"An established principle of learning and memory is called consolidation. Consolidation is a process by which over time a memory will solidify until it becomes permanent. The term itself refers to the fact that the memory is brought together (consolidated) into a clear and organized whole."
"Research has actually been done to find out which drugs will promote quick, solid consolidation and which drugs tend to block consolidation."
Your Assignment:
1.) Read "Testing Your Memory" on pages 240 and 241. (You do not need to do the experiment)
2.) If these drugs were proved to be safe, what practical applications would each of these drugs have?
3.) In other words, when would you want quick consolidation, and when would you want to block consolidation? Explain.

1) Done.
ReplyDelete2) The drugs would help you remember. I think that these drugs would be a waste of money because you could just take the time to memorize things on your own.
3) You would want quick consolidation when it is something you do not need to know forever such as a speech. Block would be something that you would use along time after learning.
2) They would help people better there memory.
ReplyDelete3) When you need to know something for a little while and block it when you are needing to know something for a long time. Because this will help you with the information you need and the information you don't need.
