You know our left brain trying hard to read the color but at the same time, left brain still want to read the word. Lets try!

It quiet hard for me to done it but at the same time, it a fun game to try!

MEMORY SYSTEMS

• Sensory memory - Very temporary storage of information we receive from our senses.
• Short-term memory (STM) - Limited period of time and limited capacity. 

                                                          - Working memory.

• Long-term memory (LTM) - Can retain information for a long period of time.

                                                         - Elaboration rehearsal is required: Process involves thinking

                                                            about a stimulus a relating it to information already in memory.

ACTIVITY 2

Activity 2 is a kahoot! It a online game that can fit a lot of people in it. This game more on test our memories. You guys should try with your friends!

MNEMONIC DEVICES:

• Are methods for remembering information that is otherwise quite difficult to recall.
• A word of a sentence which is intended to be easier to remember than the thing it stands for.

MNEMONIC DEVICES:

• Rhymes and songs - Make a rhyme or a song of the facts.
• Loci systems - Creates visual associations with familiar locations. It can also help you                                       remember things in a particular order.
• Peg systems - Employs key words represented by numbers.

CAUSES OF POOR CONCENTRATION

• Vocabulary difficulties.
• Conceptual difficulties.
• Inappropriate reading speed.
• Distraction.
• Poor organisation.
• Lack of interest.
• Lack of motivation.

IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

• Phone - Put it on silent (not vibrate)

                      - Place it out of reach.

                      - Check it no more than once every hour.

• Mess - Clean/ organise your desk.

                    - Make your bed every morning.

                    - Want to be organized in studies? Take care of your room first.

• People - Go to the library.

                      - There are too many distractions @ home.

                      - People will talk to you @ home.

• Many pens - If you are color coding, use up to 3 colors!

                             - The rest will distract you and create unnecessary stress.

3 POWERFUL BRAIN HACKS TO HELP YOU FOCUS IN CLASS

• Your brain doesn't pay (do your class preparation)
• Remove all distractions (your brain can't multitask)
• We tend to lose focus after 10 minutes (engage in class and think actively)

HOW TO MEMBER WHAT YOU WROTE IN CLASS

• Listen actively - Write in your own words, connect to what you already know.
• Pay attention and ask questions if something is unclear.
• Review your notes in the evening and quiz yourself (use active recall).
• Study a little every weekend - Better to study a bit more often than pull allnighters.

ACTIVITY 5

In this activity, we have to borrow a book from library and write down the specific meaning of the word of sentences. Since I am DPIM student, I borrow a book that related to plant. Here the book:

I choose nonvascular plants. It mean, plants which lack true vascular tissues of xylem and phloem, as bryophytes; traditionally may also include algae, slime molds, fungi and bacteria.

My conclusion of this week activities is, I got to learn the importance of memory process. As a student I need to practice it in my daily. If you not concentrate in the class, you will lost what lecturer teach you and not understand the subject. Students also require to make their own schedule because it will help them to manage their own time.
