Our BRAIN is perhaps the most fascinating organ in the human body.. It controls everything from breathing to emotions to learning.. Here are some interesting facts about how our BRAIN develops,, what can affect that development,, and how learning is impacted:

è The ability to learn and remember new things is called declarative memory and is processed in a different part of our BRAIN from where the memories of how to do something are stored..

è Scent is a powerful trigger for memory.. A study indicates that a memory paired with scent can be recalled more easily..

è Each time a memory is recalled or a new thought occurs,, a new connection is created in our BRAIN..

è Memory is formed by associations,, so to promote memory in students,, create associations for them..

è Our BRAIN consolidates memories while you sleep..

è A lack of sleep may actually decrease your ability to create new memories..

è Studies suggest that short-term memory happens as a result of chemical and electrical impulses in our BRAIN,, as compared to more structural changes that are associated with long-term memory..
