4. Elaboration strategies

 ➨imagery

 ➨acronyms

example:

 ➨acrostics

example:

              CAUSES OF POOR CONCENTRATION

➧Lack of attention

➧Lack of interest

➧Lack of motivation

➧Distraction from others

➧Uncomfortable environment

➧Physiological matters- illness, tiredness

➧Psychological matters- personal problems, anxieties, and worries

STUDY METHOD💪

SQ3R: (SURVEY, QUESTION,

                   READ, RECITE, REVIEW)

➤Survey👀

• Making a survey to get a picture about all the topic that you gonna read
• Title, subtopic, introduction part, graph, chart, diagram, and topic summarisation

➤Question🙋

• Construct the question while reading to make it easier to find the answer

➤Read📗

• Read the paragraph for some information
• Then, find the answer from the constructed question. It enhance the ability of student to focus in studies

➤Recite⌛

• Shorten, rephrase the paragraph
• Make a note or try to remember the note
• Memorize the content

➤Review📃

• Make a revision
• Take a look at the note again, make sure to remember it
• Try to remember the question  that have been constructed again and answer it again. If you don't memorize it, try about it over and over until you find the answer
• Remember! short note can be keep in our mind in a long time

I hope these tips can be helpful to ease your studies. I, myself also find that these tips will be helpful in doing my studies.
