WHAT ABOUT THE BRAIN


THE BRAIN NEEDS FUEL OXYGEN,
WATER, GLUCOSE AND REST
THE MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION
FOR YOUNG ADULTS IS 2 MINUTES
BEYOND CHRONOLOGICAL AGE
PEOPLE LEARN MOST AT THE START
AND END OF THE SESSION
PEOPLE LEARN IN DIFFERENT WAYS

WHAT ABOUT THE BRAIN


PEOPLE LEARN POORLY UNDER
STRESS
SELF-ESTEEM IS A VITAL FACTOR
PEOPLE REMEMBER CONTEXT MORE
THAN CONTENT
RECALL NEEDS REGULAR REVIEW
MOTIVATION IS REQUIRED
THE BRAIN NEEDS TO MAKE SENSE
OF SOMETHING TO WORK BEST

MEMORY
AS MUCH AS 40% OF INFORMATION
CAN BE FORGTTEN WITHIN 5
MINUTES
ABOUT 80% CAN BE FORGOTTEN
WITHIN 24 HOURS
EXPERTS THINK REGULAR REVIEW
CAN BOOST MEMORY BY 400%
WE CAN IMPROVE OUR MEMORY

TEACHING
WE REMEMBER ABOUT 90% OF
WHAT WE TEACH BUT ONLY 5-10%
OF WHAT WE READ OR HEAR
SOTEACH YOUR SELF, YOUR
FRIEND, YOUR MUM, ETC

Take a look at the picture? What do you see?

Research has shown that


young children cannot identify
the intimate couple because
they do not have prior memory
associated with such a
scenario.
Children see nine dolphins.
This is a test to determine if
you already have a corrupted
mind. If it is hard for you to
find the dolphins within six
seconds, your mind is indeed
corrupted.

Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena


Want to confuse your eyes and brain a bit?
Yes? Then you might want to have a look at the following pics ..

It ...

doesnt move!

... parallel or not?

Coil or circle?

Concentrate on the cross in the middle, after a while you will notice that
this moving purple dot will turn green!

Look at the cross a


bit longer and youll
notice that all dots
except the green one
will disappear.

Best things last ...

Follow the instruction below.


1) Stare at the 4 little dots on the middle of the picture for 30 seconds
*
2) then look at a wall near you
*
3) a bright spot will appear
*
4) twinkle a few times and youll see a figure
*
5) What do you see? Or even WHO do you see?
