Day : 2
Lecturer : Sir Muhammad Sufyan bin Mohammad Zaki


                                                  

In learning, it is important for us to remember every details in every subject to get pointer 4.00 flat. For me this topic is really important because memory plays important role to every student. Every student should increase their memory and improve their concentration to success in studies. In this topic, i have learnt about the strategies and the ways on how we can improve our memory to remember things. Plus, i have learnt about how human digest and keep all the information.

MEMORY :  in 2011, Santrock had said that memory is the retention of information overtime or the mind store or remember information ( computer software) 

BRAIN :  brain is an organ in human body ( computer hardware) 

                                         

there are steps for human to process something to keep it in our brain. Especially when we tries to remember things in our studies. 

LEARN

 - you need to learn new things so that u will gain knowledge

- when you gain knowledge, you will get information through your senses

REMEMBER

- after you learnt something, you will remembered

- the information will trasfer to another neuron in your nervous system to get to your integrating system which is your brain and spinal cord

ENCODE

- when you remembered something, your brain will save the memory

- when the information has arrive to your integrating system, it will be classify and analysis based on the category

STORE

- when there is memory about the information, your brain will store the information

- after your information has been classified, your integrating system will store the information in hypothalamus

REVIVE THE INFORMATION

- when the memory was created, you will be easier to revise and remember the information

MEMORY

based on Tulring in 1985, memory is the capacity that permits organisms to benefit from past experiences. Functions of memory are memory can act like a storage to save all the imformation. Plus, memory can also retrieval all your information and being function as specific system functionally such as your skills and save a the procedure. Memory has been divided to 2 functional systems which is :

• WORKING MEMORY

1. Trace Decay - Memories fade automatic with the time
2. Proactive Interference - Memory in someone's past influence the new ones
3. Introactive Interference - Old memories changed by the new ones
