UNDERSTANDING MEMORY PROCESSES
ACTIVITY 1
MEMORY vs BRAIN
Memory is the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information.
Brain is an organ.
BRAIN
l Brain is the organ inside your head that controls your body's activities and enables you to think and to feel things such as heat and pain.
l Largest and most complex organs in the human body.
l Made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses.
l Your brain contains billions of nerve cells arranged in patterns that coordinate thought, emotion, behavior, movement and sensation.
Humans vs Animals
l Humans also have more neurons per unit volume than other animals.
l "The more complicated a brain gets, the more gyri and sulci, or wiggly hills and valleys, it has.”-(Holand)
l Humans also have the largest frontal lobes of any animal.-(Holand)
Left brain vs Right brain
l The left brain controls all the muscles on the right-hand side of the body.
l The right brain controls the left side.
l The left brain involved in speech and language, and it also associated with mathematical calculation and fact retrieval, Holland said.
l The right brain plays a role in visual and auditory processing, spatial skills and artistic ability — more instinctive or creative things, Holland said.
For this game, we need to name the colour spontaneous & the first thing we need is concentration.
I think there is one game that need to think before making decision.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BRAIN AND MEMORY
l It just likes a computer.

MEMORY
The term memory identifies data storage that comes in the form of chips, and the word storage is used for memory that exists on tapes or disks.
The three basic forms of memory are short-term memory, which refers tomemories that can last from a few seconds up to a couple of minutes; intermediate long-term memory, which can last for days or weeks; and, long-term memory, which involves memories that can be recalled for years, or possibly an entire lifetime.
l Sensory information is stored in sensory memory just long enough. Humans have five traditional senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch.
l An example of this form of memory is when a person sees an object briefly before it disappears.
Short term Memory ( STM )
l When a person experiences short-term memory loss, he or she cannot remember incidents from 20 years ago.
l The duration of short term memory seems to be between 15 and 30 seconds. ( Atkinson and Shiffrin (1971) )
Long term Memory ( LTM )
l A system for permanently storing, managing, and retrieving information for later use.
RECALL
Recall or retrieval of memory refers to the subsequent re-accessing of events or information from the past, which have been previously encoded and stored in the brain. In common parlance, it is known as remembering.
ACTIVITY 2
“ CLOSE YOUR EYES “
You had given 3 minutes to remember all the alphabet.
Then, you need to close your eyes and recall it.
Ways to keep our memories long as possible.
1. Meditate to improve your working memory.
2. Drink coffee to improve your memory.
3. Eat berries for better long-term memory.
4. Exercise to improve your memory recall.
5. Chew gum to make stronger memories.
WHY I DO FORGET SOMETHING?
· Tumors, blood clots, or infections in the brain
· Thyroid, kidney, or liver disorders
· Drinking alcohol
· Head injury, such as a concussion from a fall or accident
HOW TO MAKE OUR BRAIN REMEMBER SOMETHING?
· Do something different repeatedly.
· Learn something new.
· Follow a brain training program.
· Spend time with your loved ones.
· Avoid crossword puzzles.
· Eat right–and make sure dark chocolate is included.
