The best brain exercises you can do for yourself is to get off that couch and work out. You probably haven’t thought of real exercise, where you get on a treadmill or work out at the gym as brain exercises, but you should start now. There are so many risk factors that can wreak havoc [...]
Wikipedia defines “speed reading†as a collection of reading methods which attempt to increase rates of reading without greatly reducing comprehension or retention.†They go on, however, to say it is “characterized by an analysis of trade-offs between measures of speed and comprehension.†Is speed reading a trade-off? Does it reduce the “value†of the subject matter into increments of time? It doesn’t have to be.
American POWs were reportedly brainwashed by their Korean and Chinese captors during the Korean War. They were put through extreme conditions, including torture, and their bodies were weakened from malnutrition and sleep deprivation. Several prisoners were not able to handle to strain and confessed to waging germ warfare, even though they did not. At the [...]
When we are trying to study and remember things we have been told that we should get rid of all background distractions. Noise has been thought of as detrimental to memory and learning. A recent study seems to say that some people actually can benefit from white noise to enhance their memory and improve their [...]
Actually, when looking for this answer I was surprised to find an array of answers. Some say the brain is pink, others say it is mostly gray. We usually think of the brain as being light gray or white, because we have seen them in jars on television or in a science class when they [...]
Two-Time USA Memory Champion; memory training expert and memory keynote Ron White shares his thoughts on the value of teachers identifying the different learning styles of students in order for them to improve grades. Discoveries in brain research show our cranium is divided into two hemispheres – the right side is our analytical side, and usually attributed to auditory/sequential learners; while the left is attributed to our creative side and to visual/spatial learners. How we process our information relates to how we function in other areas of our lives. The question is - are our teachers structuring their lesson plans toward only one type of learning group while missing the advantages and potential of the other?
Alzheimer’s is the leading cause of memory loss and dementia in people over 65, and affects over 300,000 people a year. It is devastating for not only the person who is suffering from it – for eventually they will not understand there is a problem, but takes control of everyone around them as they watch the progression from a viable person to a non-functioning one with a terminal illness.
As people get older the area in the brain called the hippocampus begins to shrink. This shrinkage leads to the development of dementia. A Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study found that those who exercise and push themselves away from the television and computer are not only in better physical shape, but their hippocampus also starts to grow – reversing the aging loss and increasing the brain size and memory function to add years to their life.
With all the chemical changes going through the bodies of adolescents – chemical, physical and neurological, it’s not wonder they are in a constant state of confusion. It’s a difficult time for both children and parents – ask anyone who has ever had to experience it. The good news is, in a few years it [...]
