MEMORY
IMPROVING CONCENTRATION AND READING SYSTEM
Hello again, Mazel’s here! So this week class is about
improving our memories in studies. At the beginning of the class is a little
bit hectic because of some technical issues, like the class doors were locked,
and attendance sheet gone missing. In spite of all the technical issues, the
class with Miss Shamsinar binti Rahma was fun. She teaches on how to improve
our memory as a university student.
The first question that’s been asked was;
WHAT DISTRACTING YOU IN THE CLASS?
- · MAINLY CELL PHONE (of course).
- · WHEN THE CLASS IS WAY TOO COLD.
Urggh… I guess everyone feels the same way.
That moment when you open the door’s class and the breeze that came with it,
you can feel it to the BONES! I might even get a cold because it’s way too
cold.
- · WHEN YOU TRYING TO TAKE NOTES BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU TRYING TO LISTEN TO THE LECTURER.
I think this is like a process that I have
to get through as a new student to get used to university way of study.
- · SLEEPY
Especially if I have a class at 8 in the morning!
Extremely sleepy, also maybe because it’s the Ramadhan month, that’s why I’m a
bit sleepy. I also think I have to adjust my sleep time because ever since I
started my university interim’s week, I’ve always sleep at 1 a.m. and woke up at 7 a.m. which for me is not
normal. I usually sleep the max at 11p.m. and woke up the next morning at 8
a.m. I know that I’m in a new environment and everything takes time ‘till I
adjust myself with the sleep time, I guess.
A.
UNDERSTANDING MEMORY PROCESS
“KNOWLEDGE COMES WITH LEARNING,
SKILLS COME WITH EXPERIENCE. ATTITUDE NEVER COMES, DEVELOPED…!”
WHY YOU NEED TO LEARN UED?
- · UED subject can be applied to the way we learn.
- · It not only helps you succeed academically, it will also help you do well in life.
- · Without it, you will become overwhelmed and discouraged.
BRAIN
o The brain is
the physical place.
o Brain is part
of the visible, tangible world.
MEMORY
o Allow us to remember facts and experiences
o Consists of encoding, storing information, and retrieved,
making that information available for recall.
o When we experience something, it leaves a trace in our
brain
WHAT IS LEARNING?
.
·
Learning, unlike memory, is NOT about storing information. BUT,
LEARNING IS A BEHAVIOR.
·
Learning is about acquiring information.
Memory is about storing it.
·
In a way, you could say that learning is a
process and memory is the record of that process.
HOW TO IMPROVE MEMORY WITH GOOD
HABITS?
1.
GET ENOUGH
SLEEP
-
Without a good night’s sleep, you are not able
to remember your dreams the next day.
-
Give about 8-6 hours of sleep a day; R.E.M sleep
so that you can remember what you learn during the day and also to prepare your
memory for the next day in class.
2.
DRINK
PLENTY OF WATER!
-
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and to
stay focused during your study.
3.
EXERCISE
“Exercise help the
memory in both DIRECT and INDIRECT ways” –Harvard Health Letter
-
‘DIRECTLY’ is by reduce inflammation and it also
helps our brain stimulate the growth of blood cell in the brain.
-
‘INDIRECTLY’ by help you sleep better and reduce
stress & anxiety.
4.
SALT LEVELS
IN OUR BODY AFFECT YOUR MEMORY.
-
A lack of salt is going to hurt our memory.
-
A low level of salt in body may impede your
ability to create new memories.
-
Too much salt will contribute to Alzheimer
disease.
5.
AVOID
EXCESSIVE SUGAR
-
Hippocampus is part of brain that is sensitive
to sugar.
-
The function of hippocampus is used in learning,
memory, and for long-term memory.
p/s; For this week I want to share a video about good habits that we all can practice!
