This was my presentations for critical thinking skills subject. This slides convey on the relationship on learning and memory.

6. Types of
memory
Procedural
Memory – stores
information on how
to do something
Working Memory –
aka short term
memory
Long-term Memory
–
stored, permanent
information
Semantic Memory
– general
information
involving who,
what and why
Episodic Memory –
information
associated with
time and place
where memory was
formed
Perceptual
Memory – serves to
identify objects and
structure of
language

7. SHORT TERM LONG TERMS
called “memory for
now”
contains all that we
are working on right
now.
will be lost after it is
used
call true memory or
memory for later
permanent information
made up of both
semantic and episodic
memory

8. Encoding:
Once we come in contact with information to be
remembered our brains develop a “code,” which
becomes a record of the experience
Storage:
This is the ability to hold and effectively store a
memory
Retrieval:
This refers to the ability to recall the memory
needed

9. How to Improve Your Memory
DON’T SKIMP ON EXERCISE OR
SLEEP !!
Make time for friends and
fun
Bulk up on brain-boosting
foods
Mnemonic devices and
memorization
Physical exercise increases oxygen to brain and reduces
the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss
sleep is necessary for memory
consolidation
researchers found that people with the
most active social lives had the slowest
rate of memory decline
laughter…seems to help people think more broadly
and associate more freely
activates areas of the brain vital to learning
and creativity
meditation improve many
different types of conditions
if left unchecked, it will destroys brain
cells and damages the hippocampus
NUTRITIONAL TIPS
Get your omega-3s
Limit calories and saturated fat
Eat more fruit and vegetables
Drink green tea
Visual image - Associate a
visual image with a word or
name Acrostic (or sentence) - Make up
a sentence in which the first
letter of each word is part of or
represents the initial
Rhymes and alliteration - Rhymes,
alliteration (a repeating sound or
syllable), and even jokes
Chunking - Chunking breaks a long
list of numbers or other types of
information into smaller, more
manageable chunks
Method of loci - Imagine placing the
items you want to remember along a
route you know well or in specific
locations in a familiar room or building

10. Tips for
enhancing
your ability to
learn and
remember
Pay attention
Involve as
many senses
as possible.
Relate
information to
what you
already know
focus on
understanding
basic ideas
Rehearse
information
you’ve already
learned

11. Reasons Why We Forget

12. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a
Day!, aka Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training:
How Old Is Your Brain? is an entertainment
video game that employs puzzles. It was
developed and published by the video
gaming company Nintendo for the
Nintendo DS hand held video game
console.

14. The hippocampus is a
horse-shoe shaped area of
the brain that plays an
important role in
consolidating information
from short-term memory
into long-term memory. It is
part of the limbic system, a
system associated with
emotions and long-term
memories. The
hippocampus is involved in
such complex processes as
forming, organizing, and
storing memories.
