How The Memory Works In Learning

Brain development and intelligence are plastic in that internal and environmental stimuli constantly change the

Teaching
structure and function of neurons and their connections
Grows
Through neuroplasticity, interneuron connections (dendrites, synapses, and myelin coating) continue to be pruned or constructed
Brain
in response to learning and experiences throughout our lives.

Prefrontal cortex
High
Stress
The higher thinking processes of executive functions (judgment, critical analysis, prioritizing) is also the CEO that
Restricts
can manage and control our emotions
Brain
Processing Emotion sensitive limbic system ,switching-station that determines which part of the brain will receive input and
determine response output
to the
Survival
State
Memory is The brain turns data from the senses into learned information in the hippocampus
Constructe This encoding process requires activation or prior knowledge with a similar pattern to physically link with the new
d and
input if a short-term memory is to be constructed
Stored by
Patterning

Memory Once and encoded short-term memory is constructed it still needs to be activated multiple times

Ideally in response to a variety of prompts for neuroplasticity to increase its durability

ive Brain)

1.ignore it

Control which
sensory data
from the
environment
your brain lets
in or keeps out

2. fight against it as a negative experience

(sending signals that may cause you to act
inappropriately)
3.avoid it (causing you to daydream)

Most valuable
information
tends to pass
into your
thinking brain

Brain will not

truly process
the information
or remember it.

1.The Limbic System: Your

Emotional Core
-Where amygdala and hippocampus
evaluate whether this information is
useful

The Amygdala
-A system for routing information based
on your emotional state
-When experience negative emotions ,it
will puts brain into survival mode which
block information to entry prefrontal
cortex

To overcome it:
1.Slow down and take a moment to reflect
instead of react
2.To imagine you are directing yourself in
a play

The Hippocampus
-links new sensory input between past
memories and stored knowledge to make
new relational memories.
-The executive function networks can
convert short-term relational memories
into long-term memories and organize
newly coded memories into long-term
knowledge when focus

What you can do:

-Reviewing and practicing something
you have learned
-Repeated stimulation

2.Reticular activating
system (RAS)-The
Gatekeeper
-Located at brain stem

-Receives input from

sensory nerves and
internal organs

To make brain work

optimally:
1.Keep yourself physically
healthy and well rested
2.To develop awareness and
control over emotions
3.Practice focusing and
observing yourself

3.Dopamine: Feeling Good

Helps You Learn
-As an important
neurotransmitters
-Messages connected to new
information travel from
neuron to neuron as tiny
electrical currents
-Dopamine carry electrical
messages across the
gap(synapses)
-New information.produced
-Brain releases extra
dopamine when
enjoyable
What you can do:
-Experiencing pride at
accomplishing something
-Take part in certain activities.
