Brain vs Memory

Brain

• Physical place
• part of the visible, tangible world of the body

Memory

• allow to remember facts and experience
• consists of encoding, storing information and retrieval
• trace our brain

What Is Learning?

Learning is not about storing information but it is about acquiring information. Memory is different from learning. Memory is about storing it. Learning is a behavior,  and it also a process. There are two types of memory. First, short-term memory (STM) and the second one is long-term memory (LTM).



As a student, actually it is our job to give a full concentration in class. It is important so that we can do well in any examination or assignment. Some student have a problem to pay attention in class, it is because they have a poor concentration.
