An experiment to improve memory

How is your memory and there are many experiments that help to improve it. This is one of the experiments that most people know about. For young children, this is a game that can be played when many people gather together. You can play this game when you are alone and it is a must if there are many people. Some new changes are suggested here in this game.

 

Put five to ten small items in an opaque bag. Show the items to the other person. Take a minute to look at those items.

 

Then put those items back in the bag. Now ask them to identify what the objects are. This experiment is like this.

 

What else can be changed?

1.   If you are going to play alone, remember the objects inside and then recognize the objects after six to seven hours. You will know about how many hours you remember.

2.   If two or more people are going to play, it can be played several times a day. This will increase the rate of remembering things.

3.   Can increase or decrease the number of objects while playing with children. Starting with 2-3 items can increase the number to 25-30 items.

4.   If you want to make it more difficult for children according to their age, you can say things from C, say things from C.

5.   The game can be made more difficult by choosing which wooden objects, which are made of rubber, and which are made of steel.

6.   If many people are going to play this experiment as a game, marks can also be given as to how many objects someone remembers.

 

The number of people who are going to play can be calculated by writing the names of all the items, one mark for each item. The person who gets the highest marks will be the winner. In this way this memory exercise can be useful to increase your memory.

 

 

In late age, the hippocampus shrinks, impairing memory and raising the risk of dementia. Higher-fit individuals had greater hippocampus and medial temporal lobe sizes, and physical activity training increases hippocampal perfusion; nevertheless, it is unknown to what extent aerobic exercise training might alter hippocampal volume in late adulthood. Here, we demonstrate that aerobic exercise training improves the size of the anterior hippocampus, which enhances spatial memory, in a randomised controlled experiment including 120 older persons. Training in physical activity increased hippocampus volume by 2%, reversing age-related volume loss by one to two years. We also show that higher blood levels of BDNF, a modulator of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, are related to higher hippocampus volume. In the control group, hippocampal volume decreased, but greater preintervention fitness partially slowed the drop, indicating that fitness can prevent volume loss. The intervention had no impact on the volumes of the caudate nucleus or the thalamus. These theoretically significant results suggest that aerobic exercise training is efficient at reversing late-life hippocampus volume decrease, which is accompanied by enhanced memory performance.

 

Research suggests regular aerobic exercise can boost the size of the hippocampus, the core of the brain’s learning and memory systems.

 

Adults have experienced similar outcomes. In a University of Maryland study, older people who were not physically active were given a 12-week training regimen that included daily treadmill walking. The memory and recall of both groups had improved by the conclusion of the 12-week period, despite the fact that one group had modest cognitive impairment and the other had normal brain function. The participants' neural efficiency was also increased, as seen by the researchers using brain imaging (essentially, less neural resources had to be recruited to carry out the same memory task of recognising and recalling the names and faces of celebrities and famous individuals).

 

Numerous studies have demonstrated that regular aerobic exercise can increase the size of the hippocampus, the centre of the brain's learning and memory processes, however it is still unclear what is happening biologically. According to additional studies, physical activity enhances brain function by fostering the creation of a protein known as "brain-derived neurotrophic factor" (BDNF), which is known to boost the health of nerve cells and may play a part in memory enhancement.

 

Much of the BDNF evidence originates from experiments involving rats rather than people, similar to a lot of early research. For instance, Brazilian researchers discovered that aged rats given a regimen of brief bursts of modest activity (using a walking wheel) had increased levels of BDNF in their hippocampi. Additionally, in tests of rodent memory, the aged rats nearly equalled the performance of young rats. Stephen Hawking has one of the best brains in the world and has managed to keep it despite spending the majority of his life in a wheelchair. If you're reading this, you're not a rodent, so it's important to put things in perspective. The data, however, seems very plain to those of us with more typical cognitive abilities: the muscles in between your ears respond to exercise in a manner similar to that of the rest of your body.

 

Should you hop on your bike first if you're learning a new language? Perhaps, at least in light of a German study that shown the benefits of cycling for learning a foreign language. True incident. About 80 German women who spoke just one language were recruited by the researchers and split into three groups. One group listened to paired words—a typical German term and its Polish equivalent—while sitting down for 30 minutes. The third group used the headphones while lightly pedalling for 30 minutes, while the second group listened to the headphones after doing the same. The final group was better able to recall the brand-new words than the first two groups.

 

It is believed that low-level physiological arousal produced by mild exercise may prepare the brain for learning. It's also possible that the opposite is true; excessive intensity can overstimulate and divert the brain's attentional resources.
