Lacy, Joyce W.; Yassa, Michael A.; Stark, Shauna M.; Muftuler, L. Tugan; Stark, Craig E. L. – Learning & Memory, 2011
Producing and maintaining distinct (orthogonal) neural representations for similar events is critical to avoiding interference in long-term memory. Recently, our laboratory provided the first evidence for separation-like signals in the human CA3/dentate. Here, we extended this by parametrically varying the change in input (similarity) while…

Rekart, Jerome L. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2011
Multitasking impedes learning and performance in the short-term and may affect long-term memory and retention. The implications of these findings make it critical that educators and parents impress upon students the need to focus and reduce extraneous stimuli while studying or reading. Course-based quizzes and tests can be used for more than…

Miller, Michelle D. – College Teaching, 2011
Cognitive psychology has much to contribute to our understanding of the best ways to promote learning and memory in the college classroom. However, cognitive theory has evolved considerably in recent decades, and it is important for instructors to have an up-to-date understanding of these theories, particularly those--such as memory theories--that…

Hand, Sarah – Primary Science, 2010
Since many people tend to use photographs as memory anchors, this author decided she wanted to know whether the process of capturing and manipulating an image taken during a learning activity would act as a memory anchor for children's visual, auditory and kinaesthetic memories linked to their cognitive learning at the time. In plain English,…

Bauer, Patricia J. – Zero to Three (J), 2009
Adults experience a paucity of memories from infancy and early childhood. This childhood amnesia contributed to the impression that infants and young children lacked the ability to remember the experiences of their lives. The development of nonverbal tests of memory led to a revision of this perspective and a wealth of evidence that young children…

Laughbaum, Edward D. – MathAMATYC Educator, 2011
Basic brain function is not a mystery. Given that neuroscientists understand the brain's basic functioning processes, one wonders what their research suggests to teachers of developmental algebra. What if we knew how to teach so as to improve understanding of the algebra taught to developmental algebra students? What if we knew how the brain…

Brown, Gordon D. A.; Neath, Ian; Chater, Nick – Psychological Review, 2007
A model of memory retrieval is described. The model embodies four main claims: (a) temporal memory--traces of items are represented in memory partly in terms of their temporal distance from the present; (b) scale-similarity--similar mechanisms govern retrieval from memory over many different timescales; (c) local distinctiveness--performance on a…

Clark, Ruth Colvin; Mayer, Richard E. – Performance Improvement, 2008
A learner-centered approach is a central feature of instruction based on a constructivist learning model. However, there is some confusion regarding the requirement for behavioral activity as a prerequisite for a learner-centered environment. We offer evidence in this article that some types of behavioral activity can interfere with cognitive…

Walker, Karen – Education Partnerships, Inc., 2005
Since the 1990s was declared to be the decade of the brain, technology has advanced enough through MRIs, CAT Scans and PET Scans, that live brains have been able to be studied. Although this is still a relatively new field of study, what has been discovered thus far, has wide reaching implications for educators in the area of pedagogy and how to…

Brewer, William F.; Pani, John R. – 1984
The four sections of this paper provide an analysis of the structure of human memory. The first section, intended to provide a clear example of personal memory, examines a hypothetical episode in the life of an undergraduate student, and shows how one episode can give rise to three different forms of memory: personal, semantic, and rote…

Kotsopoulos, Donna – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2007
The author's secondary school mathematics students have often reported to her that quadratic relations are one of the most conceptually challenging aspects of the high school curriculum. From her own classroom experiences there seemed to be several aspects to the students' challenges. Many students, even in their early secondary education, have…

Ericsson, K. Anders; Chase, William G. – American Scientist, 1982
Discusses laws and general characteristics of normal memory, specifying how exceptional memory feats deviate from and contradict them. Also discusses research in support of the assertion that normal memory structure is sufficient to explain exceptional memory feats, if differences in practice and prior experiences are taken into account.…

Dennis, Simon – Cognitive Science, 2005
The syntagmatic paradigmatic model is a distributed, memory-based account of verbal processing. Built on a Bayesian interpretation of string edit theory, it characterizes the control of verbal cognition as the retrieval of sets of syntagmatic and paradigmatic constraints from sequential and relational long-term memory and the resolution of these…

Carlisle, Kenneth E. – Training and Development Journal, 1985
Describes how a public service company developed a four-day course designed to evaluate trainees' learning ability and upgrade their study skills. Examines the structured group pretest of trainees' entry study skills, the benefits of being a goal-oriented trainee, the PREP (preview, read, examine, prompt) Study System, memory recall, and test…

Linderholm, Tracy – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2006
In college-level courses, the vast majority of students read expository textbooks with a primary purpose in mind: to memorize and, hopefully, understand enough information to receive a particular grade on a course exam. Intuitively, this kind of reading is different than the kind of reading that these same students do when reading a novel while…
