Cognitive Learning

I learned and remembered multiple aspects and topic that the video we watched in class covered and that is....

One learns better, when their studying is inconsistent. ways. This may be a change in the enviroment they are in but it may also be a shift in the time they study. This is becasue you are not just cramming in information to your head, rather you are taking more time to fully understand and you are also giving your brain a rest. There was a study conducted which proved exactly so. The study had to groups of people. Ones whom studied in 2 different types of enviroment and one whom on;ly studied in one enviroment. The results should that the first group, or the group which studied in 2 different environments were able to remember up to 40% more of the information then those whom stayed in the same place the whole time.
Another aspect is the video mentioned, is that getting distracted is not nesesarily a bad thing. Rather, napping, listening to music, and sometimes walking away can be helpful in order to remember better. This is because you are once again giving your brain a rest and allowing you brain to take up the information. Cramming in information is not good for anything except short tern memory.

You can not remember everything and a big part of learning and memorizing is forgetting because if not you have lots of useless information in your head.

Also, you learn better if you split you attention. One hour of math today and one hour tomorrow, is better then 2 hours all in one day. Because of the same reason I mentioned above which is that you are giving your brain a rest. 

Another important point is that you should test yourself throughout, in order to memorize better. This is so that you can review the information over and over and let it stick into your head.

Lastly, the video used and experiment to show us how inconsistent learning can hekp us in the long run. They used bean bags and they made two groups one that practice the same 3m meter throw everyday and one that practiced different throw (except the one they were to preform) in the end the kids who practiced from different distances did the best. 

Evaluate how one can say when they have memorized and expanded their leaning and understanding?

One can say this when they have taken a test the next day and feel an improvement in their abilities. However, this would have to be done after a prolonged period of time and in some way it could be experimental. We could connect this back to the idea of sense perception and science. Through experimenting we could take a couple of people and present them the same tests, however one will study in  the 'normal way' such as a cram session, and then one who does all in which the video says, we present them with the same test and SEE how their scores differ. In addition we can also evaluate ones learning by seeing how their knowledge has increase because they will be able to remember things for a longer time and explain things in more depth.
