MEMORY LEARNINGAND IMPROVING
CONCENTRATION
MEMORY AND BRAIN
MEMORY BRAIN
The retention of information over time or
the mind stores
An organ
Type of
SENSORYMEMORY
• Sensory information is
stored in sensory
memory just long enough
to be transferred to short-
term memory. Humans
have five traditional senses:
sight, hearing, taste, smell,
touch. Sensory
memory (SM) allows
individuals to retain
impressions
of sensory information after
the original stimulus has
ceased.
Long term memory Short termmemory
Contains data that will use for years Needs for a few minute
Unlimited capacity Limited capacity
Semantic , visual and forms of storage Auditory , verbal , and linguistic
representation
Information is stored in terms of individual
significance
Information is presented in a very shallow
format
Potentially forever 10-20 sec
e. g : you remember the house where you
lived when you were years old
e. g : you look up a telephone number ,
remember it long enough to dial it
UNDERSTANDINGMEMORY PROCESS
• The three
main process involved in
human memory are therefore
encoding, storage and recall
(retrieval). Additionally,
the process of memory
consolidation (which can be
considered to be either part of
the encoding process or the
storage process) is treated
here as a separate process in
its own right.
MEMORY STRATEGIES
• Look , snap , connect
• Make Mnemonics(tricks to remember information)
• Think in pictures, colours and shape
Association
strategies
• Reciting
• Teaching
• Sleep on it
Rehearsal
strategies
• Learn from general to specific
• Distributed practise
• Ordering
• Selection
Organizational
strategies
CONCENTRATION
• Theability to give your attentionor thoughtto a singleobject
or activity or theability toconcentrate.
CAUSES OF POOR CONCENTRATION
Lack of attention
Lack of interest
Lack of motivation
Distraction from others
Uncomfortable environment
Physiological matters: illness , tiredness
Psychological matters: personal, worries,
anxieties
STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING

Relate new information to what you already know
Structure information
Use mnemonics
Understand information
Rehearse information
Exercise your mind
Develop a healthy lifestyle
