Misc.
2 most prominent ways to learn something
images and language
T or F: A neuron has 8 parts
True
3 types of memory
sensory, working and long term
what is declarative knowledge?
knowledge that
ex: capital
T or F: Myelin sheath thickens up until age 30
True
What are synaptic vesicles?
Dots on the axon terminals that have fluid in vesicles that are neurotransmitters
2 types of knowledge in long term memory
declarative knowledge
procedural knowledge
what is procedural knowledge?
knowledge how
ex: driving/snowboarding
Why is children's attention span short?
They can't control arousal levels
What is the synaptic gap?
Space between membranes, fluid in the gap
T or F: More connections are worse when creating and remembering nodes to learn
False
T or F: At 3 years old you have 3 spaces of learning capacity and with every 2 years of development you get another space
True
11 years old
AHA Effect
Once a node is established, it stays with you it just loses connection
3 ways to get from working memory to long term memory
repetition
organization
elaboration
3 types of knowledge
declarative knowledge
procedural knowledge
sequential declarative knowledge
3 parts of information processing
sciences, neurological, biological
Parts of a neuron
Dendrites, cell body, nucleus, myelin sheath, axon, axon terminal, nodes,
What is the duration and capacity of each of the 3 types of memory?
Sensory: D: Fraction of a second/ C: One picture at a time
Working: D: 20-30 seconds/ C: 5-9 images
Long term: D: a lot but not infinite/ C: short of a full lifetime
3 rules of knowledge
1. all knowledge is declarative knowledge
2. only some declarative knowledge can become sequential declarative knowledge
3. only sequential knowledge can become procedural knowledge
