Chapter 5. Our Memory. Since We Obviously Know How It Works. Truthfully though, we never give it much thought, but what is our memory anyway? The inner workings of our memory, is what we’ll talk about today. So, first things first. We all know what memory is for: Memorizing. Or else, why would it be called our ‘memory’? However, how do we ‘memorize’ and ‘remember’? Well, in memory, there are three key processes. The first is  Encoding , which involves forming a memory code . It's like the process of recording a video, where you take a video of the event that's happening. Next is  Storage , which involves maintaining encoded information in memory over time . So, it means taking that video you recorded and save it in the, well, storage! The final process is  Retrieval , which involves recovering information from memory stores . Again, it's just viewing the video from the storage. There is another way to memorize the three key processes in memory. Think of our me...

             Chapter 3 – SENSATION AND PERCEPTION INTRODUCTION TO SENSATION AND PERCEPTION       Sensation and perception are personally related, sensation and recognition play two complimentary yet extraordinary parts by they way we decipher our reality. Sensation alludes to the way toward detecting our condition through touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell. This data is sent to our brains in crude frame where recognition becomes possibly the most important factor. Recognition is the way we decipher these sensations and in this way understand everything around us. This section will depict different speculations identified with these two ideas and clarify the essential part they play in the field of brain research. Through this section, you will pick up a superior thought of how our faculties function and how this data is composed and translated. SENSATION Sensation is the procedure by which our facultie...

BIOLOGICAL BASICS OF BEHAVIOUR NEURONS - Neurons are basic working unit of the brain as it transmits information to the nerve cells, muscle, gland cells. - Neurons are specialized to transmit information throughout the body in two ways which is chemical and electrical. Structure Of Neurons ·          Axon -        Carries nerve impulses  away from a cell body of a neurone. ·          Dendrite -           Carries nerve impulses from adjacent neurons into the cell body. ·          Cell body (Soma) -           Responsible for maintaining life of the cell as it contains the nucleus. ·          Myelin Sheath -            Insulates the ax...
