Memory process and strategies
Psychology divides the learning and memory creation process into three important stages
Encoding - initial learning of information
Storage - retaining of information in long-term memory
Retrieval - access and use of encoded and stored information
Strategies for different stages of the memory process
Encoding - initial exposure to stimulus
▫️ Elaborative encoding
▪️ A mnemonic that relates to-be-remembered information to previously existing memories and knowledge
▪️ If you are unable to answer “How?” or “Why?” then that could be a potential gap in your knowledge
▫️ Semantic encoding
▪️ The process of giving meaning to a piece of information employing techniques such as chunking, mnemonics, and memory palaces
▪️ The meaning of something (a word, phrase, picture, event, whatever) is encoded as opposed to the sound or vision of it
▪️ Semantic encoding results in better long-term retention of information when compared with strategies such as rote memorization
▫️ Dual coding
▪️ This is the idea of using different types of stimuli to help learners encode information in their brains more effectively. For example, visual and verbal
Storage- maintaining information on long-term memory
▫️ Chunking
▫️ Mnemonics
▫️ Sleeping
Retrieval - access and utilization of information that has been encoded and stored
▫️ Spaced retrieval
▫️ Interlearning
▫️ Testing effect

Today is language day. I was studying English in the morning, and after lunch, I started German Hope you have good weekends
focused thinking vs diffuse thinking
focused thinking
▫️ targeted, concentrated and narrow thinking
▫️ need for a specific tasks
▫️ essential for acquiring knowledge and understanding
▫️ active
The strength of focused thinking lies in its ability to analyze and solve problems in a sequential manner
diffuse thinking
▪️ general, broad and conceptual thinking
▪️ creates connections and links
▪️ essential for consolidation of memory
▪️ passive
Rather than being focused on a defined path, diffuse thinking allows your subconscious to make unexpected connections between disparate ideas
The trick is not to choose between the two approaches, but rather to cycle between focused and diffuse thinking for the most significant impact
Want to learn an unfamiliar and challenging concept ❓ Study it with focused thinking, then let your brain shift into diffuse thinking. The combination will allow your conscious brain to investigate the idea while your subconscious mind forms new links and connections to embed it into your memory and thinking

Antidepressant food
Dietary pattern and food choice may play a role in the treatment and prevention of brain-based disorders, particularly depression
❕ Many nutrients are implicated in the pathophysiology of depression, for instance: the long-chained omega-3 fatty acids, B-vitamins, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D. Deficiencies of these nutrients can cause depressive symptoms
Nutrients such as the long-chained omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, magnesium, and several phytonutrients promote the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) and thus influence neuroplasticity
Antidepressant nutrients are folate, iron, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA), magnesium, potassium, selenium, thiamine, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and zinc
Antidepressant plant food with high antidepressant food score
▫️ watercress
▫️ spinach
▫️ mustard, turnip, or beet greens
▫️ lettuces (red, green, romaine)
▫️ swiss chard
▫️ fresh herbs
▫️ chicory greens
▫️ pummelo
▫️ peppers (bell, serrano, or jalapeno)
▫️ kale or collards
▫️ pumpkin
▫️ dandelion greens
▫️ cauliflower
Antidepressant animal food with high antidepressant food score
▪️ oyster
▪️ liver and organ meats (spleen, kidney, or heart)

Study tips every student should know ✏️
Listen carefully. Even if you feel that you are not an auditory learner, try your best to listen carefully and attentively. For example, a teacher may emphasize important information or add information from his experience that you will not read anywhere
Read curiously. If you try to learn what you are curious about, chances are you will remember what you read much more easily and quickly. So look for interest in everything. You never know what will be helpful to you in the future
Think critically. The sharing of different opinions, theories, or queries can help you develop deeper critical thinking around subjects. Read my post about ‘critical thinking’
Note-taking actively. Think actively, make connections. Don’t just write notes for you to have them. Instead, write notes consciously, adding illustrations, diagrams, and information from different sources
Remember regularly. Review your notes, index cards, mind maps time to time. Make a plan for when to repeat each topic. Practice makes permanent
Reflect personally. You should ensure that you reflect on what you are learning. How does it relate to you? How can it help you in your future profession?
Explain verbally. One of the best ways to establish whether or not you have grasped what you have just studied is to explain it to someone
