As the end of the semester approaches, the children are all working hard to prepare for the exam, even squeezing their sleeping time more and more. It seems like there are more bloodshot eyes in their eyes, and parents are either heartbroken or anxious. In fact, there are methods for reviewing, provided that we understand the working principle of the human brain. In order to take care of some time sensitive parents, let’s first look at the conclusion: 1. Scientifically arrange time. The following are effective learning plans for making full use of the whole day: 1. Hunger before meals is suitable for learning; 2、 1-2 hours before bedtime is the golden period for memory; 3、 It’s okay not to study after meals, you can arrange leisure and entertainment appropriately to relax your brain. 4、 If you are too tired, it is recommended to have lunch break time; 5、 If you decide to take a nap, be sure to study hard before the nap. For the review arrangement of subjects: 1. Bedtime is very suitable for learning subjects that require memorization, such as English vocabulary and memorization of primary four subjects; 2、 In the morning, the mind is clearest and suitable for logical thinking. Schools usually arrange math, Chinese, physics, chemistry, etc. We can also arrange it this way on weekends when we review on our own; 3、 Waking up in the morning is the least suitable for memorization, only for review and simple calculations. Many schools arrange morning reading time, and if you want to be more efficient, you should review the content you memorized the night before, and it should be the same content. Okay, if you’re tight on time, that’s enough for now. But if you still want to know why, go ahead and analyze the principle. From the above plan, we can see that there are two factors that enhance memory: hunger and sleep. 1、 The hormones secreted by hunger stimulate the hippocampus. When hungry, the stomach secretes a hunger hormone called “appetite stimulating hormone”, which can enter the hippocampus with blood circulation and promote long-term activation of hippocampal neurons, making memory very simple. From a biological perspective, people are prone to drowsiness after meals because a large amount of blood enters the gastrointestinal tract and is busy with digestion and absorption, leading to a decrease in brain activity levels. Returning to the animal world would be easier to understand, as animals often face life-threatening situations. In addition to experiencing the terrifying danger of losing their lives, they also frequently worry about finding sufficient food sources. In order to efficiently avoid dangerous animals, it is necessary to deeply remember the fear of encountering natural enemies and the difficult to find lost places in the brain. After the almond responsible for emotions is activated, it will produce closely related experiences, which can make memory very simple. Of course, hunger here is’ moderate ‘, and excessive hunger can also cause lack of concentration. 2、 The hippocampus says, ‘If you don’t sleep, I can’t work.’ When we sleep, our brain integrates information. At this point, the hippocampus also reviews the information and determines whether it is necessary. If you don’t sleep, you won’t give the hippocampus the opportunity to organize and select information. If the hippocampus doesn’t have time to organize, the chaotic information will eventually be completely discarded. That’s why you will forget a lot of the knowledge points you memorized late at night the next day. After learning what we should learn, we should go to sleep well and look forward to the hippocampus showing its strength. 03 Memory tips derived from neuroscience: Some techniques are simple and can greatly enhance memory effects with just a little attention: the Mozart effect. This was discovered by Professor Francis Lauscher of the University of Wisconsin in the United States. Research has shown that Mozart’s music can temporarily make people smarter in less than an hour, but the effect is extremely significant. Can improve the IQ test scores of participants in the experiment by 8 to 9 points. Dr. Lauscher’s explanation for this is that Mozart’s music can coordinate the left and right brains of a person through pleasant rhythms and beautiful melodies. This little trick is especially effective for children who love music. Of course, as long as the child is not averse, Mozart’s music can be played for him. Isn’t it very simple? After reading the article, I suggest you take action. 2: Distributed learning is more effective than centralized learning. The experimental subjects were divided into two groups. One group completed the memorization within one day, while the other group completed it in two days. The difference in test scores on the second day was not significant, but on the third day, without anyone reviewing, the second group’s scores were significantly higher than those of the first group. It is because the second group had one sleep during the two-day learning process, and their memory was consolidated. (The importance of sleep is also mentioned here) So don’t force yourself to remember knowledge beyond your ability all at once. 3、 The emotional arousal method of almond activation not only improves memory, but also enhances attention. Because the amygdala not only transmits neural signals to the prefrontal cortex (a part of the cerebral cortex), but also maintains human attention to things. People will not feel bored with things that can stimulate their emotions. They can remember the names of their favorite celebrities and the game content they are good at, even if it is difficult to pronounce. So when we recite, we can also associate some puns or jokes, or even some content that is slightly “off the charts”, to stir up our emotions. 4、 Walking “is a switch that improves memory. When we see lions hunting, they will keep” walking “. I have seen some teachers asking children to stand up collectively during morning reading, which is particularly commendable. 5、 Don’t let the room temperature be too high. Animals feel a sense of crisis when it gets cold in winter and find it difficult to catch prey. If we stay in a comfortable air-conditioned room, there will be no sense of crisis, and drowsiness can easily make people fall asleep. So the temperature of the air conditioner still needs to be lowered appropriately. But don’t let yourself catch a cold. At the end: There are few true geniuses, and there are not many true fools either. Most children are ordinary children, and we can only do our best to provide them with methods that can improve their review efficiency.
