Neuroeducation

Long-term memory.

• memory that helps us to incorporate objective knowledge in a conscious way.

• It's a type of memory in which the prefrontal cortex is activated to retain some information

  for a short period.

• It is a cognitive process where information and experiences are stored for extended periods, even years

• The stimuli that we receive in our sensory organs have a short

  duration and we will only store those that capture our attention and are meaningful to us.

Explicit memory

• is the prelude to long-term memory

• The stimuli that we receive in our sensory organs have a short

  duration and we will only store those that capture our attention and are meaningful to us.

• helps us to incorporate objective knowledge in a conscious way

• is the one in which learning happens unconsciously, for instance, when we

  write with a pencil,

Metacognition

• The ability to understand another person's point of view or beliefs.

• Thinking about one's own learning, thinking or perception

• Process by which brain cells die off in order to make room for more efficient connections between neurons

• Ability to store and recall conceptual, social, emotional and physical information.

Amygdala

• An almond-shaped cluster of neurons in the limbic system thought to be involved in processing emotions and memory

• A white matter structure that connects the right and left hemispheres of the cerebral cortex

• Area of the brain made up by the front portions of right and left hemispheres of the cerebral cortex

• Part of the limbic system involved in storing new knowledge.

Executive function

• Higher-order cognitive processes that allow one to control organization of thought, and apply context specific rules in order to execute a task successfully.

• Other Important Skills:

  • Planning and Organization,

  • Goal Setting and Completion,  

  • Decision-Making and

  • Attention and Focus

• A multistructural system involved in emotions, memory and physical regulation

• Thinking about one's own learning, thinking or perception

Dopamine

• Neurotransmitter that is naturally produced in the brain and is thought to be involved in reward-based cognitive functions

• It is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, primarily known as the body's "stress hormone"

• It is a chemical messenger in the brain, that plays a crucial role in reward, motivation, and pleasure.

• All of them are correct

Frontal lobes

• Area of the brain made up by the front portions of right and left hemispheres of the cerebral cortex.

• These areas are involved in memory, planning, organization, language and impulse control

• These areas also have been linked to personality.

• All of them are correct.

Neurotransmitter

• These are pathways through which nerve messages travel as they move among the various parts of the brain

• Nervous system chemicals that relay, amplify and modulate electrical signals from one neuron to another neuron.

• Cells that make up the nervous system, they process and transmit signals electrically.

• Coordination of visual and motor processes

Brain's reward system

• It is a network of interconnected structures that drives motivation and pleasure, reinforcing behaviours necessary for survival

• It's primarily fueled by the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is released when engaging in rewarding activities, creating a sense of pleasure and reinforcing the behaviour

• This system is crucial for establishing associations between environmental cues and rewarding or aversive experiences. 

• All of them are correct

Cognitive overload

• A state of mental exhaustion that occurs when an individual is presented with too much information or tasks simultaneously, exceeding their capacity to process and retain it.

• Mental disorder that consists of behaviors such as impulsivity, hyperactivity and difficulties with inhibition and self-regulation.

• This can lead to a decrease in overall cognitive function, including impaired learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.

• The ability to recognize and vicariously experience another person's emotional state
