Understanding Human Memory
For effective learning to take place, the learner needs to
understand about the three stages of any learning episode: acquisition, retention,
and retrieval. Acquisition is how information reach our sensory system (the brain), retention
involves the process of storage (how we organise and keep the knowledge we have acquired), and retrieval relates to how information
is being used when needed (how we recall someone's telephone number or reproduce the knowledge during examinations). Our experts
at IQKid are trained psychologists who know how to improve the effectiveness of each stage, resulting in the most effective
learning experience.
If you have experienced difficulties during examination, you
thought you understood the materials during study but somehow you could not answer the questions, you could be failing in
the retrieval or retention phase. The analogy is like you know you have a pair of socks in a closet full of other socks and
you could not find them at the time you need them for a special party. Sounds familiar? IQ-Kid programs will help you to understand
your own brain functions and unleash the tremendous potential in it once you learn to work the way your brain works.
