TOPIC 5 : MEMORY, LEARNING, IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

What is memory ?

  - the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information.

  - something remembered from the past.

1) The Learning Pyramid 

     - Teach others ( 90% ) 

      - Practice ( 75% )

      - Discussion ( 50% )

      - Demonstration ( 30% )

      - Learn by Youtube ( 20% )

      - Reading ( 10% )

      - Lecture ( 5% )



So, the best way to learning is we teach others what we have know and do some practice to make you comfortable when you get any kind of questions. Reading is good but it can't be the best way because students always feel sleepy when they study alone . Lecturer will give you ways to answer the question but they will not help you except you ask them personally.

2) 3 Types of Memory


    - Sensory Memory is record information from the sense for up to three seconds.


    - Short - Term Memory is hold about seven items for up to twenty seconds before the material is forgotten or transferred to long term memory.


    - Long - Term Memory is relatively parmanent,can hold vast amounts of information.

• Do some practice
• Focus or it will lost
• Remember they keyword every single things
• Elaboration the information
