To acquire information, we must control what comes in and what is blocked out from the environment. Material that we retain is first sent through a short-term memory where it is processed and then moved to a permanent storage area where physical changes occur in the nerve cells. (Information located in Chapter 8)

Transfer of Training: a learning processin which learning is moved from one task to another based on similarities between the tasks.
2)I think attention is the best because you are up and aware of whats going on and have no distractions.
One influence for acquiring information is the influence of attention, this occurs when you focus on learning. Another is chemicals put into your body, these can make you not pay attention. A final one is emotions if you don't feel like learning you won't.

1) Attention is alert focusing on material. Stimulants are things such as coffee that can increase learning. Depressants are things that effect learning negatively.
ReplyDelete2) I believe that attention is the most effective because when I am alert and listening then I learn the most. But then the depressants also play a part because when I have extreme anxiety then it is difficult for me to listen and learn.
