Instead you need to consistently challenge your brain so it will age healthfully” (Corrigan, 2003, para. 5). Having a basic understanding of the left and right brain or hemisphere will assist us in our quest for a happier lifestyle with a sharper, healthier brain. We all know that we think and learn in different ways. A. Hilliard defines learning style as, “the sum of the patterns of how individuals develop habitual ways of responding to experience and distinguishes learning styles by considering the holistic vs. the analytic learner ("Learning Styles, Culture & Hemispheric Dominance," 1997, para.
As adults mature in age (60-70) the desire to learn new things and retention of knowledge diminishes tremendously. Although between ages 25-60 the desire to excel is greater and more relevant to the lives we live. Article 2 took a slightly different approach. The theory here focused more on a individual theory of adult learning. For a good part of the twentieth century, adult learning was understood as a cognitive process, one in which the mind took in facts and information, converting it all to knowledge, which then could be observed as subsequent behavior change.
However, the investigations about this topic reveal the real effects that bilingualism produces at a brain organization level and to cognitive networks. On the one hand, it is clearly seen the bilingual children’s results on cognitive tasks outperforming their monolingual peers. On the other hand, there are the favorable results regarding people at an old age enduring the symptoms of diseases such as dementia or Alzheimer, in where they show a delay of this devastating symptoms and also a higher level of cognitive functioning even when they present a more advanced state of disease. Consequently, and as the investigations can establish, bilingualism is a brain activity that requires certain types of abilities as attention or memory providing to the bilingual speaker a cognitive advantage that brings many benefits to the speaker. Key Concepts: Benefits of bilingualism, Cognitive aspects, Language adquisition Cognitive Benefits of Bilingualism: Since Childhood to Old age Introduction Language is the basis for all human experience; it is part of every human being development and it is considered the expression of thought and what allows us
STM is described as working memory because it is used to emphasise the active part of memory where information we are consciously aware of is actively ‘worked on’ in many ways. Working memory enables us to consciously use information from sensory memory and LTM. I think working memory is more appropriate because when we are consciously paying attention to sensory information we are ‘working’ the short term memory. 7. Information might be forgotten if it is not rehearsed to remain in our LTM or if we are distracted by new information which pushes out the information already in our STM.
COURSE NAME: Neuro-musculoskeletal Proprioceptive impairment has a significant impact on rehabilitation outcome – discuss The term ‘rehabilitate’ means to make someone ‘able’ (Allen, 2002). The outcome of rehabilitation is to help a person achieve the highest level of function, independence and quality of life (Edwards, 2002). However, the process of rehabilitation is much individualised and its structure will often depend on the source of the pathology and the presence of co-morbidities; this will also affect the extent and duration needed for patients to achieve their highest level of functioning. One example of a deficit that is considered to hinder the prognosis of rehabilitation, subsequently impacting on rehabilitation outcome, is the presence of a proprioceptive impairment. Proprioception was first introduced by the English physiologist, Charles Sherrington (Cohen, 1999).
However the hypothesis that the method of loci improves memory recall was supported. It was concluded that loci enhances memory recall but further studies should closely examine the limitations caused by the participants. Keywords: method of loci, memory recall The effect of the types of loci on memory recall The method of loci was first developed in the time of ancient Romans and Greeks (Roediger, 1980). It is one of the oldest mnemonic devices that introduced learning techniques that aided information retention (Moe & De Beni, 2005). The method of loci is a method of memory enhancement which uses visualisation of specific path at a familiar location, to organise and recall large amounts of information (Legge, Madan, Ng & Caplan, 2012).
These resolutions can be anything from quitting smoking to losing weight. It is believed by some that if one follows through with their resolutions that they will become a better person. The next theory that we will examine is the biological and evolutionary theories. These theories are that “important components of personality are inherited. (Feldman, 2009, p.399) This means that this theory is determined by our
We have seen the toll that it takes of their lives. We are hoping that with this study we might be able to improve their quality of live by reducing the affects of hypertension through an enjoyable program. We want to create a program that can form a new active lifestyle for hypertensive people which will benefit them long after the study is completed. LITERATURE REVIEW In the American Journal of Hypertension a study was conducted to determine the relationship between different types of physical activity and cardiovascular risk among hypertensive subjects. They wanted to determine the correlation of daily work activities, regular exercising and regular physical leisure time activities can have a noticeable impact in reducing cardiovascular risk.
Diversity may affect organizations positively like in problem solving and creativity or can affect negatively in terms of not cooperating with each other. But it is believed that if organizations properly manage HR & find the right mix of diversified workforce can enhance employee & organizational performance Although some studies reported that performance can be affected positively by age while others show neither significant nor positive effects but increasing age diversity can result in decreasing commitment and increasing age discrimination perception (Anantha & Arokiasamy, 2013). Uschi & Stephan, (2013) explains in their research “positive effects of ageing and Age-Diversity in Innovative Companies –Large Scale Evidence on Company Productivity” that moderators may be differ in different studies and on the basis of those differences these results are different, task requirement is one of the important moderator, age diversity has a positive effect on organizational productivity and the number of tasks performed in a company shows the direction of these
To remember something new, it must be clearly inculcated in the brain. It requires time and effort to learn new concepts. To let the learned information stick to the brain, a good language learner must learn how to use learning strategies to overcome any language barriers otherwise that learners will certainly fail. These strategies offer particular advantages and the use of an appropriate learning strategy can surely enhance success with any learning task (Sabuncuoglu, 2013). Learning to use memory-improvement strategies effectively will reduce the risk of forgetting information that the learners had learned and studied and will help learners store and retrieve information in an orderly string.
