Intro to Module 7: Memories
Today we begin our study of memory and how it affects learning. Personally, I think that smell and music are the most powerful memory triggers. How many of you have spent hours studying for a test, but once it is handed to you you can't remember anything. Yet, when you turn on the radio in your car you can sing the words to most of the songs, even the ones you don't like! Music is powerful, it is easily ingrained into our memories, because it stimulates large parts of our brain, like areas of the limbic system. Studies have shown that music can enhance the memory of Alzheimer's and dementia patients. It has also been used to help people, who have suffered traumatic brain injury, recover their memories. If you have about 12 minutes watch the a clip from Alive Inside: How the Magic of Music Proves Therapeutic for Patients with Alzheimer's and Dementia. It is eyeopening and tremendously moving!
Tips for Success in Honors Psychology
1. EVERY DAY log into and work in the course for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes.
2. EVERY DAY reading the daily announcement posted in the Learning Block Forum and complete the tasks and assignments listed. Remember, the Learning Block Forum is found on the Topic List page.
3. STAY ON PACE - To be on pace you must be completing the assignments listed in the Daily Pacing Guide each day. You can find the Daily Pacing Guide in each announcement and in the Course LiveBinder.
4. DOUBLE CHECK - After submitting a written assignment, quiz, post-assessment, etc... DOUBLE CHECK to make sure it was submitted correctly. You should receive confirmation that your assignment submitted. Always DOUBLE CHECK.
5. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES - In order to avoid technical difficulties DO NOT use ChromeBooks, IPad’s, or tablets. If you find you are having technical difficulties, i.e. a link, video, or any other aspect of the course is not working correctly, switch browsers to Mozilla Firefox or Safari. Moodle and SoftChalk work best in these browsers.
6. QUESTIONS - I am always happy to answer your questions BUT before you ask make sure you have read the daily announcement and checked the course LiveBinder, you might find the answer(s) you are looking for there:)
